Know before you buy
Yes, this fixture is hardwired and requires a direct electrical connection. We recommend hiring a licensed electrician to ensure it is installed safely and correctly.
No, the Chester Wall Light is not compatible with dimmer switches. It is designed for standard on-off operation.
It uses a single E26 base bulb with a maximum wattage of 40W. You can choose an LED or incandescent bulb that fits this base type.
The Chester Wall Light has a maximum extension of 9.8 inches from the wall, making it a great choice for bedside reading or task lighting.
The black braided cloth cord is a design detail that connects the shade to the base. Because the fixture is hardwired, the cord does not plug into a wall outlet.
The Chester Wall Light is UL listed for safety, but it is not rated for damp or wet locations. It is best suited for dry interior spaces like bedrooms, hallways, or living areas.
