This is the Besa Lighting Aqua Capped wall sconce. It measures 6" wide x 10.25" high x 4" deep. Installs directly to a 4" octagonal outlet box, centered on the fixture.

Aqua is a modern sconce built around a transparent glass diffuser with a bubble pattern blown randomly through it, so the lamp shows and the bubbles bend the light. This is the capped version, a capped glass that closes the top of the cylinder, in Clear Bubble or Smoke Bubble, on a Black or Bronze fitter. Lamping: Standard: A19 medium-base (E26) lamp, not included. Besa’s lamping line gives 75W and its ordering table gives 60W, so we advise 60W or less; LED filament version: see LED performance. LED: 7W replaceable A19 LED filament lamp, 120V, dimmable, 90+ CRI, 3000K, 800 lumens, 15,000 hours, lamp included. Besa photographs the Clear Bubble glass in Black on this capped shape; the Smoke Bubble and Bronze options share that photo. 5 of the 8 combinations are sold out at the moment and show as unavailable until Besa restocks.

Who this is not for

• Anyone who wants a security floodlight: this is a decorative fixture that gives a soft pool of light, not a security-light beam.
• Anyone ordering by eye: check the size above (6" wide x 10.25" high x 4" deep) against your wall, door and ceiling height before you buy.
• Anyone who needs a lamp thrown in: the standard version takes lamps that you supply.
• Anyone who wants every piece identical: handcrafted glass varies slightly from piece to piece, which is part of the look.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and the Aqua Capped wall sconce is a dependable way to put a well-made Besa fixture on a wall: bubble glass with the lamp in view, in three shapes. Besa Lighting pairs American design with European glass artisanship: its shades are hand-blown by skilled artisans using techniques passed down for generations, then hand-inspected at Besa’s factory in Ohio for color, pattern, thickness and size before they ship.

Buy once: durability and care

With the power off and the fixture cool, wipe the glass with a soft cloth lightly misted with glass cleaner (spray the cloth, not the fixture) and dust the metal parts with a dry microfiber cloth (our advice). Outdoors, a gentle rinse with a garden hose clears dust and pollen; avoid pressure washing. Lamps are replaceable, and installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.

Is the Aqua Capped rated for wet locations?

Besa rates it for wet locations, so it can go on an exposed outdoor wall or indoors. Follow the installation guide and seal the canopy to the wall (our advice).

How many Aqua Capped lights does a front entry need?

Our advice: one on each side of a door gives even light, while a single works beside a narrow door or at a garage. Space pairs at about the height of the door handle or a little above.
