Know before you buy
Yes. The fixture is ETL Wet Listed, meaning it is specifically engineered to withstand moisture, making it a safe and stylish choice for bathrooms, covered patios, or exterior walls.
No, the Avant Sconce features an integrated LED, which means the light source is built directly into the fixture. It is designed for a long lifespan of approximately 50,000 hours, so you will not need to worry about bulb replacements.
The integrated LED emits a warm 2600K color temperature, which provides a soft, inviting glow similar to candlelight. Because the metal surface is sculpted to reflect light, the fixture creates a gentle, diffused ambiance rather than a harsh direct beam.
Yes, the fixture is dimmable. We recommend consulting with your electrician to ensure you are using a compatible LED-rated dimmer switch to achieve the desired light levels.
Because each piece is handcrafted, you may notice slight variations in the metal finish or form. These subtle differences are intentional and contribute to the unique, artisanal character of the design.
The Avant Sconce requires hardwiring directly into your home's electrical system. Due to the complexity of the installation and the need for proper mounting, professional installation is required.
