Know before you buy
The sconce is designed to emit a soft, diffused ambient glow. Because of its polyethylene construction, it creates a warm, even light that is ideal for setting a relaxing mood rather than providing task-specific illumination.
No, the Havana Wall Sconce is dry-rated only. It should be installed in interior spaces away from moisture, such as living rooms, hallways, or bedrooms.
No, the bulb is not included. It requires one E26 type A bulb with a maximum of 100W.
The fixture itself is not dimmable. We recommend checking with a licensed electrician to see if your specific home wiring setup can support dimming functionality with the bulb type you choose.
The Havana is a statement piece measuring 55 inches in height. Ensure you have sufficient vertical wall space to accommodate its scale, as it is designed to act as a functional sculpture.
This is a hardwired fixture. It is designed to be mounted directly to a junction box in your wall, providing a clean, seamless look without visible cords.
