Frequently Asked Questions

What types of wall lights are available, and how do I choose the right one?

Wall lights come in various types, including sconces, swing arm lights, picture lights, and uplights/downlights. Choose the right type based on the function you need—ambient lighting, task lighting, or accent lighting—and the style that complements your room’s decor.

Can wall lights be used as the main source of light in a room?

While wall lights are great for adding ambiance and accent lighting, they are usually best used in combination with other lighting sources like ceiling lights or floor lamps. In smaller spaces, a pair of wall lights might be sufficient as the primary light source.

What should I consider when choosing the finish of my wall lights?

The finish of your wall lights should complement the other hardware and decor in the room. Common finishes include brushed nickel, matte black, antique brass, and chrome. Consider the overall style of your space—whether it’s modern, traditional, or industrial—when selecting a finish.

Are there wall lights designed specifically for bathrooms?

Yes, there are wall lights designed specifically for bathrooms, often referred to as vanity lights. These lights are moisture-resistant and provide adequate lighting for grooming tasks. They are typically installed above or beside mirrors.

How do I install wall lights?

Installing wall lights typically involves mounting the fixture to the wall and connecting it to the electrical wiring. If you are not experienced with electrical work, it’s advisable to hire a professional electrician to ensure safe installation.

How high should wall lights be mounted on the wall?

Wall lights should generally be mounted at eye level, which is about 60 to 66 inches from the floor. However, the ideal height may vary depending on the specific design of the light fixture and the height of the ceiling.

Are wall lights suitable for small spaces?

Yes, wall lights are an excellent choice for small spaces as they do not take up floor or table space. They can be used to brighten up areas like narrow hallways, small bedrooms, or cozy reading nooks without cluttering the room.

Can wall lights be dimmed?

Many wall lights can be fitted with dimmable bulbs, allowing you to adjust the brightness to suit your mood or the time of day. Just make sure the fixture is compatible with a dimmer switch and choose the appropriate dimmable bulbs.

What kind of bulbs should I use in wall lights?

The type of bulb you choose depends on the fixture and your lighting needs. LED bulbs are popular for their energy efficiency and long lifespan. They also come in various color temperatures, allowing you to choose between warm, cool, or daylight lighting.

Can wall lights be used outdoors?

Yes, there are wall lights specifically designed for outdoor use. These fixtures are made from materials that can withstand weather elements and usually have higher IP ratings to protect against moisture and dust. They’re perfect for illuminating entryways, patios, or garden areas.

Guide to Buying Wall Lights

Wall lights are much more than simply light fixtures. They can work as statement pieces that decorate your walls instead of art. This is why, when choosing your next wall lights, it is important to keep in mind the following:

  • What is the main purpose of the wall light
    • Is it intended for ambient, task, or accent lighting?
    • Will it be used to highlight a particular feature in the room?
  • Where exactly will it be placed
    • Does the positioning affect the style of the wall light?
    • Will it draw too much attention away from the rest of your decor?
  • How does it complement the rest of the lighting fixtures
    • Does the style of the wall light align with the overall theme of your other fixtures?
    • Do color temperature and brightness help maintain a cohesive lighting scheme?

Our wall sconce lights can create more drama in your space, as each is uniquely crafted to serve a specific purpose. Answer the questions above to lay the foundation for your purchase.

Hardwired vs plug-in sconces

Hardwired sconces look more elegant and sturdy but they are harder to install.

Consider hardwired sconces if you are renovating your space or are building it from scratch. As they are connected to your main power supply, they are usually easier to switch on and off with more versatility regarding dimming options.

Plug-in wall lights on the other hand are very easy to install and reposition but might be less aesthetically pleasing.

Consider plug-in wall sconces if you are renting or like to change your decor a lot.

Also, use a cord cover to hide those unsightly cords. Choose the same color cord cover as the wall for extra camouflage!

Wall lights for bedroom

Wall lights for the bedroom are typically softer, more playful, and can act both as task lighting (e.g., to read a book) and as focal points.

