what is a sconce light

A sconce light, also known as a wall sconce, is a decorative light fixture that is mounted to a wall. It is a versatile lighting option that can provide general room lighting and is commonly used in hallways, corridors, and as accent lighting in various rooms. Sconces can be used both indoors and outdoors, and they come in various shapes and sizes, powered by an electric light source. They can be placed in pairs or multiple units to provide balance and are often used to frame doorways or line a hallway. Sconces typically direct light upwards and outwards, rather than downwards, and can be used to add both light and interest without interfering with movement in a corridor. They are available in different types, such as up light & down light sconces, candle sconces, armed sconces, and more, offering a wide variety to choose from based on design preferences and lighting needs).
