A damp-rated 8-inch wall sconce with a clear water glass globe and antique brass finish, ideal for bathrooms, hallways, and covered patios.
The Athens Water Glass sconce combines industrial metalwork with a classic clear glass shade. The antique brass finish on steel and cast brass gives it a vintage-inspired look, while the clear water glass globe softens the light. This fixture is part of the Athens Water Glass collection and is rated for damp locations, making it suitable for bathrooms and covered outdoor areas.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a 30-48 in vanity, mounted as a pair flanking the mirror
- Hallways and corridors needing accent lighting every 6-8 ft
- Covered patios or porches where damp-rated fixtures are required
- Powder rooms and entryways as a single statement sconce
Not ideal for
- Spaces with ceilings under 8 ft if you need the sconce mounted high
- Direct rain exposure or wet locations (rated for damp, not wet)
- Primary room lighting in spaces larger than 10x10 ft without additional fixtures
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. The fixture accepts one medium-base (E26) bulb up to 60W (not included). With a standard 60W incandescent equivalent LED, expect about 800 lumens - bright enough for task lighting at a vanity or ambient light in a hallway. For a softer glow, use a 40W equivalent (450 lumens).
Light color and feel
The clear water glass shade diffuses light gently, reducing glare while maintaining a crisp, clean look. Pair with a warm white bulb (2700K-3000K) for a cozy, inviting ambiance, or a cool white bulb (4000K) for a more modern, energizing feel. The fixture is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulbs.
Sizing and fit
The sconce measures 8 inches wide and 11.75 inches tall, with an 8.5-inch extension from the wall. The backplate is 4.5 inches wide and 6.25 inches tall, with a mounting center 3 inches from the top. It projects enough to accommodate the globe shade without feeling bulky. Ideal for walls with standard 16-in stud spacing.
