How bright is it?
Lumen output depends on the bulb used (not included). With a recommended 60W equivalent ST64 vintage bulb, expect around 800 lumens - similar to a standard 60W incandescent, suitable for accent or task lighting.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, creating a warm, ambient glow. For a cozy feel, use a 2700K-3000K warm white bulb. The fixture is dimmable when used with a compatible dimmer and dimmable bulbs.

Overall dimensions: 6.75 inches wide x 14 inches high, with a 7.88-inch extension from the wall. The backplate is 4.5 inches in diameter. Best for walls with standard stud spacing and ceilings at least 8 feet high.
