Brushed Brass Dimmable Swing Arm Wall Sconces, Set of 2 with Fabric Shades

This is a set of two brushed brass swing arm wall sconces with white fabric shades, dimmable at the fixture and able to run either from a wall outlet on a 6-foot cord or hardwired to a junction box. They are aimed at bedside reading, living room seating and covered porches where you want adjustable light without committing to new wiring.

Each fixture articulates in two stages: the arm swings 180 degrees side to side, and the twin-arm assembly adjusts 270 degrees horizontally to throw light where you sit. A rotary switch on the body dims smoothly from off to full, and the set arrives with two 2700K dimmable LED bulbs so nothing has to be matched or bought separately.

Product Schema

Design Story

The design premise here is a wall light that behaves like a task lamp. Rather than fixed at one angle, each fixture is built around two brass-arm segments that let you aim the shade at a book, a keyboard or a conversation area, then hold that position.

Brushed brass is a considered choice for a joint-heavy fixture. The two-stage arm gives the sconce three points of articulation, and a bright polished finish would catch light at every hinge and turn the hardware into the subject rather than the shade. Brass keeps the joints visually quiet, and the medium white fabric shade — 5.5 inches across the top, 9.4 inches at the base — softens the 2700K bulb into a warm, even pool rather than a bright point.

LIGHTEXP includes the dimmable bulbs for a practical reason: a dimmer switch only works as intended with a dimmable source, and a fixture that ships with a matched pair removes the guesswork. The plug-in or hardwire choice is built into the same body, so the fixture can move with a renter or be wired permanently into a renovated room without a different product number.

Where It Works Best

Bedside — reading without waking a partner. With the arm extended toward the pillow and the shade angled down, one sconce puts 620 lumens on a book page and little else into the room. The rotary switch is at the fixture, which means you dim it as you finish a chapter rather than reaching for a cord. Set the fixtures at roughly eye height when seated, and consider a pair of slim nightstands in walnut or black metal under them — the band of brass reads as a deliberate line across the wall.

Living room — framing a sofa or reading chair. A pair mounted on either side of a low sofa, or a single sconce above a deep armchair, replaces a floor lamp and clears the floor. Swing both arms inward for even light across a coffee table, or push them flat to the wall when the room is not in use. This is where the plug-in option earns its place: an outlet behind the sofa is enough, and the included adhesive clips keep the cord running straight down the wall. The Lighting Design Guides cover sconce height and spacing for seating groups.

Covered porch — warm light for evening sitting. Under a roofed porch the fixture gives a warmer, lower light than an overhead fixture, better suited to a chair and a drink at dusk than to illuminating a path. The fabric shade keeps the glare down so you are not looking into a bare bulb. If you are building out the exterior and interior together, the Design Inspiration & Ideas journal collects porch and entry schemes, and the Full Lighting Collection carries the rest of the range. Start with one pair and see how the room reads.

Frequently Asked Questions

How difficult is the installation?

There are two routes and neither needs an electrician for the plug-in version. For plug-in, fix the wall plate and route the 6 ft cord to a nearby outlet; the set includes eight adhesive wire clips to keep the cord tidy and straight down the wall. For hardwired, mount the fixture to a junction box and connect the supply — this route is best handled by a qualified electrician. All mounting hardware is included.

Does it come with bulbs, and how does the dimmer work?

Yes — the set includes two dimmable LED bulbs, 6W each and equivalent to a 60W incandescent, at 2700K and 620 lumens. They are E26 base and matched to the fixture's rotary switch, so dimming runs smoothly from 0 to 100% without flicker. If you ever replace them, use dimmable LED bulbs so the dimmer continues to work properly.

How much wall space do the fixtures take?

The fabric shade measures 5.5 inches across the top and 9.4 inches at the base, standing 6.4 inches tall. The two-piece arm totals 11.9 inches and extends up to 17.3 inches from the wall, so plan roughly 18 inches of clearance from the mounting point if you intend to swing the arm fully out. Beside a bed or armchair, leave an arm's reach of wall on each side of the fixture so the swing is usable.

How should I clean and maintain them?

Switch the fixture off and let the bulb cool, then dust the fabric shade with a soft brush or the upholstery attachment on a vacuum. The brushed brass body wipes clean with a dry cloth; avoid polishing compounds, which can lift the brushed texture. Do not soak or launder the fabric shade.

How is the set shipped and how long does it take?

Orders are processed within 3–5 business days and standard delivery takes 7–15 business days, shipped in protective foam-in-box packaging with tracking provided. Both fixtures, both bulbs, the mounting hardware and the wire clips arrive together.

What are the return and warranty terms?

Returns are accepted within 30 days on unused items in original packaging. The 24-month warranty covers structural components and the light module against manufacturing defects under normal use. If something arrives damaged, reach out to us directly and we will sort out a replacement.
