Plug In Wall Lights

Plug In Wall Lights, Sconce Style Without the Wiring

Plug-in wall lights sit somewhere between lighting and art. Strong silhouettes, articulated swing and wing arms, glass shades and warm metal finishes give them plenty of visual pull, while the standard plug keeps the practical side easy. A plug-in wall lamp or plug-in wall sconce gives you all that sconce-style character with a standard plug, making it a clever fit for renters, room refreshes and spaces that need a little more glow.

Mountable Wall Lamps, Renter-friendly Plug-In Options

A mountable wall lamp gives you all the interior design punch of a hardwired wall mounted lamp with none of the commitment. They bring shape and shadow to bedrooms, reading corners, and living spaces, then come with you when it's time to move. Let your inner lighting designer loose. No hardwiring, no electrician, just mount it, plug in and glow. Mounting does take a couple of screws into the wall, so if renting you should check with their landlord first. Plug-in wall lights for the bedroom work especially well either side of the bed, and reading lights with swing arms are a natural fit for bedsides and reading corners.

Managing the Cord on a Plug-In Wall Light

A visible cord is part of the plug-in light equation, but it doesn't have to steal the scene. Wall lights with plugs usually come with a fabric or plastic cord long enough to reach a nearby power point. Run it neatly down the wall, tuck it close to furniture, or use a cord cover painted to match the surface.

Plug-In vs Hardwired Wall Lights

Plug-in wall lights give you plenty of flexibility now, with some designs also available in hardwired versions if you want a more permanent setup later. Hardwired versions must be installed by a licensed electrician, and the full wall lights range covers hardwired styles for every room.