For wall lights in the bedroom, consider swing-arm sconces for practicality, as these can be adjusted to exactly the spot you want them. It makes performing tasks in the bedroom so much easier!

Also, choose a low color temperature, which helps with sleep, and install dimmers so that you can control the brightness during the day and night.

Wall lights for living room

Wall lights for the living room act more as accent lights because the main ambient light is usually provided by a chandelier or recessed can lights. For task lighting, floor lights and table lights are preferred.

Consider using sharp LED wall lights in neutral color temperatures and always use the same type of sconce - do not mix and match as it can end up looking tacky!

Wall lights for kitchen

Wall sconces in the kitchen can look great next to a window or over the kitchen sink.

Allow some space around the sconce to not make the area feel too cramped.

Also, consider using clear or frosted glass shades as they provide plenty of light and are easy to clean. Frosted glass diffuses light which reduces glare and creates a softer atmosphere.

Metal shades can direct light downward or upward, depending on the design, making them ideal for task lighting or highlighting specific areas.

Avoid fabric shades in the kitchen as they are harder to clean.

Wall lights for bathroom

Wall lights in the bathroom should generally only be used in the vanity area.

Go for a neutral color temperature (2800-3500 K) to achieve good color accuracy without making the bathroom feel too sterile.

If you place wall sconces on each side of the mirror, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) from the mirror for the electrical components and to achieve balanced lighting on your face.

Outdoor wall lights

Our modern outdoor wall lights can accentuate the architectural features of your patio or outdoor walls while providing ample light for good visibility at night.

For outdoor wall sconces, consider weather-resistant sconces made from durable materials. You can find information about durability under each of our products.

Our outdoor wall sconces are specifically designed to withstand a range of temperatures and natural events without taking away from their design and style.

Lamp shades

Lamp shades truly have the potential to transform your wall sconces into something more interesting and powerful. And they are a budget-friendly option to do so!

  • Choose materials that are easy to clean and maintain, especially in high-traffic areas.
  • The shape of the shade affects the direction and quality of the light. Consider where you want to have the light pointing (upwards, downwards, 360).
  • The color of the shade can affect the ambiance of the room. Choose a color that fits your overall architecture.
  • Opt for shades that can be easily swapped out to update the look of your space without needing to replace the entire fixture.
  • Ensure that the shade is not too big or too small for your bulb.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I determine the right size for a wall light?

  • Consider the scale of the room and the specific area where the light will be placed. The height of the wall light should be at max equal to 1/4 of the ceiling height. Unless of course, you specifically choose long sconces designed to cover most of the wall.

2. Can wall lights be used as the main light source in a room?

  • In general, no. Wall lights are typically not sufficient as the main light source, except for maybe smaller rooms like the bathroom. Combine them with other lighting types, such as ceiling lights or floor lights, for balanced lighting. It is always best to use three layers of light: ambient, task, and accent.

3. What are the best wall lights for reading?

  • For reading, consider adjustable swing-arm sconces or wall lights with a focused beam. Look for lights that offer flexibility in directing light and have a warm color temperature to reduce eye strain.

4. How do I install a hardwired wall light?

  • Installing a hardwired wall light typically requires some electrical work. We recommend you hire a professional electrician to ensure safety and proper installation, especially if you are not experienced with electrical wiring. However, some brief instructions are as follows:
    • Turn off the power at the breaker
    • Install a junction box if needed
    • Mount the light base securely
    • Connect ground, neutral, and hot wires using wire nuts
    • Test connections with a circuit tester
    • Secure the wires, attach the light, and test its functionality
    • Turn the power back on and secure the fixture completely

5. What is the difference between a sconce and a wall light?

  • Although the terms are usually used interchangeably, wall lights are all types of fixtures that can be mounted on the wall, including picture lights or wall washers. Sconces are a subcategory of wall lights that have distinct decorative elements and typically direct light either upwards or downwards.
