Otis Wall Swing Lamp - Satin Nickel

“Wall lamp” often refers to plug‑in or adjustable fixtures with shades; a “sconce” is typically a hardwired decorative wall light—there’s overlap in use.

Plug‑in is renter‑friendly and flexible; hardwired gives a cleaner look and switch control. Choose based on access to wiring and code requirements.

Mount so the shade’s bottom is near eye level when seated or in bed—often 48–60 inches from floor depending on furniture height.

Yes—swing‑arms bring the light where you need it without glare. Choose adjustable heads and diffused shades for comfort.

Use 450–800 lumens for ambience and 800–1100 lumens for focused reading. Pick CRI 90+ and warm 2700–3000K for comfort.

Many lamps work with dimmable LEDs and smart plugs/switches. Verify compatibility to avoid flicker at low settings.

Match hardware—black, brass, or nickel—to existing fixtures. Linen shades soften light; metal shades give tighter task beams.

Use appropriate anchors for drywall or masonry and ensure a flat backplate seal. For plug‑ins, add cord channels or paintable covers.

Hardwire to a switched box where possible; for plug‑ins, route cords along molding and use cable clips to keep tidy.

Dust shades, check fasteners, and replace worn cords or plugs. Keep bulbs within the fixture’s wattage rating.
