What is a wall sconce?
A wall sconce is a lighting fixture mounted to a vertical surface, providing ambient or task illumination without occupying floor or table space. Wall sconces can be hardwired for permanent installation or plug-in for flexible placement, making them a versatile solution for hallways, bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas.
