# Title: Glass Wall Sconces ## Description: Glass wall lights read differently depending on the surface of the glass. Clear leaves the bulb visible and casts a sharp shadow, frosted evens the source out to a steady glow, and ribbed or fluted glass breaks the light into vertical lines on the wall behind. Every fixture here lists glass in its material specification. How to choose glass wall sconces The room decides the diffusion. In a bedroom or a passage people move close to the fixture at eye level, so frosted or opal is the easier choice; nobody wants to look into an exposed filament from three feet away. On a dining wall or behind a bar the lamp is part of the design, and clear glass belongs there. Then check what the glass is attached to. Many bodies pair a glass shade with a metal backplate, a stone base or a wood arm, and the metal is what you match to the door levers and the cabinet pulls. The material field on each product page lists every component, which is worth reading when a photograph makes a mixed fixture look like one thing. Which glass sconce for which wall Glass type Best in What it does Price here Opal globes and orbs A bedroom, a hallway, a landing An even ball of light with no visible filament $108 to $1,089 Clear glass A living room, a dining wall The bulb on display and a crisp shadow edge $121 to $210 Frosted and ribbed glass A stairway, a wall beside a mirror A softened source with texture across the face $96 to $249 Glass on wood and stone A room with warm materials already A lit shade held off a natural backplate $119 to $350 Outdoor rated lanterns A porch, a door, a garden wall A sealed body that takes rain and still lights $119 to $759 Terms on this page G9 capsule A small pin lamp pushed into two holes instead of screwed in. It is the socket used most often here, because a capsule fits inside a shallow glass shade where a screw bulb would show. Keep a spare, since it is less common in shops. E26 socket The standard American screw fitting, used by a good part of this range. It takes any household bulb, so the warmth and the output are yours to choose. On a clear glass shade the bulb is on show, which makes its shape part of the design. Hardwired Connected directly to the house wiring at a box in the wall, with no plug and nothing visible. Most sconces here fit this way. It is the cleanest result on a plain wall and it fixes the position for good, so measure the height first. IP65 A body sealed against dust and against water jets. Part of this range carries it, which is what allows the outdoor models above. Anything rated for dry use only belongs inside, away from a porch that takes blowing rain. Bulb not included Most fixtures on this page ship without a lamp, and the product page says which. Check the socket and the maximum wattage before buying, and remember that a clear glass shade shows the bulb, so a decorative one is worth the extra. Shade orientation on glass wall sconces Which way the shade points changes a room more than the finish does. Facing up, it washes the ceiling, makes a low room feel taller and hides the lamp completely from anyone standing. Facing down, it drops a bright scallop on the wall and lights whatever sits underneath. A cylinder open at both ends does both and leaves a band of dark across the middle. Set the center of the backplate around 66 inches from the floor unless the fixture is lighting one specific object. Is fluted glass harder to keep clean? A little. Dust settles in the grooves and a flat cloth skips over them, so use a soft brush or a cloth wrapped over one finger. The trade is worth it in a passage, where the ridges give the wall a pattern a smooth shade cannot. Can a glass sconce go in a bathroom? Check the rating listed on the product page before you commit, since a wall near a shower counts as a damp position and not every fixture is intended for one. Frosted glass is the usual pick at a mirror because it lights a face evenly rather than from one bright point. Keep browsing with Brass Wall Sconces, Alabaster Wall Sconces, Wood Wall Sconces and Glass Hanging Lights. Browse the wider category at Wall Lamps. How do you maintain a glass wall sconce? Power off, fixture cool, then a microfiber cloth dampened with warm water and a drop of dish soap, dried straight away. Drying is the step that decides the result, because air drying is what leaves the streaks people blame on the cleaner. Spray cleaners are the thing to avoid: liquid runs into the socket and ammonia dulls a lacquered brass or black holder. On ribbed, fluted or seeded glass, a dry soft brush first clears the dust out of the texture before anything wet touches it. Twice a year is enough in a dry room. How much does a glass wall sconce cost on this page? Across the 112 fixtures on this page: lowest $96, highest $1,289, median $189. Nine out of ten cost less than $300. Hand blown and colored glass sits above pressed glass at the same size. Clear, opal or fluted glass on a wall? Clear glass shows the lamp, which is a feature at ceiling height and a glare problem at eye level, where most sconces sit. Opal or frosted glass hides the lamp completely and spreads the same output, which is why it is the easy choice beside a bed or along a corridor. Fluted and ribbed glass sits in between: the pattern breaks up the filament so there is no single hard point, while keeping the visual texture. A clear shade with a frosted lamp inside gets most of both. ## Products count: 112 ## Link: https://www.orodwell.com/collections/glass-wall-sconces ## Products - [Curved Wall Sconce in Wave Shaped Glass and Metal 24 by 21 cm](https://www.orodwell.com/a/llms/products/glass-wall-lamp) -
