Know before you buy
Yes, this fixture is compatible with E26 medium base bulbs, including LED, CFL, and incandescent options. We recommend using LED bulbs to maximize energy efficiency while maintaining the desired light output.
This fixture carries a dry location rating, meaning it is intended for indoor spaces without significant moisture. It is best suited for living rooms, hallways, bedrooms, or dining areas rather than bathrooms or damp environments.
The fixture has a low-profile design with a total height of 5.5 inches. This makes it an excellent choice for rooms with standard or lower ceiling heights where you want to maximize vertical space.
The Double French Scavo glass is designed to diffuse light, creating a soft, warm glow rather than a harsh, direct beam. While it provides ample illumination for general tasks, the effect is ambient and atmospheric rather than clinical or bright.
The fixture requires hardwiring into your ceiling junction box for a secure installation. Because of the glass components and electrical requirements, we recommend having a professional electrician handle the installation.
