Help for those who are not prone to mechanical stress.

We have been raising children (boys) for 20 years and it has been great; However, this meant a lot of work and many sacrifices! That means mom and dad's bedroom upgrades are pretty low down the list! lol! We looked for wall sconces to free up space on the side table and add a dedicated ceiling fan without sacrificing light. Your prices are outrageous! From super expensive to affordable in one style! Our goal was 2 for under $100. We also have a fairly large cherry wood and wrought iron headboard so the light needed to have some range so it could be used to illuminate our separate reading areas etc without disturbing the other person. The fittings also had to look good and match our modern country house style. Our final requirement is a dimmable/three-way light. Touch lights - we are very happy to have installed them! Which, by the way, was very easy! 5 minutes each top! A small installation note for those who are not self-made. ** If you can't tell the difference between the sounds of hollow drywall and the sounds of studs behind drywall, buy a "Stud Finder" (hahahaha!) anywhere like a hardware store for $20. , and a cheap "level" at $5-$20 for a little downtime and you'll save yourself a lot of trouble, and they're useful from time to time. Especially with flat screen TVs and monitors these days. Fix the assembled lamp holder (without the lampshade) on the wall in the desired place and circle it lightly with a pencil. Then once you only have the bracket on the wall you can paint over the bracket holes that you will need to cut/drill for mounting. Then, before drilling a hole in the drywall, you can erase the outside markings of the box. After that, all you have to do is drill holes for the taps, hold the bracket in place, screw in the screws and slide the lamp onto the installed brackets. ** You can practice putting the lamp on the bracket before mounting it on the wall if you are not mechanically inclined. The included 18" white shade makes our lamps too bright for our bedroom, so we use a 400 lumen lamp. Next time 3 way lamp. We will also wrap them in burlap to warm up the light. *** By the way, our 3-way lamp works perfectly! with a lightbulb (firm but not overstretched) until we feel it. We can now properly mount the 3-way bulb so that it makes good contact with the bulb. *** When choosing a lightbulb the 2 most important factors to look for are lumens and whether you want heat or cold. It can be the difference between loving and hating a lightbulb!*** We definitely recommend this lightbulb! Ps We should have returned "As New" for incomplete parts and ordered another one. Double check all parts before fitting any of them. just in case! Hope that was helpful!
