wall lamp with plug

Most plug-in wall lamps use a standard E26 (medium) base compatible with LED and incandescent bulbs. Some nightlight-style plug-in fixtures include non-removable integrated LED bulbs instead of a replaceable lamp.

Many plug-in wall lamps are simple on/off fixtures. Some models support full-range dimming, but require a dimmable bulb and dimmer-compatible wiring or dimmer control to achieve variable light levels.

Common bodies are metal or iron, with shades made from metal, cotton, or paper twine. Some designs incorporate wood or hemp rope accents and finishes such as matte or brass-plated.

Many plug-in wall lamps feature adjustable heads or pivot joints and can be mounted horizontally or vertically so you can direct light where you need it.

Product listings typically show three patterns: plug-in-only fixtures, 2-in-1 models that can be used either plugged in or hardwired, and fixtures that require hardwiring. Some items note a plug-in conversion kit is included.

Common switch types include socket pull chains and inline cord switches (rotary or rocker). Some fixtures list no switch on the fixture itself.

Some listings specify a US-style plug. Safety certifications shown in product details commonly include UL and ETL listings on multiple items.
