Glass Sconces

Our glass sconces are pretty straightforward. You put them on the wall, turn them on, and the light just sort of spreads out. No harsh edges, no big gestures.

Glass does that thing where it softens everything a bit. Instead of a strong beam, you get a wider, calmer glow that fills in around it. In a hallway, it keeps things moving without those bright, uneven spots. Next to a bed, it feels close and relaxed, and you do not need to deal with a table lamp. In a living space, it just adds that extra layer that makes the room feel more complete.

Some are clearer, some a little more diffused. Either way, they stay light in feel. You notice the light more than the fixture.

They are the kind of pieces you stop thinking about after a while. They just sit there and do what they are supposed to do.

What makes Research.Lighting’s glass sconces feel different?
They are simple in a good way. The glass lets the light spread naturally, and the shapes stay clean. Nothing feels overworked or fussy.

Where do these wall sconces work best?
Hallways are an easy choice. They also work really well next to beds, in living rooms, or anywhere you want light at eye level.

Will the light feel too bright?
Not really. The glass softens it, so even when it is bright, it still feels comfortable.

Can I use a wall sconce instead of a table lamp?
Yeah, especially next to a bed or chair. It frees up space and still gives you the light you need.

Are these good for hallways?
Definitely. They create a nice, even rhythm and keep the space from feeling too flat.

Do they stick out far from the wall?
Not much. Most of them stay pretty close, especially surface mount styles.

Are they dimmable?
Most are, which makes it easy to adjust things depending on the time of day.

Do they come with bulbs?
They usually do. Research.Lighting includes bulbs with most fixtures, but it is always worth checking the product page.

Are they fragile?
They are sturdy for everyday use, but still glass, so a bit of care during install and cleaning helps.

Can I install more than one in a row?
Absolutely. That is often when they look best, especially in hallways or along longer walls.

Do they work in smaller spaces?
They do. Since they mount to the wall, they keep surfaces clear and help the room feel more open.

Can I mix them with other finishes?
Of course. Glass works well with brass, black, or pretty much anything else.

Are these made to order?
Yes. Each piece is assembled in-house in Brooklyn and made to order, which keeps things consistent and well considered.

What kind of feel do they give a room?
Softer, a little more relaxed. The light spreads out and takes the edge off.

Do they only work in modern spaces?
No. They lean that way, but they are simple enough to fit into a lot of different rooms.
