Frequently Asked Questions

How high should wall sconces be installed?

The standard recommendation is to install the center of the sconce approximately 60 to 66 inches from the floor. However, if the ceiling is very high, you may want to mount them slightly higher. For bedside use, mount them so the light is within easy reach from the bed but not directly in your eyes.

What are the advantages of LED wall sconces over traditional wall sconces?

Choosing LED wall sconces provides you with better energy-efficiency and longer lifespan, which greatly reduce maintenance costs. LED wall sconces also offer more features like dimmability, multiple color temperatures and adjustable lumens.

What is the difference between uplighting and downlighting?

Uplighting directs light toward the ceiling, which helps expand the visual space of a room and provides indirect, mood lighting. Downlighting focuses light downward, making it ideal for tasks like reading or illuminating countertops. Many sconces provide both or diffuse light in all directions.

Can I use wall sconces as my primary light source?

While sconces are excellent for layering light, they are typically used as secondary lighting alongside ceiling fixtures. However, in smaller rooms like powder rooms or narrow hallways, a series of bright LED wall sconces can serve as the primary source of illumination.

Can I put these sconces on a dimmer?

Most hardwired sconces are dimmable if paired with a compatible dimmable bulb and wall switch. Many Integrated LED sconces are also dimmable, but you must check the specific product details to ensure compatibility with your dimmer switch type (e.g., ELV or Triac).
