Wall Sconces FAQ

• What is the best height to install Wall Sconces in a small room?
  For ambient lighting, install sconces approximately 60 to 66 inches from the floor. For task lighting, such as beside a bed or next to a mirror, position them at eye level, typically between 55 and 60 inches high.

• Can Wall Sconces provide enough light as a primary source?
  In a very small space, such as a studio apartment, a combination of two or three strategically placed, high-lumen Wall Sconces can serve as a primary ambient light source, especially when paired with a dimmer to adjust for different needs throughout the day.

• Are Wall Sconces difficult to install?
  Installation complexity varies. Plug-in models are very simple, requiring only a nearby outlet. Hardwired models, which offer a cleaner look, need to be connected to your home's electrical system by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local codes.

It's clear that Wall Sconces are a versatile and intelligent lighting solution for enhancing small spaces. They offer a unique blend of style, functionality, and space efficiency that floor and table lamps simply cannot match.
