The height of your wall sconce next to your bed will depends on your preferences and your height. However, it is recommended that you should put the sconce about 30 to 36 inches above the top of the mattress and no more than a foot from the edges of the bed. Another option is to place the sconce about 6 to 12 inches above your shoulder length when sitting on the bed.
Installing a wall sconce without wiring is quite simple and does not take long to do. Before doing the installation, gather the necessary equipment.
Several alternatives for traditional wall sconces exist on the market today.
To avoid wiring, purchase battery-operated or internal LED driver sconce lights. Both types allow simple attachments to a surface without wiring. You can also use puck lights or battery lights in wall sconce fixtures.
To do this, first install the wall bracket of the fixture and put each face plate on top of the bracket. Make sure the wires are hidden inside so it is flush with the wall.
Then, attach the lamp shade without the light bulbs.
Once the shade is on, take a puck light and screw it into the bulb socket. This will alleviate from having to wire a wall sconce.
After completing these steps, the installation is complete!
