What Is a Hardwired Wall Sconce?
A hardwired wall sconce connects directly to your home's electrical system through in-wall wiring, eliminating visible cords and providing a clean, integrated appearance. Unlike plug-in models, hardwired sconces require professional installation but offer permanent, code-compliant lighting for hallways, living rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms.
What You Get With the SUNPAN Aphelion Sconce
- Dual-Tone Twist Design -- the iron frame features a sculptural twist that reveals both matte black and brushed gold finishes when light plays across the surface.
- Two-Bulb Illumination -- accommodates two E12 candelabra-base bulbs up to 40 watts each, compatible with both LED and traditional incandescent sources for flexible brightness control.
- Durable Iron Construction -- engineered from solid iron with a matte finish that resists fingerprints and simplifies maintenance while ensuring long-term structural integrity.
- Professional Hardwired Installation -- 120-volt power connection integrates cleanly into your wall, c-UL-us certified for safety compliance in dry locations.
- Hallway-Perfect Scale -- at 20 inches tall and 7.25 inches wide, the proportions work equally well flanking mirrors, illuminating corridors, or anchoring bedroom reading zones.
Where Should You Install a Black Wall Sconce for Living Room Impact?
