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

The most useful light in a bathroom is at face height on both sides of the mirror, and Vector is built for exactly that job. It is a 14-inch bar of evenly lit diffuser, edged in a thin Satin Nickel trim, that mounts vertically over a standard outlet box. A pair flanking a vanity mirror lights the face from the sides with no shadows under the eyes; a single one dresses a hallway, a bedside wall or a stair. It suits Modern, Transitional and spa-style bathrooms, and its damp rating covers hotel and commercial washrooms too.

The whole face glows evenly, without hot spots, so it is comfortable to look at directly. Output is 500 lumens at 90 CRI, and a switch on the housing lets the installer choose 2700K, 3000K, 3500K or 4000K to match the room's other lighting. At only 2.75 inches deep, Vector sits close to the wall. Choose the 120V driver for standard TRIAC dimmers at home, or the 120-277V universal driver for ELV and 0-10V controls in commercial projects.

Why it works beside a mirror

• Even, shadow-free light: a uniformly lit 14 in (35.5 cm) diffuser, ideal for grooming and makeup.
• True color: 90 CRI, with switch-selectable 2700K, 3000K, 3500K or 4000K.
• Slim profile: 2.75 in (7 cm) deep on a 5 in by 4.6 in backplate.
• Damp location rated: for bathrooms, powder rooms and spa areas.
• Two drivers: 120V TRIAC, or 120-277V for TRIAC, ELV and 0-10V dimming.
• No bulbs to replace: integrated 14 W LED with a three-year LED and power supply warranty.

Where to use it

• Bathroom vanity: mount one on each side of the mirror, centered about 60 to 66 in above the floor and 28 to 36 in apart.
• Powder room: a single sconce beside a small mirror adds both function and polish.
• Hallway and stair: a row at about 66 in high gives soft, even wayfinding light.
• Bedroom: beside the bed or a dressing mirror, at a lower color temperature for evening.

FAQ

How high should I mount it beside a mirror?

Center the sconce at roughly eye level, about 60 to 66 inches above the floor, with a pair spaced 28 to 36 inches apart so light reaches both sides of the face.

Can it go in a bathroom?

Yes. It is damp location rated, suitable for bathrooms and other humid rooms, but not for direct water spray.

Which driver should I order?

The 120V version works with standard TRIAC (incandescent-style) dimmers in most homes. Choose the 120-277V version for commercial voltages or ELV and 0-10V dimming systems.

Can I change the color of the light?

Yes. A switch on the housing sets 2700K, 3000K, 3500K or 4000K during installation, all at 90 CRI.

What do I need behind the wall?

A standard outlet box. The driver mounts to the backplate over the box, so no separate driver location is needed.
