A 1-light swing arm sconce from the Athens collection, finished in matte black with a matte white frosted glass globe, ideal for bedside reading or hallway accent lighting.
The Athens swing arm sconce combines industrial styling with functional adjustability. Its heavy cast components and steel construction give it a sturdy, contemporary look, while the matte white frosted glass shade softens the light. The adjustable swing arm allows you to direct light exactly where needed, making it a versatile choice for task and ambient lighting.
Best for
- Bedrooms, mounted beside the bed as a reading light with the swing arm positioned over a nightstand
- Hallways and corridors, providing accent lighting at eye level
- Living rooms, used as a task light above a chair or sofa
- Damp-rated bathrooms, installed near a vanity or mirror (not in direct shower spray)
- Home offices, as a flexible task light for desks
Not ideal for
- Spaces where a fixed, non-adjustable light is preferred
- Very large rooms where a single 1-light sconce may not provide sufficient illumination
- Outdoor uncovered areas (damp-rated only, not wet-rated)
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb used (not included). With a standard 60W equivalent LED bulb (800-900 lumens), it provides ample task light for reading or accent lighting. For softer ambient light, use a lower wattage bulb.
Light color and feel
Light color is determined by the bulb you choose. The matte white frosted glass shade diffuses light evenly, reducing glare and creating a soft, warm glow. For a warm, cozy feel, choose a 2700K-3000K bulb. The fixture is dimmable when used with a dimmable bulb and compatible dimmer switch.
Sizing and fit
The sconce extends 13.5 inches from the wall and has an overall height of 13.5 inches. The shade is 8 inches wide and 7 inches tall. The backplate measures 4.5 inches wide by 7.88 inches tall. It is suitable for most wall spaces and can be mounted on standard electrical boxes.
