Cauldron Stainless Steel Downlight Wall Sconce, 6 in Black or 7 in Gold, by ET2

The ET2 Cauldron is a stainless steel downlight wall sconce in two sizes and finishes, a 6 in Black version and a 7 in Gold version. The Black model suits outdoor use, while the Gold is for indoor dry rooms. Both use integrated 3000K LED and project 7.75 to 8.75 in.

The bowl form throws light down in a clean pool, so it washes the wall below the fixture and keeps the glare out of eyes. The Black 6 in puts out 600 lumens on 12 W. The Gold 7 in puts out 900 lumens on 17.5 W. Dimming is Triac CL, and rated life is 30000 hours. The Black version is the one built for outdoor use, and the Gold is a warm accent for dining rooms, hallways and entries. Both suit Modern and Contemporary schemes with metal and stone.

Which size for which room

• 6 in / Black: 6 x 7 in, 600 lumens on 12 W, projects 7.75 in, 1.87 lb. The outdoor-suited version for covered entries and patio walls.
• 7 in / Gold: 7 x 7 in, 900 lumens on 17.5 W, projects 8.75 in, 2.42 lb. The indoor version, with more output for hallways and bedrooms.

Where it works best

Hang the Black pair on each side of a patio door or garage, and the Gold pair beside a bed, a mirror or a dining room buffet. The downward bowl reads as a graphic shape from afar. Repeat the same shape in both finishes in connected indoor and outdoor rooms. Keep one bowl size per room so the pairs read evenly.

Who this is not for

The two finishes have different ratings, so do not use the Gold version outdoors, since it is for dry locations. Projection of 7.75 to 8.75 in is deep, so it is not for narrow corridors. The LED is integrated, and dimming needs a Triac CL dimmer.

Why we carry ET2

Cauldron gives us a downlight sconce that works at both an outdoor door and an indoor bedside. We carry both finishes so projects can match inside and out.

Care and installation

Polish the stainless steel with a soft microfiber cloth and mild soap, and dust the interior of the bowl. ET2 advises that a qualified electrician install it. Assembly sheets: 6 in (PDF), 7 in (PDF).

Frequently asked questions

How high should I mount the Cauldron sconce?

Center it about 66 in above the floor in a hall or at an entry, and a little lower beside a bed. Keep at least 8 in of clear wall below the bowl.

Which Cauldron can I use outdoors?

Use the 6 in Black. The maker lists the Black model for outdoor applications, and the Gold is for dry indoor rooms.

Does the Cauldron dim?

Yes. Dimming is Triac CL, so use a compatible Triac LED dimmer and test the low end of the range before finalizing the install.

How do I choose between the 6 in and 7 in Cauldron?

The 6 in Black gives 600 lumens and the 7 in Gold gives 900 lumens. Choose by finish and location: Black for exposed or covered exteriors, Gold for interiors.

What should my electrician know before installing the Cauldron?

Input is 120V and the fixture has 8 in of lead wire. The backplate is 4.5 in wide and 7 in tall, and the weights are 1.87 and 2.42 lb.

Can the Cauldron be used for upward light?

The maker says the series can face upward indoors or downward. For wet locations, keep the Black model facing down so water drains.
