Understanding Technical Challenges and Installation Considerations for Wall Sconces
Before choosing your wall sconces, it's crucial to consider some potential technical challenges caused by not understanding lighting fixtures that can influence functionality and the installation process. Here's what you need to know:
Wiring
A sconce requires electrical connections within the wall. This is typically a job for a professional licensed electrician. If you're looking for an easier installation, consider the plug-in version that hangs on the wall.
Location
Ideally, they should be placed around 60 to 70 inches from the floor - high enough to prevent glaring light and low enough to offer functional lighting.
Bulb Type
Our fixtures are compatible with LED bulbs. These not only offer energy efficiency but also provide excellent light quality. Remember to check the product specifications for the correct bulb wattage and base size.
Switches
Some come with integrated switches while others can be connected to wall switches. Choose what suits your needs best.
Indoor vs Outdoor
Not all lights are suited for outdoor use. Be sure to check the product description to ensure the sconce is suitable for the intended area.
Maintenance
Lastly, consider the ease of changing the bulb. You wouldn't want to pick a beautifully intricate sconce only to find that changing a bulb is a complicated task.
Global Regulations on Lighting Fixtures and their Application in the USA
In the United States, the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) oversee the efficiency and safety of wall sconces. The Energy Star program, run by the EPA, certifies fixtures meeting specific energy efficiency criteria. As a US-based customer, you should consider these global regulations, as they inform the quality, safety, and energy efficiency of the wall sconces you buy. As such, the same brands of wall sconces purchased elsewhere, including in the European Union or UK websites, may be of a high standards but fall short of meeting the new regulations here.
Choose wall sconces that are UL listed, verifying they meet US safety standards. Energy Star certification indicates that the fixture is energy-efficient, potentially saving you on utility bills. It's also recommended to hire a licensed electrician for installation to guarantee compliance with local electrical codes. At Thomas Lee Living, we ensure all our wall sconces align with these safety and energy efficiency standards, as well as new regulations, providing you with the highest quality wall sconces for your home or business.
