This fixture uses the long thin T10 light bulb. If you wonder what a T10 light bulb is just search Amazon.com with T10 Light Bulb in your search window and you will see pictures of long thin hotdog shaped bulbs. When I was young these bulbs were primarily used in refrigerators and other home appliances of the day. The T10 bulb despite its shape does not put out much light compared to the average CFL. The light from two T10 bulbs might be adequate for people who just need to see there way through the hallway or room. The two T10 bulb's used by this Minka-Lavery Opal Glass 13 1/2" High Wall Sconce is in a word adequate for the most basic use but it is not a high powered light source. The Minka-Lavery Opal Glass 13 1/2" High Wall Sconce is meant more as accent lighting not task lighting. In a bathroom application this Minka-Lavery Opal Glass 13 1/2" High Wall Sconce is not suitable for shaving unless you are rather adventurous or have very young \ very good eyesight. If this were the sole source of light in your bathroom I'd be worried since this light is best used for setting a mood not setting things straight. If you use this light in a bathroom or any situation where things must be seen then make sure it is augmented by strong overhead light sources that provide ample task oriented lighting. The Minka-Lavery Opal Glass 13 1/2" High Wall Sconce offers the kind of soft light you want in a hallway when you don't need a powerful bright light that might disturb lite sleepers.
The Minka-Lavery Opal Glass 13 1/2" High Wall Sconce is very well made of solid metal that is well machined. There are no rough edges or areas of cheap or shoddy workmanship observed on my specimen of this light. The wires on this light are thick meaning they can carry higher voltage and amps needed by two 100 watt max bulbs. The Minka-Lavery Opal Glass 13 1/2" High Wall Sconce is shown in its vertical configuration but can be easily mounted in a horizontal configuration without any modification beyond changing the install axis from vertical to horizontal. The glass shade is of fine quality thick well made without bubbles or distortions that weaken the glass. The frosting on the glass shade covers the entire surface in a uniform manner. The lamp is heavy not thin and flimsy. Properly used the clean lines and minimalist form of this Minka-Lavery Opal Glass 13 1/2" High Wall Sconce will add a distinctive modern charm to any room or hallway. The quality build of this Minka-Lavery Opal Glass 13 1/2" High Wall Sconce will ensure this light will serve you well till you just get tired of seeing it many years from now.
