Know before you buy
Yes, the Nox Sconce is rated for damp locations, making it suitable for bathrooms or covered outdoor areas. It is designed to withstand moisture, though it should not be placed in areas with direct water exposure.
The fixture features a 180-degree swivel arm, allowing you to pivot the light horizontally to direct illumination exactly where you need it. Additionally, the shade offers slight vertical maneuverability for further adjustment.
The Nox Sconce is designed for a hardwired installation. This provides a clean, seamless look on your wall without any visible cords.
This fixture uses a single Type A E26 bulb with a maximum wattage of 60 watts. Please note that the fixture is not dimmable, so a standard non-dimmable bulb is recommended.
At its full extension, the Nox Sconce reaches 30 inches from the wall. Given its 31-inch width, ensure you have adequate clearance in your chosen space for the arm to swing freely.
The white interior finish is functional rather than just decorative. It is specifically designed to maximize light reflection, ensuring a brighter, more efficient output from the single bulb.
