Sconces are a decorative light fixture mounted to a wall, often at eye level. Sconces are great lighting options because they don’t take up any floor space (like floor lamps do) or ceiling space (like chandeliers or pendant lighting). They are usually found in hallways, bathrooms, and kitchens. These fixtures often need to be hardwired by an electrician, but there are some plug-in options available. Because they are installed at eye level and in a direct line of sight, most sconces shine light up or down or have frosted shades,

Pro-Tip: In a commercial space, you want to ensure sconces do not protrude from the wall more than 4”. This is an American Disabilities Act (ADA) standard in the U.S. and should be adhered to everywhere for practicality and accessibility purposes!
