Besa Kite 20W LED Edge-Lit ADA Wall Sconce

A flat 15-inch panel only 2.5 inches deep that throws a soft halo of light onto the wall from all four edges: 2,000 lumens, ADA compliant.

• ✓ ADA compliant
• ✓ Only 2.5" deep
• ✓ 2,000 lumens
• ✓ ELV dimmable LED
• ✓ CRI 90+, 3000K
• ✓ Damp rated

Kite is Besa Lighting’s ultra-low-profile LED sconce. An aluminum faceplate sits in front of a frosted acrylic side diffuser, so the light comes out around the edges and washes the wall behind it. The result reads more like a lit artwork than a fixture, and at 2.5 inches deep it easily meets ADA rules.

The integrated LED delivers 2,000 lumens at 3000K with CRI 90+, rated 30,000 hours, and dims on an ELV dimmer. Choose a Black or White faceplate.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and Kite delivers serious light output from a fixture that is barely there, which is exactly what modern corridors and minimalist rooms need. 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, then dust the faceplate with a dry microfiber cloth; for marks, use a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away (our advice). Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended; use a compatible ELV dimmer.
