Design House 514588 Marlowe Traditional 1-Light Indoor Wall Light Dimmable Alabaster Glass for Bathroom Bedroom Hallway, Satin Nickel

I took down some old brass candle shaped sconces along with the old wood paneling on a house I bought a few years ago. I wanted a more modern look and it was all DYI. The ones I took down had switches on them and were not wired to a wall switch. After painting I replaced the switch plates in the room with brushed nickel plates and wanted silver sconces to match. I soon found, after a month of web surfing and going to lighting showrooms that wasn't going to b easy. 99% of all sconces offered did not have a built in switch. I was about to put the old ones back up because I had no other option when I saw these. I was willing to pay over a hundred dollars each and a lot of sconces are well over that. I couldn't believe how inexpensive these were and that they were silver and had there own switches. I bought them and just hoped they would look good enough. When I got them I was thrilled to see the picture on Amazon didn't do them justice. They look great on the wall and were very easy to install. Being an older house I have plaster (not drywall / gypsum board) walls. So I purchased some plaster mollys for the screws ( a couple bucks at HD) and installed them first. The bracket is completely adjustable so you can mount it to the wall and then adjust it as needed. The finish is clean and has a nice luster. The glass on the diffuser is heavy too. I was afraid it would be real thin. The only thing I don't like aesthetically is the screws that hold the glass diffuser on stick out a little too far. I would have liked to see them screw in more so that they didn't stick out as much. My only other complaint is the spherical shaped nuts (that's what mine came with. They look like ball bearings with a threaded hole on one side) that screw onto the the bolts that hold the light to the bracket may look nice but don't seem very durable. Since they're not something that will be removed once the light is up I don't think that will be an issue. I was also concerned about brightness. These are rated to use a 60 watt bulb. I put 40 watt bulbs in and they were plenty bright. I have since replaced the 40 watt bulbs with 60 watt equivalent CFLs and they work great. They look good on or off and I can't stop looking at them.

Easy to install, nice quality light. Works well in my hallway.

Love this design, goes perfectly with a floor lamp in the same room. I would've liked less hardware showing for a sconce but overall quite pleased. Works well.

These are nice simple designs that add to the house.

Used to replace old lighting above the fireplace in my den - easily installed by me and works great after years of use

Looks nice. Easy to install. Good value.

We put one of these in our remodeled bedroom. It is beautiful, works well, and gives out plenty of light!

Landlord replaced light fixture with cheap equipment many times till I bought this. This is the longest I’ve had a light fixture work.
