With the advent of electricity, they have become even more diverse. Thanks to its design and method of attachment, the wall lamp creates a special atmosphere. Sconces on a flexible leg perform several tasks at once.

The functionality of the wall lamp directly depends on how the switch is arranged. Some models of sconces are equipped with a built-in switch. These models are quite convenient to use in the bedroom - for bedside lighting. In some wall lamps there is no built-in switch, so they are more appropriate for lighting a living room or a corridor. Lamps in these rooms are usually located high, so the switch is placed on the plane of the wall.

Dispersers for wall sconces are made of various materials - for example, from glass, plastic, fabric, paper. Each of them can transmit light (to one degree or another). They all have their pros and cons. For example, some attract dust, others are easy to clean, and there are so dangerous that you can get burned about them. The mood that reigns in the room will depend on the color of the lampshade.
