Modern Linear LED Wall Light | Slim Wall Sconce For Bathrooms, Living and Dining Room Walls

A linear sconce lights a length rather than a point, which is why it is the standard choice above a bathroom mirror. A single downward source puts shadow under your eyes and chin, which is the worst possible light for shaving or applying makeup. A bar spreads output across the width of the mirror and fills those shadows in.

The same property makes it work elsewhere. Above a piece of artwork, along a hallway, or beside a dining area, a linear fitting washes evenly rather than spotlighting, and the slim profile keeps it reading as a line on the wall rather than as an object mounted to it. Mount it horizontally above a mirror and vertically beside one, since the same fitting does two different jobs depending on which way it runs. Keep it clear of a shower spray unless the rating covers it.

Above a mirror, mount it centred and at or slightly above head height for the tallest user. Check the fitting's rating against the bathroom zone you intend to use it in before installing near water. Electrical installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician in line with local wiring regulations, with the supply isolated first. Buy it now.
