We put this in an office bathroom as part of a dramatic little makeover and it's really beautiful. I put the wire in so it will plug in, and the dimmer works great. The scale of the piece is nice and it's subtle enough to work well with the decorative mirror but also is interesting enough on its own. I recommend.

We purchased two and mounted on the wall (corded, not hardwired) and had a bit of trouble lining up the holes in the gold cover plate with holes on the wall mount. Doesn't seem like they were machined very precisely. However, we managed to get them up and they look great. I have concerns about replacing the lightbulb when it burns out. I've never seen a bulb like this, and didn't expect it to be so unusual, but maybe I didn't read the description closely enough.

I very much like the aesthetic of this fixture, and the dimmer feature. I went with the plug-in option, and found it easy enough to complete the wiring despite being inexperienced. One of the fixtures didnt work but customer service was very quick to process the return and reship. I wish the time of the light was slightly warmer, but Im just going to buy a gel to wrap around the LED bulb within the glass globe. Ive already received a few compliments on the look of the sconce, so Im happy despite these few minor points!

I am really thrilled with the workmanship of this light--it looks and feels high quality, and came with very clear mounting instructions. (It's been challenging to make it fully flush with our wall, but our wall is very old plaster and tricky to mount on so that's par for the course). The dimmer switch provides excellent control of the full range of light. This is almost perfect for what I needed--a wall-mountable, not-hard wired reading light for a dark spot by the couch, with a slightly MCM feel to match the rest of our living room.
The ONLY drawback is the cord. I assume that most people looking at a mounted (vs. clamp-on) plug-in sconce are, like me, using it as an alternative to a traditional wired light to avoid sometimes expensive and messy electric work to rewire a room. I was prepared for a cord--obviously--but the dimmer switch, which is quite large, cannot be moved up or down on the cord. This makes a big lump on the cord about a foot down from the light. I cannot cover this with a cord cover, or in any way make it inconspicuous. It's kind of an eyesore--though we're getting used to it, as you do--that does detract from a really gorgeously designed piece. The customer support team has said they would look into possible cover solutions for me when I struck out finding anything on my own. I have an electrically-savvy relative who might be able to rewire the switch lower down on the cord so that I could stick the dimmer switch behind the arm of the couch and paint or use a standard cover on the rest of the cord to make it blend in, but clearly that's a pretty extreme solution.

Anyway, I still highly recommend this light, just be prepared for the cord situation. A photo of that on the website would have been helpful.
FAQ
- Can a smart light bulb be used with this fixture?
- Is this item in stock? What is the current lead time? How soon can I expect to receive it with standard shipping? Thanks!Yes, this item is currently in stock and ready to ship! Generally, most orders process and ship out within 48 hours (Mondays - Fridays only). You can choose your shipping options when you check out. For more information, see our Shipping FAQ.
- Does the dimmer switch function also as an on/off? So when I dim it fully down, does that turn it off?
- Do you need a special bulb to make this sconce dimmable or can you use the one it comes with?You can use the bulb that comes with the fixture. It's dimmable, you can check the list of compatible dimmers here.
- Can this fixture be hung the other way (upside-down)?
- How do you switch it to a regular incandescent light bulb?The Powell LED wall sconce uses bulbs with a G9 socket. These kinds of bulbs don't come as incandescent lights and that's for a good reason. Incandescent bulbs are very old technology and are really inefficient. The bulb that comes with this sconce should last for years without ever needing to change it. If you want to swap out the bulb for something brighter or a different color- send us an email and we'll tell you the best way to get the effect you want with an LED or Halogen G9 bulb. Email us at cs@lights.com any time!
- How do you change the bulb? We have one and have no idea how to do it. thanks!You'll want two people to do this together- that way you won't accidentally drop and break the glass. One holds on to the glass and the other does the maneuvering. First, you unscrew the decorative nut that sits on the top of the hood. Then wrap your hands around the glass with your fingers on the hood- you're going to use your fingers to push UP. If you find that hood and glass are sticking it's probably just suction that is created when you put a snug piece of metal on top of the glass bowl- use a thin piece of plastic like a credit card to slip in between the two and break the seal. Check the manual on the product specifications tab to see illustrations of how the glass was installed- it'll help give you an idea of how everything is put together.
- Can I purchase an additional white cord for this either on this website or a standard cord?
- Could an on/off switch be added to this light when it is used as a plug in? I want to mount them on both sides of a bed but the only plug is behind the bed. Thanks.When using the plug-in application you'll turn the light on by a dimmer switch near the top of the cord so you don't need to make any modification to the fixture and still easily plug it in behind your bed. An electrician can add an on/off switch to the light but we would recommend caution and get a good electrician to do it. Making that modification will void the warranty.
- I'm looking for a plug-in sconce for a very small bedroom - does this fixture provide sufficient light for reading in bed? Also, can standard LED bulbs be used and can the equivalent of a 60Watt bulb be used? Thanks.
- How long is the cord?
- I love this piece and would love it for my covered front porch. It would not get direct rain. Would it work?
- Hello, this is such a dumb question but how do we change the light bulb? We can't seem to undo the white half of the globe. This question is for the Powell wall sconce. ThanksWe always recommend two people to remove the globes. To remove the glass globe; you must unscrew the decorative nut above the metal shade. The globe should then become loose make sure someone else is holding the globe. If you have the manual; you would be following the steps in reverse from steps 7-8.
- How far does this lamp extend from the wall?
- Is there any way to select a different cord color for the plug-in option? I would think most people wouldn't want a black cord against white walls.
- Can this be used outdoors?
- When hardwired into the wall, is there an on/off switch on the fixture or is a light switch on the wall required to operate?
- Hello! We are considering this light to install in multiple bathrooms. Is it rated for damp spaces, such as a bathroom? Thank you!
- How do I order this with the plug in option?
- Does this light have a switch to turn on/off if used without cord?
