How bright is it?
Lumen output depends on the bulb used (not included). With a recommended 60W ST64 vintage bulb, expect approximately 800 lumens - suitable for accent or ambient lighting.
Light color and feel
Color temperature is determined by the bulb. A 2700K-3000K bulb produces warm white light that complements the mercury glass and polished nickel finish. The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly.

Overall dimensions: 5.88 in wide x 11.88 in high, with a 13.06 in extension from the wall. Backplate is 4.5 in wide x 7.88 in high. Works well on walls with standard stud spacing.
