A wall gets two soft triangles of light instead of one flat glare, and the fixture throwing them looks closer to furniture hardware than to a utility fitting. The Vireo Metallic Wall Sconce puts an integrated LED at the top and another at the bottom of a slim aluminum bar, finished in gold, coffee, or gray.
Light color is picked at checkout rather than fixed by the fixture, so the same sconce suits a bedside and a stairwell.
