An 8-inch wall sconce from the Athens collection, finished in polished chrome with a mercury glass shade, ideal for damp-rated locations like bathrooms or covered patios.
The Athens sconce combines industrial styling with a polished chrome finish and a mercury glass globe shade. Its adjustable arm and medium size make it versatile for accent lighting in various spaces. The fixture is constructed from steel, cast brass, and glass for durability.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a 30-48 inch vanity, mounted as side lighting beside the mirror
- Hallways and corridors needing a warm accent light every 6-8 feet
- Covered patios or entryways rated for damp locations
- Bedrooms as reading sconces on either side of the bed
Not ideal for
- Spaces under 8 ft ceilings if you need the sconce at eye level with a 14-inch extension
- Direct outdoor exposure without overhead cover (damp-rated, not wet-rated)
How bright is it?
Lumen output depends on the bulb used. With a recommended 60W equivalent LED bulb, expect around 800 lumens - bright enough for task lighting or ambient accent. Not intended as a primary room light.
Light color and feel
Use a 2700K-3000K warm white bulb for a cozy, incandescent-like glow. The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, reducing glare and creating a vintage ambiance. Dimmable with compatible dimmer and dimmable bulb.
Sizing and fit
Overall dimensions: 8 inches wide, 14 inches high, with a 14.12-inch extension from the wall. Backplate is 4.5 x 7.88 inches. Suitable for walls with standard stud spacing.
