Bubble Crystal Column Wall Light, Black Die Cast Aluminum Sconce

An entry does not need a large light to feel special. A small fixture with a little sparkle can do more for a front door than a big lantern, giving guests something to notice and making the house feel cared for.

The Bubble Crystal Column Wall Light sets a solid crystal bar filled with tiny bubbles beneath a squared black die cast aluminum arm. An integrated LED shines down through the crystal in warm white 3000K. The 9.3 inch size has a 2 inch wide crystal, projects 4.7 inches and uses 10W for about 985 lumens. The 11.8 inch size has a 2.8 inch crystal, projects 5.9 inches and uses 18W for about 1,758 lumens. It is hardwired and rated IP65.

What makes the crystal column stand out

The sparkle is the point. Light enters the crystal from the top, and every bubble inside catches it, so the column glitters along its length instead of shining as a single beam.

A soft glow reaches the wall too. Around the crystal, the wall picks up a gentle warm light, enough to mark the door and the house number.

The squared arm keeps it modern. The black die cast aluminum plate and arm have clean, flat edges that suit modern and transitional homes, and the crystal reads as a clear accent in daylight.

It is built for the weather. The IP65 rating covers rain, snow and dust, so it can sit on an open wall as well as a covered porch.

The two sizes let it scale. The smaller one suits a single door or a narrow wall, and the larger one gives more light and a wider crystal for a bigger entry.

The light quality is kind to the house. Warm white 3000K brings out the tone of brick, wood and painted doors, and the crystal softens the LED so the glow on the wall is gentle. With a lighting area of about 54 to 171 sq ft, the larger size lights a porch and a set of steps comfortably.

Where it looks best, around the house

• Beside the front door. A pair of crystals frames the entry with a soft sparkle.
• Between windows. A row of lights adds rhythm to a facade.
• Garage walls. A light on each side marks the drive.
• Porches. A jewel like accent near the seating.
• Balconies. A small, bright detail on a narrow wall.

It suits modern, transitional and glam leaning homes, and it adds a lighter touch to a plain white or gray facade.

Choosing the size and placement

The 9.3 inch size suits a single door, a side entry or a narrow strip of wall. The 11.8 inch size suits a larger front door, a double entry or a garage, where the extra light and wider crystal hold their own.

Mount the lights with the crystal at or just above eye level so the sparkle is easy to see.

A few guidelines help:

• Use a pair on either side of the door for a balanced entry.
• Keep every light at the same height.
• Repeat them between windows for a steady rhythm.
• Plan the wiring with an electrician before the wall is finished or clad.

All required mounting hardware and instructions are included, and each light mounts to a standard outdoor junction box.

Layering it with other lighting

A decorative wall light is the jewelry of outdoor lighting. Pair it with low path lights so the walk is lit at ground level, and browse the outdoor wall sconces collection for more entry styles.

Keep the light color warm across the facade so the sparkle of the crystal feels part of one welcoming scene.

Let the crystal be the only sparkle. Simple path lights and plain house numbers keep the entry from feeling busy.

Looking after it is easy. Switch it off and let it cool, wipe the aluminum with a soft, dry cloth, and clean the crystal with glass cleaner on the cloth, never sprayed on the fixture.

Is the crystal column right for your space?

This light is a strong fit if you:

• Want a small light with real sparkle at the door.
• Like a clean, modern black arm with a crystal accent.
• Need a light rated for rain and snow.
• Want warm white light on a single door or a larger entry.

It may not suit a rustic or traditional home that calls for a classic lantern, or anyone who wants a large, bright light for a whole yard.
