A 1-light swing arm sconce from Innovations Lighting's Athens collection, finished in polished chrome with a clear basket weave glass shade, designed for damp-rated locations like bathrooms and covered patios.
The Athens swing arm sconce combines a sturdy steel and cast brass construction with a polished chrome finish and a clear basket weave glass shade. The adjustable swing arm allows you to direct light exactly where needed, making it a versatile choice for reading nooks, bedside tables, or hallway accent lighting. Its modern contemporary and farmhouse style fits seamlessly into a variety of decor.
Best for
- Bedrooms as a reading sconce beside the bed, mounted 60-66 inches above the floor
- Hallways and corridors for accent lighting, spaced 6-8 feet apart
- Bathrooms in damp locations (UL/ETL rated for damp areas) such as above a vanity or beside a mirror
- Covered patios or porches where damp-rated fixtures are required
- Living rooms as a task light for reading chairs or sofas
Not ideal for
- Spaces with ceilings under 8 feet if you need the arm fully extended upward
- Directly exposed to rain or water spray (damp-rated, not wet-rated)
- Large rooms requiring high ambient light output (this is an accent/task light)
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb used. The fixture accepts one medium base (E26) bulb up to 60W incandescent equivalent. With a standard 60W incandescent bulb, it produces about 800 lumens - similar to a traditional table lamp, suitable for reading or accent lighting. For a warmer glow, use a 40W bulb (450 lumens). LED bulbs are recommended for energy efficiency and longer life.
Light color and feel
The clear basket weave glass shade diffuses light softly while revealing the bulb's shape. For a warm, inviting ambiance, use a 2700K-3000K LED bulb (soft white). The shade's transparent glass allows the bulb to be visible, making a vintage ST64 bulb a stylish choice. The fixture is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulbs.
Sizing and fit
The swing arm extends 13.5 inches from the wall and the shade is 8 inches wide and 7 inches tall. The backplate measures 4.5 inches wide by 7.88 inches tall. Overall fixture height is 13.5 inches. The arm can be adjusted to point upward or downward. Ideal for walls with standard stud spacing (16 inches on center).
