BEAUTIFUL WALL MOUNT! EXACTLY LIKE THE PICTURE!

Gorgeous wall light! Exactly like the picture! I needed a sconce to replace one that broke on my neck trying to fit the base of a broken lightbulb. I have light gray walls, a light gray carpet and a luxury gray wood effect vinyl floor. The oiled bronze decor offers the perfect contemporary color contrast with rural flair. Country Contemporary is my style. Wood, steel and stone are everywhere. The size is way bigger than I expected which is a good thing because I needed it to cover the previous round circle in the wall left by the ugly silver broken wall lamp that was there before (just in my house pulled and the previous owner didn't). have good taste). I was delighted when I took it out of the packaging. It was a bit heavy and had a very stylish but warm look. Here are the pros: 1) Looks the same as the picture. 2) Sturdy enough for safe assembly. 3) Not too heavy to prevent DIY installation. 4) Perfect for the country modern style that I love. (This is a rare house style that can backfire if you don't know what you're doing to get the look you want.) 5) Price. It looks like it will cost a lot more than $100. Here are the cons: 1) The clear glass outer case is NOT attached in any way. So if you live in an earthquake prone area, it will detach from the wall. 2) The cream colored inner glass case is NOT attached. I'm assuming it was made specifically for easy bulb replacement. Five pros and only two cons, this article was worth every penny. And I plan to order a double wall mount and two triple wall mounts to match my three bathrooms to match the style throughout the house! Great product that doesn't cost an arm or a leg! Take that Wayfair! Installation Instructions for Beginner DIYers: 1) Go to Home Depot or Lowes and buy a non-contact circuit tester. 2) Plug it into the socket on the wall in the room where you want to change the wall light. . The indicator lights should show the current voltage across the tester. It's good. That means you have electricity in the room. 3) Find the switch on the wall or in the room you are working with and turn it off! Don't try to replace a sconce with electricity on the wall! 4) Now use a non-contact circuit tester to make sure the power is off. The indicators on the tester should not light up. This means you have effectively turned off the electricity in the room. Now you can start installing the wall light. 5) Carefully unscrew and remove the old wall light, paying close attention to how the cord is connected. the same wiring method used for the old wall lamp. 7) Use any tools you need to screw or install the light. Now you can turn on the switch in the room. Test your light by flipping the light switch. DONE!
