Know before you buy
This fixture uses a single E26 medium base bulb with a maximum wattage of 60W. You can use standard incandescent, LED, or Edison-style bulbs depending on your preferred color temperature and aesthetic.
Yes, the gooseneck arm is designed to provide adjustable positioning, allowing you to direct the light exactly where you need it most.
The perforated rim creates a soft, ambient glow rather than a sharp task light. While it provides beautiful accent illumination, it is best suited for mood lighting or secondary light rather than primary reading light.
The Alva Arched Wall Sconce is UL certified for safety, but it is not specifically rated for damp or wet environments. We recommend installing it in dry, indoor areas such as hallways, bedrooms, or living spaces.
The sconce measures 4.25 inches wide, 4.25 inches deep, and 20.75 inches high. Its slim profile makes it an excellent choice for narrow wall spaces or flanking a mirror.
