What Is A Wall Sconce?


A wall sconce is a type of lighting fixture that is designed to be mounted on a wall. It consists of a decorative bracket or plate that is affixed to the wall, and a light source that is attached to or supported by the bracket. Wall sconces are often used to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in a room.


How Do I Choose A Wall Sconce


Choosing the right wall sconce for your space can enhance the overall ambiance and functionality of your lighting. Here are some things to consider when selecting a wall sconce:


1) Purpose: Consider the purpose of the wall sconce. Is it for ambient lighting, accent lighting, or task lighting? This will help you determine the type of fixture and the placement on the wall.


2) Style: Choose a wall sconce style that complements the overall design aesthetic of your space. Whether your space is traditional, modern, or contemporary, there are many styles to choose from. Consider the shape, color, and materials of the sconce when making your selection.


3) Size: The size of your wall sconce should be proportional to the size of the wall it will be installed on. A general rule of thumb is to choose a fixture that is approximately one-third the size of the space it will be illuminating.


4) Placement: Consider the placement of the wall sconce. Will it be used to highlight artwork or architectural features, or will it be used to provide ambient lighting? Make sure to install the sconce at the appropriate height for its intended use.


5) Lighting: Consider the type of lighting you want from your wall sconce. Do you want bright, functional lighting or a softer, more ambient glow? Consider the number of bulbs and their wattage when making your selection.


6) Dimming: Consider whether you want the option to dim the wall sconce. This can add flexibility to your lighting scheme and help create different moods in the room.


7) Installation: Finally, consider the installation requirements of the wall sconce. Will it require special wiring or support to hang securely on the wall? Will it be easy to clean and maintain? Make sure you understand the installation process before making your final selection.


By considering these factors, you can choose a wall sconce that not only looks beautiful but also functions well in your space.

Turn off the power: Before you start the installation process, turn off the power to the electrical box where you will be installing the sconce. You can do this by flipping the circuit breaker or removing the fuse.


Mark the placement: Hold the sconce against the wall and mark the placement of the mounting bracket with a pencil. Use a level to make sure the placement is straight.


Mount the bracket: Use a drill to attach the mounting bracket to the wall with screws. Make sure the bracket is level and secure.


Connect the wires: Connect the wires from the electrical box to the wires on the back of the sconce according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Use wire nuts to secure the connections and wrap with electrical tape.


Attach the sconce: Attach the sconce to the mounting bracket using the screws provided with the sconce.
