Addison 1-Light Matte Black Plug-In Wall Sconce with Antique Brass Backplate

I purchased two of these light fixtures to flank my guest bed. I liked the modern style, the plug-in option and the price. I mounted the sconces with the shade a little low with the intention of making sure my guests weren't getting the feeling of being 'interrogated' while laying in bed reading a book (or scrolling through The 'Gram). Knowing the bulbs would be somewhat exposed, I chose warm 40 watt LED opaque bulbs (the manual states a 60 watt bulb is the max), again with the intention of maintaining a pleasant mood and not that of an 'interrogation room'. I mounted them in the daylight and, once they were up, I noticed that when I tried to put the shade in at a level position (there is a hinge allowing the shade to tilt up), it still had a bit of an upward tilt when at it's lowest position. When I screwed in the light bulbs, I was disappointed with how much of the bulb was exposed. The lightbulb socket seems to point down and not straight/level. Once the evening arrived, I turned the sconces on and was even more disappointed at how much of the bulb was exposed and shining in my eyes. The bulb exposure, coupled with the slight upward tilt of the shade gives a harsh, light-in-your-eyes interrogation room feel that I was intentionally trying to avoid!!!

Very nice looking and easy to install.

Perfect addition to my boys room

The light fixture is just as I expected. This is not small. It is a good weight & quality. I have this mounted next to a bed as a reading light since a nightstand wouldn’t fit. The swivel and adjustable features makes this extremely functional.

The light turned out to be bigger than I expected but I still really like it. It’s very dramatic. Super easy to install and has a modern refined look but somehow works well in a more rustic casual space. Love the matte finish

I love what these lights add to my bedroom. Very sturdy and movable. A great purchase and well worth the dollars!

User error. I didn't look at the dimensions when I ordered two of these. They are HUGE. I planned to put these on either side of our king size bed and my kids laughed that I would look like I was getting my hair dried. I loved the look and the style but they were way too big for bedside lights. Ended up returning them.

Such a great light! We used two above bedside tables. The matte black is so chic and the look is modern but timeless.

So far so good. Using as plug in - biggest downside was the screws fo mount the actual fixture needed to be farther back set in drywall - so had to drill 2 extra holes.
