Know before you buy
The fixture uses two white satin blown glass shades to diffuse light, resulting in a soft, warm ambient glow. It is designed more for mood lighting and decorative accenting rather than task-oriented illumination.
Yes, the sconce comes with two 3.5W G9 LED bulbs. Because these use a standard G9 base, they can be easily replaced when they reach the end of their lifespan.
The combination of burnished steel and brushed brass offers a sophisticated, industrial-meets-luxe aesthetic. The dark steel provides a grounded, modern look, while the brass accents add warmth that complements both contemporary and transitional decor.
The Planeta wall sconce is designed for dry indoor environments. It is best suited for living rooms, hallways, or bedrooms, as it does not carry an IP rating for moisture or steam protection.
The dimmability of this fixture depends on the wall switch and the specific LED bulbs installed. While the included bulbs are energy-efficient, you should ensure your wall dimmer is compatible with G9 LED technology to achieve smooth light control.
