When the bulb inside is on, every facet catches it. The result is a bright sparkling column rather than a smooth glow, and points of light scatter onto the wall around it. That is the whole reason to buy crystal instead of glass. The fixture is 9 in wide and 8.5 in high and sits close to the wall. It hardwires in and takes a small E12 or E14 bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/1879\/8922\/files\/crystal-wall-sconce-gold-column-teal-wall-shelving.jpg?v=1788757153\" alt=\"Crystal column sconce lit on a teal wall beside open shelving\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/1879\/8922\/files\/crystal-wall-sconce-gold-column-grey-wall-console.jpg?v=1788757154\" alt=\"Crystal column sconce lit on a grey wall above a timber console\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/1879\/8922\/files\/crystal-wall-sconce-gold-column-panelled-hall-table.jpg?v=1788757154\" alt=\"Crystal column sconce lit in a panelled hall beside a side table\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/1879\/8922\/files\/crystal-wall-sconce-gold-column-gilt-dining-room.jpg?v=1788757154\" alt=\"Crystal column sconce lit warm in a gilt panelled dining room\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.6715%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFixture Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.9675%;\"\u003eWall sconce\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.6715%;\"\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.9675%;\"\u003eModern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.6715%;\"\u003eShade Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.9675%;\"\u003eClear cut crystal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.6715%;\"\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.9675%;\"\u003eMetal, gold finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.6715%;\"\u003eFixture Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.9675%;\"\u003e9 in wide, 8.5 in high\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.6715%;\"\u003eNumber of Lights\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.9675%;\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.6715%;\"\u003eBulb Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.9675%;\"\u003eE12 or E14\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.6715%;\"\u003eBulb Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.9675%;\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.6715%;\"\u003ePower Source\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.9675%;\"\u003eHardwired, direct wired\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 32.6715%;\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 66.9675%;\"\u003e110V-120V and 220V-240V rated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/1879\/8922\/files\/crystal-wall-sconce-gold-column-dimensions.jpg?v=1788757154\" alt=\"Line drawing of the sconce, 9 in wide and 8 in high\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"oca-con\"\u003eCrystal and glass look similar switched off and behave completely differently switched on. Glass passes light through fairly evenly. Cut crystal bends it at every facet, splits it and sends it off in different directions. That is why a crystal fixture sparkles and a glass one glows. It is also why crystal works best in a dim room, where there is contrast for the sparkle to show against.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the Cut Column Handles the Light\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shade is a squat column of crystal cut into long vertical facets all the way round. The bulb sits inside it. Each facet acts as a small prism, so the light leaves in a dozen directions at once instead of straight out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the front you see bright vertical lines running down the crystal. On the wall around it you get scattered points of light rather than a single soft pool. Move your head and the pattern changes, because you are seeing different facets. A smooth glass shade does none of this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is a thin gold bar that wraps over the top and down one side, holding the crystal against a round backplate. It is deliberately minimal so the crystal does the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Put It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sparkle effect needs darkness to show against. In a bright kitchen you will lose most of it. In a bedroom, a hallway, a stairwell or beside a mirror in the evening it does exactly what you bought it for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fixture is 9 in wide and 8.5 in high and sits tight to the wall, so it suits a corridor where a deeper fitting would be in the way. Beside a bed, mount the backplate around 30 in above the mattress. In a hallway, eye level or a little above is right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne more thing worth knowing. Crystal shows dust more than most materials, because dust sits in the cut grooves and dulls the sparkle. A dry brush every few months keeps it working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBulbs and Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe socket is E12 or E14, the small candle size, not the standard screw base. No bulb is included, so check what you have before ordering. A clear bulb gives the sharpest sparkle because it puts out a small bright source for the facets to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm white near 2700K keeps the gold frame looking warm. The sconce is hardwired with no plug and no cord, so it runs from a wall switch and needs a junction box. It is rated for 110V-120V as well as 220V-240V, and weighs about 3.5 lb.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hurbane Home","offers":[{"title":"Gold","offer_id":48723350290626,"sku":"HH71025AS3140-1","price":76.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/1879\/8922\/files\/crystal-wall-sconce-gold-column-navy-wall-desk.jpg?v=1788757153","url":"https:\/\/hurbanehome.com\/products\/crystal-wall-sconce-gold-column","provider":"Hurbane Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
