Know before you buy
The fixture has a total depth of 10 inches, which includes the reach of the swing arm and the shade. This compact profile makes it ideal for bedside reading or task lighting in tighter spaces.
Yes, the fixture is compatible with LED bulbs as long as they do not exceed the 60W maximum wattage rating. Using an LED bulb is a great way to achieve the same soft glow while consuming less energy.
The Hillsdale Swing Arm Wall Sconce is designed for hardwired installation. We recommend consulting a professional electrician to ensure it is mounted securely and safely to your wall.
The white linen shade can be gently dusted with a soft, dry cloth or a vacuum attachment with a brush. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners, as these can damage the fabric texture.
The Aged Brass finish is designed to maintain its appearance, but like all high-quality brass, it may develop a slight patina over many years depending on the humidity of your home. Regular dusting with a soft cloth will help keep the finish looking its best.
