Design House 505115 The Village Traditional 1-Light Indoor Dimmable Wall Sconce with Frosted Flute Glass with Twist On/Off Switch for Bathroom Bedroom Hallway, Oil Rubbed Bronze

I took down some old brass candle shaped sconces along with the old wood paneling on a house I bought a few years ago. I wanted a more modern look and it was all DYI. The ones I took down had switches on them and were not wired to a wall switch. After painting I replaced the switch plates in the room with brushed nickel plates and wanted silver sconces to match. I soon found, after a month of web surfing and going to lighting showrooms that wasn't going to b easy. 99% of all sconces offered did not have a built in switch. I was about to put the old ones back up because I had no other option when I saw these. I was willing to pay over a hundred dollars each and a lot of sconces are well over that. I couldn't believe how inexpensive these were and that they were silver and had there own switches. I bought them and just hoped they would look good enough. When I got them I was thrilled to see the picture on Amazon didn't do them justice. They look great on the wall and were very easy to install. Being an older house I have plaster (not drywall / gypsum board) walls. So I purchased some plaster mollys for the screws ( a couple bucks at HD) and installed them first. The bracket is completely adjustable so you can mount it to the wall and then adjust it as needed. The finish is clean and has a nice luster. The glass on the diffuser is heavy too. I was afraid it would be real thin. The only thing I don't like aesthetically is the screws that hold the glass diffuser on stick out a little too far. I would have liked to see them screw in more so that they didn't stick out as much. My only other complaint is the spherical shaped nuts (that's what mine came with. They look like ball bearings with a threaded hole on one side) that screw onto the the bolts that hold the light to the bracket may look nice but don't seem very durable. Since they're not something that will be removed once the light is up I don't think that will be an issue. I was also concerned about brightness. These are rated to use a 60 watt bulb. I put 40 watt bulbs in and they were plenty bright. I have since replaced the 40 watt bulbs with 60 watt equivalent CFLs and they work great. They look good on or off and I can't stop looking at them.

We put one of these in our remodeled bedroom. It is beautiful, works well, and gives out plenty of light!

Love this design, goes perfectly with a floor lamp in the same room. I would've liked less hardware showing for a sconce but overall quite pleased. Works well.

Would buy again and completely satisfied. I assigned a five star brightness rating, but it depends on the lightbulb. It is a single bulb fixture so brightness is limited but assigned five stars to brightness because I felt a five star overall rating was justified for the product being what it is.

Arrived on time undamaged and for me easy to install

This is a very nice, good quality light for the price. It can be mounted pointed up or down if you have space limitations. Mounting it is a little weird however as the screw holes in the housing are not at the standard spacing for a lighting junction box. So they include a metal strip to adapt their spacing and the junction box's spacing. Now that would be fine except they don't include screws with decorative heads. Instead they give you these little threaded "nubs" to thread onto the end of the screw. Now if you're mechanically inclined, you've already put together why that's a problem. Because that means the screws have to poke through from the backside of the housing. Sooooo you'd better have a super skinny set of needlenose pliers to guide those screw shafts through the holes from the back. Or alternatively you could do what I did which was to thread 2 little nuts down the screws to hold them straight and perpendicular off the mounting strip (instead of just flopping around) making it infinitely easier to guide them through the holes in the light's housing.

My wife likes how easy the knob is to turn.

Better than expected for price. We needed new wall lights that had built in on/off switches for our older home for over our fireplace mantle and on our dining room. These, (I needed 4) fit the bill perfectly. They enhance the original look of our home we were going for and are very well made. They provide a nice soft light that creates a nice ambience for quiet evenings or dinners. They complement the new ceiling fixtures and i am very HAPPY with this purchase.
