What Is a Hardwired Wall Sconce?
A hardwired wall sconce is a lighting fixture that connects directly to your home's electrical wiring inside the wall, providing a permanent, code-compliant installation. Unlike plug-in models, hardwired sconces eliminate visible cords and offer a cleaner aesthetic, making them ideal for hallways, vanities, and living rooms where architectural lighting is desired.
