Start With the Installation

Wireless and rechargeable sconces may reduce the need for permanent electrical installation. They are not automatically suitable for every wall or lease.

02

Adhesive or Screws?

Adhesive mounting may suit smooth, prepared surfaces. Screws can support more securely but create holes. Follow weight limits and check your rental agreement.

03

Where They Work

Bedside accent lighting, hallways and living-room ambience are common uses. Plan around glare, charging access and the amount of light needed.

04

Before You Order

Check brightness, power source, charging method, mounting hardware, wall guidance and return policy.
