Best for
- Living rooms and family rooms as accent lighting flanking a sofa or fireplace
- Hallways and entryways where a warm, decorative glow is desired
- Covered patios or porches thanks to its damp location rating
- Bedrooms as reading sconces beside the bed
- Powder rooms and bathrooms (damp rated) as vanity side lighting
Not ideal for
- Spaces with ceilings under 8 ft if you prefer a flush mount - this sconce projects 8.5 inches from the wall
- Direct rain exposure - damp rated, not wet rated

How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose (not included). With a standard 60W equivalent LED bulb, expect around 800 lumens - suitable for accent or ambient lighting. For a softer glow, use a 40W equivalent (450 lumens). The fixture accepts one medium base (E26) bulb, shape ST64 recommended.
Light color and feel
Choose your own Kelvin temperature. For a warm, cozy feel, use a 2700K-3000K bulb. The clear basket weave glass diffuses light gently, creating a textured pattern on surrounding walls. The fixture is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulb.
Sizing and fit
The sconce measures 8 inches wide, 12.25 inches high, and extends 8.5 inches from the wall. The round backplate is 4.5 inches in diameter. Mounting center to top is 2.5 inches. Weighs 3 lbs. Works well in rooms with standard 8-9 ft ceilings.
