A 6.25-inch 1-light wall sconce with a polished chrome finish and mercury glass shade, damp-rated for bathrooms and covered patios.
The Preston Bulb sconce from Innovations Lighting brings industrial-inspired design with a vintage touch. The polished chrome finish and mercury glass globe shade create a reflective, slightly antique look that suits modern-contemporary and restoration-vintage interiors. Made from steel, cast brass, and glass, this fixture is built to last with a 2-year finish and lifetime electrical warranty.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a 30-48 in vanity, mounted as a pair flanking the mirror for balanced task lighting
- Hallways and corridors, spaced 6-8 ft apart for ambient accent
- Covered patios or porches where damp-rated fixtures are required
- Entryways or mudrooms, mounted at eye level above a console table
Not ideal for
- Directly exposed outdoor areas without overhead cover - this fixture is damp-rated, not wet-rated
- Spaces where you need bright task lighting for reading or detailed work - this is an accent sconce
- Small powder rooms under 4 ft wide if you prefer a flush mount to save wall space
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you choose. With a recommended 60W equivalent ST64 vintage bulb (not included), expect around 800 lumens - similar to a traditional 60W incandescent, suitable for ambient or accent lighting. For a softer glow, use a 40W equivalent bulb (about 450 lumens).
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light with a soft, slightly reflective glow. Pair with a 2700K-3000K warm white bulb for a cozy, incandescent-like ambiance that flatters skin tones and warm finishes like chrome and brass. The fixture is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulbs.
Sizing and fit
The sconce extends 7.62 inches from the wall and measures 6.25 inches wide by 13 inches high. The round backplate is 4.5 inches in diameter. Ideal for walls with standard 8-9 ft ceilings; mount 60-66 inches above the floor for optimal eye-level placement.
