Besa Baaz 20 Opal Glass Half-Cylinder Wall Sconce

A 3.75" W x 19.75" H half-cylinder of hand-blown Opal glass, closed at the ends so you never see a bulb, just an even white glow.

• ✓ Closed-end opal glass
• ✓ Hides the bulbs
• ✓ 19.75" tall
• ✓ LED option, 800 lm
• ✓ Damp rated
• ✓ UL listed

Baaz is Besa Lighting’s quiet workhorse: a half-cylinder of soft white cased glass whose clear outer layer is satin-etched, mouth-blown by an artisan for a calm, even glow, closed at both ends so the light source stays hidden, on a simple oval canopy. It is a natural vanity sconce, and Besa shows it mounted vertically or horizontally.

Baaz 20 measures 3.75" W x 19.75" H, 4.25" projection from the wall. The incandescent version takes three 40W max B10 medium (E26) base bulbs (not included); the LED version ships with a replaceable dimmable source rated 800 lumens at 3000K, CRI 90+. Because it projects just over 4 inches, it is not an ADA fixture; for ADA corridors, see Darci or Aero.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and Baaz solves the most common vanity complaint, glare from exposed bulbs, with a fully enclosed hand-blown shade. 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

Switch off and let it cool, then loosen the set screws to lift off the glass and wipe it with a soft cloth lightly misted with glass cleaner (our advice). The LED source is replaceable. Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.
