Lighting - Wall Sconces

Wall sconces for hallways, stairwells, and entries

Wall sconces, this cabinet hardware catalog's wall-mounted lighting, attach directly to a wall surface, lighting a hallway, stairwell, or entry without a fixture that hangs down into the room. This collection covers several shapes, from the enclosed Tunnel and Dice sconces to the more open Echo and Gateway designs, several built as LED units finished to match the site's cabinet hardware. A double-fixture version of several shapes is also stocked for spots that need light spread across a wider wall.

Enclosed versus open fixtures

Tunnel and Double Tunnel sconces fully enclose the light source behind a shade, casting a softer, more diffused glow up and down the wall. The Vessel and Custom Vessel sconces open the shade more, letting more raw light spill out around the fixture rather than filtering all of it. Echo and Double Charlie sit somewhere in between, showing more bare metal than a fully enclosed shade but still controlling glare better than a fully open design. A custom single light sconce is available for a wall spot that none of the stock shapes fit well, built to whatever that specific corner of a house calls for.

LED options and where sconces work best

Gateway and Dice both come in LED versions, useful where a hardwired traditional bulb fixture isn't practical or where energy use matters more than ornamental detail. Swapping a bulb fixture for an LED sconce down the road usually means buying a new fixture outright, not just a bulb swap, so deciding upfront avoids a second purchase. The horizontal LED pathway light works low on a wall or stair riser instead of at eye level, marking a stair edge or hallway floor line rather than lighting a whole room. This category tends to land in transitional spaces, a stairwell, a hall, next to a doorway, anywhere function outranks a decorative statement. Confirm the wiring already run to the wall matches the fixture chosen before ordering, since LED and traditional bulb versions aren't always wired the same way.
