01Overview

A spherical shade on a swivel-hinge arm with a walnut wood grip.

The Nelson Wall Sconce mounts a spherical opal shade on an articulated arm with a swivel hinge, so you can angle the light up, down, or side to side without removing the fixture from the wall. A walnut wood grip on the arm gives it a tactile point for adjusting. It plugs into a standard wall outlet — there's no wiring involved — and works well beside a bed, over a desk, or in an entryway.

07Questions

What bulb does this take and how bright is it?

It takes an E26 or E27 screw base bulb, sold separately. Brightness depends on the bulb you choose — a 40–60W equivalent gives soft ambient light, while 75W equivalent or higher works better for task lighting.

Can I dim this light?

No. It's only compatible with standard on/off switches, not dimmers.

Which size should I pick?

All four sizes mount at the same 63 cm (24.8") overall height from the wall. Size A (28 × 40 cm shade) is the tallest, slender shade. Size B (30 × 30 cm) is a balanced square proportion. Size C (30 × 28 cm) is a compact middle option. Size D (40 × 22 cm) is the widest, lowest-profile shade.

Can I adjust the shade direction after it's installed?

Yes. The swivel hinge lets you move the arm and shade up, down, and side to side without removing the fixture from the wall.

Does this need to be wired in, or does it plug in?

It plugs into a standard wall outlet with a 59" cord — no wiring or electrician needed. It's available with US, UK, AU, or EU plug configurations.
