What Is a Wall Sconce?
A wall sconce is a lighting fixture mounted directly to a wall, providing ambient or task light without occupying floor or table space. Hardwired models like the Bothy connect to your home's electrical system and typically require professional installation, while wet-location ratings allow safe outdoor use in covered areas exposed to moisture.
What You Get With the Currey & Co Bothy Outdoor Wall Sconce
- Cast Concrete Shade -- subtle pebbling creates modern farmhouse texture and the polished edges deliver a refined finish after casting.
- Wet-Location Certification -- tested for safe use on patios, loggias, and covered porches where moisture is present.
- Milk-Glass Globe -- frosted white glass diffuses light evenly and creates a warm glow against the natural concrete interior.
- Black Powder-Coated Hardware -- metal components resist corrosion and provide a clean contrast to the organic concrete shade.
- Candelabra Base Socket -- E12 socket accommodates a wide range of candelabra bulbs for customizable brightness and color temperature.
- Direct Wall Mount -- secure hardwired installation with 1 ft. cord for streamlined connection to junction boxes.
Where Can You Install the Bothy Wall Sconce?
Flank your front door with a pair to create a welcoming entryway, or install along a covered porch to light pathways after dark. The black wall sconce for living room applications works beautifully on interior accent walls, and its wet-location rating makes it ideal for outdoor lighting fixtures in protected areas. Pair with modern wall sconces indoors for a cohesive design language throughout your home.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How high to hang a wall sconce?
- Install outdoor sconces 66-72 inches from the floor to center the light at eye level, adjusting slightly if mounting beside a doorway or architectural feature.
- Do wall sconces have to be hardwired?
- The Bothy is a hardwired wall sconce requiring connection to a junction box and typically professional installation, though plug-in models exist for different applications.
- How far apart should wall sconces be on a mirror?
- Space sconces 36-40 inches apart on either side of a bathroom mirror for balanced task lighting, though outdoor sconces follow different spacing rules based on architectural scale.
- What height for bedroom wall sconces?
- Bedroom sconces typically mount 60-66 inches from the floor for reading light, but the Bothy is designed for outdoor use where height depends on door and ceiling placement.
- Is the Bothy sconce suitable for fully exposed outdoor locations?
- Wet-location certification allows use on covered patios and porches exposed to rain, but the fixture should not be installed in fully uncovered areas with direct weather exposure.
