Know before you buy
Yes, the Del Mar Wall Sconce is wet-rated, meaning it is specifically engineered to withstand direct exposure to rain, snow, and other harsh outdoor elements.
This fixture requires three E12 Candelabra base bulbs. Each socket supports a maximum of 40 watts, and please note that bulbs are not included with your purchase.
The clear textured water glass creates a soft, rippled diffusion effect. While it provides ample illumination, the texture helps reduce harsh glare and casts a warm, decorative glow against your exterior walls.
This fixture is designed for hardwired installation. If you are not experienced with electrical wiring, we recommend hiring a licensed electrician to ensure the fixture is mounted securely and safely.
The backplate measures 9.75 inches in height by 6 inches in width. Ensure your mounting surface can accommodate these dimensions before installation.
The Blacksmith finish is a durable, dark matte tone designed for longevity. While it is built for outdoor use, we recommend regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth to maintain the finish's appearance over time.
