Blackjack Lighting Milo 14-Inch LED Wall Sconce, Satin Nickel

Milo is a slim vertical sconce that does the most important job in a bathroom: lighting a face evenly from both sides. Mount a pair on either side of a vanity mirror and the frosted tubes wash light across the face with no shadows under the eyes or chin, far better than a single light overhead. It works just as well along a hallway, beside a bed in place of a table lamp, flanking a front door inside an entry, or repeated down a row of mirrors in a hotel, restaurant or office washroom. A frosted acrylic tube set against a stamped steel back plate in Satin Nickel gives it a crisp, Modern look that sits comfortably in Transitional rooms too, and it matches the Milo vanity lights for a coordinated bath.

The light is soft and generous. An 11-watt integrated LED gives 660 lumens of warm 3000K light at 90 CRI, so makeup, skin tones and tile colors look true. It dims on a standard 120V TRIAC dimmer, is JA8 compliant for California Title 24, and is rated for damp locations. The standard shallow back plate keeps the driver inside the wall box, so the fixture stands just 4 inches off the wall.

Why it works at a mirror

• Even face lighting: used in pairs, vertical frosted tubes light the face from both sides with no hard shadows.
• Glare-free: the frosted acrylic tube hides the LED completely.
• True color: 90 CRI for grooming and makeup.
• Slim: 4.6 in (11.7 cm) wide and 4 in (10.2 cm) deep.
• Code friendly: JA8 compliant and damp location rated.
• Dims on a standard 120V TRIAC dimmer, with a three-year warranty on the LED and power supply.

Where to use it

• Bathroom mirror: one on each side, centered about 60 to 66 in (152 to 168 cm) above the floor and roughly 30 to 40 in (76 to 102 cm) apart.
• Bedside: mounted about 24 to 30 in above the mattress top, to free up the nightstand.
• Hallways and entries: spaced every 8 to 10 ft at about eye level, or flanking a doorway.
• Commercial washrooms: one between each pair of mirrors in hotels, restaurants and offices.

It is led by industrial designer Stephen Blackman, its President and Chief Design Officer. A Syracuse University industrial design graduate, he entered the lighting industry in 1984 at Sonneman Design Group and founded his own studio, Blackman Design Associates, in 1988, designing for manufacturers such as Kichler Lighting before launching Blackjack in 2013. His focus has always been practical: fixtures built around LED light from the start, and everyday pieces like Milo that make a bathroom mirror work properly.

FAQ

How high should I mount it beside a mirror?

Center each sconce at about eye level, roughly 60 to 66 in above the floor, with the pair about 30 to 40 in apart so they frame the mirror.

Can it go in a bathroom?

Yes. Blackjack rates Milo for damp locations. Keep it out of direct water spray, such as inside a shower.

What does it mount to?

A standard wall junction box. With the shallow S4 back plate, the driver sits in the box behind the fixture.

What dimmer do I need?

A standard 120V TRIAC (incandescent-style) dimmer; an LED-rated model gives the smoothest range.

Can it be mounted horizontally?

Milo is designed and shown as a vertical sconce. For a horizontal bar over a mirror, choose the matching Milo vanity light.
