A polished nickel wall sconce with a matte white glass globe, designed for damp-rated bathrooms, bedrooms, and hallways.
The Athens sconce from Innovations Lighting combines industrial and transitional styling with a polished nickel finish and a cased matte white glass shade. Its compact 8-inch width and 8.5-inch extension make it ideal for tight spaces, while the damp-location rating allows installation in bathrooms and covered outdoor areas. The fixture uses a single medium-base vintage bulb (not included) for a warm, ambient glow.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a single or double vanity, mounted as side lighting beside the mirror
- Bedrooms as a reading sconce beside the bed, mounted 60-66 inches above the floor
- Hallways and corridors where a compact, damp-rated fixture is needed
- Covered patios or entryways protected from direct rain
Not ideal for
- Spaces requiring bright task lighting - this sconce provides ambient accent light, not primary illumination
- Ceilings under 7 feet if you prefer a flush mount - the 8.5-inch extension may protrude into walkways
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. With a standard 60W equivalent LED bulb (800 lumens), it provides comfortable ambient light for a bathroom or hallway. For a softer glow, use a 40W equivalent (450 lumens).
Light color and feel
The matte white glass shade diffuses light evenly, reducing glare and creating a soft, warm ambiance. Pair with a 2700K-3000K LED bulb for a cozy, incandescent-like feel.
Sizing and fit
The sconce measures 8 inches wide, 8.5 inches deep (extension from wall), and 11.75 inches high. The backplate is 4.5 inches wide by 6.25 inches high. It fits well in rooms with standard 8-foot ceilings and can be mounted with the center of the fixture 60-66 inches above the floor.
