The Bubble Ball Wall Sconce features a swivel hinge and an adjustable plug-in cord, enabling effortless movement of the lampshade without the need for wall readjustments. In 1952, Swedish hanging lamps made their debut in the American market, catching the attention of George Nelson, who admired them for his office. However, their high cost deterred him from purchasing one, sparking his creativity to craft his designs. This led to a series of lamps characterized by elemental, spherical shapes such as rounded apples, elongated cigars, and Shapely pears, among others!

Note: Due to the narrow width of this wall lamp, it is not compatible with the standard American JBOX junction box. This lamp requires a specially sized junction box to ensure a proper fit; otherwise, gaps may occur on both sides.

Installing Wall Sconces: A Guide by Vinlighting

Wall sconces are a beautiful addition to any room, providing both ambient and accent lighting that can transform the atmosphere of your space. Whether you’re adding sconces to your living room, hallway, or bathroom, Vinlighting has created this step-by-step guide to help you install your wall sconces safely and effectively.

1. Choose the Right Wall Sconce for Your Space

Choosing the appropriate wall sconce for your room ensures that it complements the space and provides adequate lighting:

• Style and Size: Consider the overall design of the room. Sleek, minimalist sconces can suit modern spaces, while ornate sconces may be more fitting for traditional decor. Select a size that complements the scale of the wall and other furniture.
• Lighting Purpose: Determine the function of the sconce. Will it serve as accent lighting, task lighting, or a primary source of illumination? This can influence the type of light bulb and fixture style you choose.
• Placement: Identify where you’ll place the sconces to enhance the room’s aesthetics and lighting. For hallways or bedside lighting, two or more matching sconces may create balance. For bathrooms, place sconces at eye level on either side of a mirror to minimize shadows.

2. Prepare for Installation

Gather the necessary tools and ensure a safe working environment before beginning installation:

• Tools Needed: A screwdriver, ladder, voltage tester, wire connectors, and power drill (if necessary).
• Turn Off Power: Always start by turning off the power to the room at the breaker box. Use a voltage tester to confirm there’s no power in the wires. If you’re replacing an old fixture, carefully remove it by unscrewing and disconnecting the wires.

This step helps you avoid electrical hazards and ensures a smooth installation process.

3. Install the Mounting Bracket

The mounting bracket is essential for securing the wall sconce to the wall:

• Secure the Bracket: Attach the mounting bracket to the wall junction box with the screws provided, ensuring it’s aligned and stable. This will provide the foundation for the sconce.
• Check Stability: Double-check that the bracket is firmly attached, as it will need to support the weight of the sconce. For larger or heavier sconces, make sure the bracket and wall box can handle the weight or consider additional reinforcement.

4. Connect the Wiring

Wiring is a critical step in the installation process. Match the wires according to their function:

• Black Wire: Connects to the live (hot) wire.
• White Wire: Connects to the neutral wire.
• Green or Bare Copper Wire: Connects to the ground wire.

Instructions:

1. Attach the Ground Wire: Start by connecting the green or bare copper wire from the wall sconce to the ground wire in the wall junction box. Secure them with a wire connector.
2. Connect the Neutral Wires: Twist together the white wire from the sconce fixture with the white wire from the wall and secure with a wire connector.
3. Connect the Live Wires: Twist together the black wire from the sconce fixture with the black wire from the wall, securing with a wire connector.

Ensure that all wire connections are secure and covered with wire connectors. If unsure about wiring, consider consulting a licensed electrician to ensure safe handling.

5. Attach the Wall Sconce Fixture

With the wiring complete, carefully attach the wall sconce to the mounting bracket:

• Secure the Fixture: Position the sconce fixture onto the mounting bracket and use the provided screws or nuts to secure it in place. Make sure it is level and aligned according to your preference.
• Final Check for Alignment: Ensure the sconce is correctly positioned on the wall and that it hangs level. Adjustments can be made before fully tightening the screws.

6. Install Light Bulbs and Covers

Complete the setup by installing the light bulbs and any additional shades or covers:

• Insert Bulbs: Install the recommended bulbs for your sconce, ensuring they are the correct wattage and type as specified by the manufacturer.
• Attach Shades or Covers: If your wall sconce includes shades, covers, or decorative glass, attach them now. Make sure they are securely fastened and correctly aligned.

This step completes the fixture’s assembly, enhancing both functionality and appearance.

7. Test the Installation

It’s time to see your new wall sconce in action!

• Restore Power: Go to the breaker box and turn the power back on for the room.
• Test the Light: Flip the wall switch to make sure the sconce lights up properly. If it works correctly and looks secure, your installation is complete!
• Final Adjustments: If needed, make any last adjustments to the fixture's alignment or position to ensure it looks perfect.

8. Additional Tips for Wall Sconce Installation

• Consider Placement Height and Spacing: For optimal lighting and visual appeal, place sconces at the right height. Generally, eye level (about 5-6 feet from the floor) works well, but you may need to adjust based on ceiling height or the sconce’s intended function.
• Ensure the Wall Box Can Support the Fixture’s Weight: For heavier sconces, ensure the wall junction box and mounting bracket can support the fixture’s weight. Additional reinforcement may be required for larger fixtures.
• Seek Professional Help if Needed: If you’re unsure about wiring or mounting, hiring a licensed electrician can provide a safe and secure installation. This is especially important for wiring-intensive or heavy installations.
