Best for
- Bathrooms with a 36-48 in vanity, mounted as side lighting beside the mirror
- Hallways and entryways, spaced 6-8 ft apart for ambient accent lighting
- Covered patios or porches, thanks to its damp location rating
- Bedrooms as a reading sconce mounted 60 in above the floor
Not ideal for
- Directly exposed outdoor areas without overhead cover - damp rated, not wet rated
- Spaces where you need a primary light source - this is an accent fixture
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. The fixture accepts one medium-base (E26) bulb up to 60W equivalent (not included). For a warm ambient glow, use a 40W equivalent LED (about 450 lumens); for more light, a 60W equivalent (about 800 lumens) works well.
Light color and feel
The white Venetian glass shade diffuses light softly, reducing glare. Pair with a 2700K-3000K LED bulb for a warm, inviting glow that flatters skin tones and complements the polished nickel finish.
