Wall Mount
Frequently Asked Questions
A wall mount light is a fixture attached to a wall — and in this collection specifically, it means large-scale arm fixtures: 16-to-18-inch shades carried on long, hooked arms that extend the light well away from the wall and aim it downward. These are the biggest wall fixtures in the catalog, sized for garage faces, barn walls, commercial frontage, and other large surfaces where standard sconce-sized fixtures would look undersized. Three designs are offered: the Warehouse 18", Deep Bowl 16", and Cafe 18".
In this catalog, the difference is scale and reach: wall mounts are large fixtures — 16-to-18-inch shades on long, extended arms — while sconces are smaller fixtures that sit close to the wall, typically with compact shades. A sconce lights the area immediately around it at eye level; a wall mount throws light down over a wide area from a substantial shade held away from the wall. Use sconces at doors, hallways, and bedsides; use wall mounts on garage faces, barns, and large frontage.
For a wide garage face, choose a large-format fixture — the 16-to-18-inch shades in this collection are sized so the fixture reads proportionally from the street on a big, unbroken wall. Smaller 8-to-12-inch fixtures suit single doors and tighter walls, but they visually disappear on a two-car garage face. Placement options include centering one large fixture above the door or flanking the opening with a pair. Compare each fixture's listed dimensions and projection against your wall before ordering.
The collection includes three shade styles, each on a long hooked arm: the Warehouse 18" wall mount (the classic flat-brim barn-light profile) in Forest Green, the Deep Bowl 16" wall mount (a deeper rounded shade) in Forest Green, and the Cafe 18" wall mount (a smooth dome) in Navy. All three share the same large-scale, extended-arm format — the differences are shade silhouette and finish. Full dimensions for each fixture are on its individual product listing.
Yes — large wall mount fixtures suit high-ceilinged interiors where standard wall lights would look undersized: converted warehouses, double-height entries, restaurants, retail spaces, and lofts. The same qualities that make them work on a garage face — big shade, long arm, strong downward throw — give them presence on a tall interior wall. As with any installation, check the fixture's listed dimensions and projection against your wall space, and refer to the product listing for the fixture's full specifications.
The arm length determines where the light actually lands: a long, hooked arm positions the shade further from the wall, so illumination falls out over the area where people stand and walk instead of washing straight down the siding. On garages and entrances, that means the driveway apron or threshold is lit, not just the wall surface. The extended arm also gives the fixture its architectural silhouette. Each product listing includes the fixture's projection measurement so you can plan clearances around doors and trim.
