On this week’s blog, we give you all the steps you need to install an A-19 ceramic wall sconce. The directions are pretty straight-forward and hassle-free, and can be applied to other wall sconces such as those from Justice Design Group. Both manufacturer’s products are available for sale via the Louie Lighting website.
A19s Bisque wall sconces can be painted to match any decor!
For the DIY novice, we recommend installation by a licensed electrician in order to avoid personal injury or property damage. All fixtures need to be installed in accordance with applicable installation code(s), by a person familiar with the construction and operation of the product and the hazards that may be involved.
Caution: Make sure the maximum wattage noted on fixture is not exceeded.
Parts Needed:
A- Knurled Nut
B- Ceramic Fixture
C- Brass Washer

1. Turn off power at the main breaker box prior to starting installation of the wall mounted sconce.
