half moon wall sconce

Most half-moon wall sconces use a standard Edison medium screw base (E26). Maximum wattage varies by model—commonly around 60W, with examples ranging from about 40W up to 100W.

Most half-moon sconces require hardwired installation and are controlled by a wall switch. Many listings note “no switch on fixture,” so built-in wall wiring and a switch are expected.

Some models are dimmable when used with compatible dimmer switches and dimmable E26 bulbs; others provide a simple on/off function, and a few list basic two-setting (low/high) options.

Sizes vary widely: widths commonly range from about 5" up to ~19.5", heights from about 5" to over 23", and depths typically fall around 4.5" to 6.5", depending on the model.

Some models are rated for interior damp locations and are suitable for kitchens or bathrooms; others are rated for dry interior areas such as hallways, stairways, or foyers.

Body materials commonly include steel, iron/metal, and wood. Decorative accents and shades use glass or linen, while some designs have no shade depending on the style.
