How do I install wall sconces? At what height should I install them? Can I mount a light on the
wall if no outlet exists? Are there plug-in, decorative wall mounted options?
Wall sconces can mount to a standard junction box. Some have the capability to plug into an outlet, and most of the plug-in varieties can use a Hide-A-
Cord that conceals the cord for a cleaner look. Most plug-in versions are of the swing arm variety, but ask your Lighting Consultant if they can help you
find an option specific for your application.
Tip: In homes, mount wall lights 5'6" - 6' AFF (above finished floor). When considering where to install the fixture, think about the placement of the
junction box in relation to the light source.
What is up lighting?
Up lighting is a nice indirect lighting solution that creates a warm glow and pleasing atmosphere. Up lighting is best utilized with other types of light
sources as part of a layered lighting scheme. Look for an upcoming article on layered lighting to read more about the best way to achieve a great lighting
design.

What else should I keep in mind when shopping for wall lighting?
Wall fixtures are mounted at eye level, so avoid open fixtures and exposed bulbs: you do not want to see the bulb when the fixture is on. Color
temperature and CRI are also important for wall lighting, as with any light fixture. Most people like 2700K-3000K light sources, which are warm, easy
on the eye, and inviting. If you choose an LED fixture, assure high quality lighting by choosing a fixture with a CRI above 80.
