2-Light Brushed Nickel Dual Mount Wall Sconce with Fabric Shade

After an exhaustive search for the ideal plug in sconces for our daughter's bedroom remodel, I found these on display at my local Home Depot. I was sold on the subdued cast of light; a warm glow that was bright enough to read by, but not harsh on the eyes. The rocker switch on the bottom lip of the plate was also perfect for above their headboards. LOVE the matching cord cover. It adds to the clean lines of the fixture. The install was easy...we just had to take special care in making them level; with the squared shade, if they are slightly off it is noticeable, especially with two mirroring each other. Because one daughter reads later at night, and the other wants to sleep without any excess light, we installed room darkening curtains on a wire U track (from a certain Swedish warehouse store) between their beds, as this also gives them a little privacy. As bedside sconces, these are ideal. I hate wasting space on the nightstand with lamps. We use LED candelabra bulbs, so the lights put off zero heat. I am so pleased with them that we are going to buy two additional fixtures for our master bedroom.

This is a lovely sconce that fit perfectly on a wall in our dining area. You have the option of hardwiring or plugging the sconce into a wall outlet. I kept it as a plug-in, but love the idea of being able to change in the future. Installation is very easy- just screw together the cord covers and attach the shade. I had to use an additional white cord cover on the remainder of the plug. What I didn’t realize was that this sconce does not use standard base bulbs- it uses the smaller candelabra base bulbs. Unfortunately, I have to purchase the correct bulbs before I can use the light, so I can’t say anything about the quality of the light. Other than not having the correct bulbs, I am very happy with the sconce.

This Hampton Bay sconce is of high-quality construction, and it has some very innovative and unusual features. The finish is a beautiful brushed copper, accented by a perfectly chosen fabric shade that sits flush to the wall. The shade is a soft translucent gray fabric with a handsome, finely textured finish that transmits a surprising amount of filtered light that is pleasing to the eye out into the room, while casting just the hint of soft shadows to each side that look amazing on the wall. I cannot do it justice with words, so I have included pictures. The lamp is designed to allow mounting it either fixed to the wall against an existing electrical box, with a specially designed adapter plate included, or as a wall hanging, for which the back plate has two keyholes side by side to mate solidly with standard wall hangers, such as are used for pictures and artwork, or for a more solid and childproof mounting, any of a variety of available higher weight bearing drywall screws that will not pull out, damaging the wall, and can be adjusted so the screws extend out just far enough to insert them tightly onto the lamp back plate for a secure fit. If you are mounting it this way, they have included a four section nicely finished metal tube to enclose and protect the electric cord that extends down to reach a standard wall outlet. There is even a small and hardly noticeable plastic bracket to secure the bottom of the wire tube to the wall for a security. Many wall sconces designed only for use with power cord, still provide an unattractive and large in-line rotary switch, reminiscent of what was standard years ago. This lamp has an integrated and unobtrusive small rocker switch located out of sight on the bottom surface of the lamp base. This lamp has two bulb sockets, which accept only the much smaller, B11 base bulbs, which when LED type bulbs are selected, are very energy efficient, cool running, and far exceed the rated service life of incandescent bulbs. I have included a photo comparing one of these bulbs to a standard and much larger 60-watt incandescent bulb. These bulbs are now available everywhere, even most grocery stores. Home Depot has a big selection of styles, priced right, from antique flicker styles that resemble turn of the century gas lights, great if yours will be an accent piece, to progressively brighter bulb styles in light shades from soft and warm to paper white. I had a dark corner of the living room to treat, so I selected two of the B11 sixty-watt equivalent paper white LED bulbs from Home Depot for it, that produce enough light to read a book by, yet they draw only an amazing five- and one-half watts each. I love the attractive modern look of this fixture, and it is in keeping with my one fixture at a time conversion of my house to just LED lighting, that is already cutting my energy consumption and monthly electric bill.

Mounted it on the wall, behind my easy chair. Makes a perfect reading light. Very satisfied with the looks and quality of this light.

Easy to instal and looks great. It feels cheap but looks expensive. Would buy again if I need another one

Very nice look. Compact design. The look lovely in my room.

I absolutely love this lamp! I bought it for my living room and I am honestly considering buying one for all of my bedrooms, as well! Love the brightness! Great quality and great price.
