ALL YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
What is the difference between articulating, fixed, and globe wall sconces?
What is the difference between articulating, fixed, and globe wall sconces?
Articulating sconces have an adjustable arm — best for bedside reading, desk task lighting, and any spot where you want to direct the light. Fixed sconces have a rigid arm — best for hallway, stairway, and ambient room lighting where the light spread stays constant. Globe sconces (single, double, triple) project diffused ambient light through a glass orb — most decorative, best for entryways and dining rooms.
Where should I install wall sconces? At what height?
Where should I install wall sconces? At what height?
Standard sconce height is 60-72 inches from the floor (eye level for standing). For bedside reading sconces, install 36-40 inches above the mattress top, 12-18 inches off-center from the bed. In hallways, install 6-8 feet apart at 66-72 inches high. Bathroom vanity sconces install 60-65 inches high, mounted on either side of the mirror (more flattering than overhead lighting).
Can wall sconces go in a bathroom?
Can wall sconces go in a bathroom?
Bathroom-rated sconces only. The Nodes Modern Vanity Sconce in this collection is rated for bathroom use; sconces designated only for "indoor dry" use should not be installed in bathrooms with humidity. Damp-rated sconces work near showers and tubs; wet-rated sconces handle direct splash. Each product page lists the moisture rating — check before specifying.
Are these fixtures hardwired? Do I need an electrician?
Are these fixtures hardwired? Do I need an electrician?
Most permanent lighting fixtures (chandeliers, pendants, flush mounts, wall sconces, ceiling fans) are hardwired and require an electrician for safe installation — they connect to your home electrical wiring and need a grounded junction box. Plug-in lamps and rechargeable portable lamps require no installation. Each product page lists whether the fixture is hardwired or plug-in.
What kind of bulbs do these fixtures use?
What kind of bulbs do these fixtures use?
Most Quince fixtures use standard medium-base (E26) sockets that accept incandescent, LED, or halogen bulbs in the wattage listed on the product page. Some pendant and chandelier fixtures use candelabra-base (E12) bulbs. A few designs have integrated LED panels that do not require separate bulbs — these are noted on each product page. Quince does not include bulbs in the box; check the specs before ordering.
How do I dim wall sconces?
How do I dim wall sconces?
Most Quince wall sconces with standard sockets are dimmable when paired with a dimmer-rated bulb and a compatible wall dimmer switch. Articulating reading sconces particularly benefit from dimming for late-night use. Confirm the bulb dimmer protocol and the wall switch compatibility before installation — LED dimming sometimes requires a TRIAC-specific dimmer rather than a standard incandescent dimmer.
