Know before you buy
The fixture is UL Listed for standard indoor use, but it can be ordered as Damp Rated upon request if you plan to install it in a bathroom or other moisture-prone area.
The included 6W LED bulb provides 540 lumens of warm, 2700K light. While it is excellent for creating a soft, ambient glow, you may want additional task lighting if you intend to use it specifically for reading.
The sconce includes a pull chain by default, but you can request to have it removed during the ordering process for a more streamlined, minimalist look.
The shade is made of natural linen, which should be kept dry and free of dust. We recommend using a soft, dry cloth or a gentle vacuum attachment to clean the surface periodically.
Yes, the fixture uses a standard E26 base. You can replace the included bulb with any E26 bulb, provided it does not exceed the 60W maximum incandescent wattage rating.
Yes, the included 6W LED bulb is dimmable. Ensure you are using a compatible LED-rated dimmer switch to achieve the desired light levels.
