Sconces wall lighting provide focused illumination, making them ideal for:
Reading nooks (install beside a chair or bed)
Hallways & staircases (prevent tripping hazards)
Artwork & decor (highlight paintings or shelves)

3. Mood-Enhancing Ambiance

With dimmable options and various styles (modern, rustic, industrial), sconce light let you control the atmosphere—whether you want cozy warmth or bright task lighting.

Hardwired sconces = Sleek, permanent solution
