Choosing modern wall lights

Light direction: up-and-down lights wash the wall for a soft, decorative effect; shaded or globe sconces spread light into the room; adjustable arms direct light for reading.

Height and spacing: about 60–66″ (150–170 cm) from the floor, and about 8–10 ft (2.4–3 m) apart in hallways.

LED: integrated LED wall lights need no bulbs; others list their bulb base on the product page.

Choose damp-rated lights for bathrooms. Every light lists its size in inches and centimetres, the bulb base and whether bulbs are included, and is supplied for your country's voltage. Hard-wired fittings should be installed by a qualified electrician.

Wall Lights: frequently asked questions

Do your wall lights plug in or need wiring?
Almost all are hardwired. Of our best sellers that list a power source, 176 of 184 are direct-wired, so they connect to a wall junction box and are best installed by an electrician.
Can I use them outdoors?
Only models listed as "Outdoor" in the specifications. Most of our wall lights are for indoor use.
How high should I mount a wall light?
A common guide is about 60-66" (1.5-1.7 m) from the floor to the center of the fixture in hallways and living rooms. Each listing gives the fixture height and width so you can plan spacing.
What bulbs do they take?
Most use E26/E27 (medium) or E12/E14 (candelabra) bulbs, which are usually not included. Fixtures with standard sockets are dimmable with dimmable bulbs.
