Review on LightInTheBox Modern/Contemporary Wall Sconces: 1-Light Metal Shade Wall Light with E26/E27 Bulb Base, Painting Finish, 110-120V, White Color by Eduardo Murillo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Looks nice. Not the easiest to install.

We fitted them as a cheap replacement for a (very hot) halogen bulb. These sconces look great, but installing them is trickier than it looks. The flat back of the light with no wire cutout or screw holding the lamp socket in place means you'll have to cut drywall to allow for flush wall mounting. You will need to cut a gap about 2" x 1/2" wide in the drywall from the light fixture to the electrical box in the wall to allow the wires to pass through. You will also need to drill a hole about 3/8 inch in the right place to insert the head of the screw. It's not too difficult, but of course it takes a little more time. The metal of the lamp is very thin and light. He shines well. I used a 60W soft white LED bulb. The instructions are limited. So if you don't know much about installing lights, you can look at another product or call an electrician. Get an idea of what they look like installed.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • old
