Know before you buy
Yes, this fixture requires hardwire installation. We recommend hiring a licensed electrician to ensure the sconce is safely and correctly mounted to your wall junction box.
The Monolith is dry-rated, meaning it is intended for indoor spaces without significant moisture. It is suitable for a powder room, but should not be installed in a bathroom with a shower or tub where it would be exposed to steam or water.
The sconce uses a single E12 candelabra base bulb. You can use an incandescent bulb up to 60 watts or an equivalent LED bulb, which is often preferred for better energy efficiency and longevity.
This fixture is designed as a downlight, meaning the light is directed downward from the shade. This makes it particularly effective for task lighting, such as reading by the bedside, or for highlighting artwork mounted below the sconce.
Yes, the Monolith is crafted from high-quality metal and finished to withstand standard indoor conditions. Whether you choose the Oil Rubbed Bronze or Brass finish, the material is durable and designed to maintain its aesthetic appeal over time.
