| I need two wall sconces that will go very high up on a 2-story living room wall. The original home owner put outlets 12 feet up on the wall for picture lights. I could really use additional light in the room and so I want to hardwire some sconces up there. The outlets are already wired to a wall switch.
What type of light should I be searching for? Searching "Wall sconces" gets me a lot of vanity-type lights that would look silly 12 feet up. I thing I want something that looks like a half-bowl with upward light? Does this type of fixture have a name? I think it also has to be big, right? Any size recommendations? I think it needs to be at least 18" wide. |

| would you consider some track lighting to cross the wall? you could angle some heads up and some down or shine into the room? if not check out this half-bowl white fixture== http://www.lightinguniverse.com/wall-sconces/whitfield-lighting-eswl65 53-energy-star-wall-sconce_g1043160.html?isku=7957499&linkloc=cataLogP roductItemsImage energy star rated but it will mainly wash the upper wall and 12 ft tall--you won't get anything close to the floor... this is more specific style --contemporary-- that site is pretty easy to search--by type/size/price-- don't know what metal/color you might have going on in your room but take it from someone who just bought a house and the owners had multiple typs of lighting w/different metal finishes and styles |
