Modern Gold Wall Light | Nordic Up and Down Waterproof Sconce For Indoor and Outdoor Walls

A gold finish on an up and down fitting changes what the light does at the wall. Where a black or white body absorbs or reflects neutrally, a warm metallic picks up the light escaping at the top and bottom of the fitting and glows itself, so the sconce has presence rather than being a dark shape between two cones of light.

Up and down output puts two cones on the wall, one rising and one falling, which reads as architectural rather than decorative and works particularly well in a run along a facade, a hallway, or a stairwell. Because the light meets the wall rather than firing outward, glare is minimal even at close range. Check the rating before you fit it outside, since a fitting sold for both uses is only as weatherproof as its stated IP number.

It is waterproof rated, so it works outside as well as in, which is unusual and useful if you want the same fitting either side of a door or continuing from a hallway onto a porch. Mount at a consistent height across a run. Electrical installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician in line with local wiring regulations. Buy it now.
