Know before you buy
This fixture uses a single A19 bulb with an E26 base. It supports a maximum of 100 watts, allowing you to choose between incandescent, LED, or CFL bulbs depending on your preferred brightness and energy efficiency.
No, this fixture is dry-rated and should not be installed in bathrooms or areas prone to moisture. It is best suited for indoor living spaces like bedrooms, hallways, or dining areas.
The Nutmeg wall sconce is designed for hardwired installation. You will need to connect it directly to your home's electrical wiring, which typically requires a junction box in the wall.
The fixture extends 7.50 inches from the wall. This profile is ideal for hallways or narrow spaces where you want a noticeable design element without the fixture feeling overly intrusive.
The Alabaster Dust glass shade is designed to soften the light output, reducing harsh glare. It creates a warm, diffused glow that works well for ambient lighting rather than intense task lighting.
