Shaka 1-Light Wall Sconce, 17.5 in, Black / White or Weathered Brass, by Maxim

The Maxim Shaka wall sconce is a transitional fixture for a hallway, a stairway, a living room wall or either side of a bed. It is 17.5 in (44.5 cm) wide and 6.5 in (16.5 cm) high and sits 5 in (12.7 cm) off the wall, with 1 light, in Black / White or Weathered Brass.

It takes an E26 Medium bulb up to 25W. A 2700K to 3000K LED bulb keeps a hallway, living room or bedroom warm; 3500K reads crisper on a stairway. Maxim rates it for Triac or ELV (Phase Dim) dimming. Choose Black / White or Weathered Brass to match door hardware, picture frames or a nearby ceiling fixture; it suits Transitional schemes.

Where it works best

In a hallway or living room, center each sconce at roughly eye level, about 5 ft 6 in (168 cm) up, with 8 to 10 ft between fixtures. Next to a bed, place it 2 to 2.5 ft over the mattress top so the light falls on a book. On a stairway, keep each sconce the same height above the treads.

Who this is not for

It projects 5 in, beyond the 4 in ADA limit, so it is not for a commercial corridor or a narrow public hall. It is dry rated, so it is not for a bathroom with a shower or tub, or for outdoors. Bulbs are sold separately.
