No — that's the main advantage of this sconce. The plug-in design means you mount the back plate to the wall with screws (no junction box required), plug the 59″ cord into any standard outlet, and you're done. It's an ideal no-hardwiring wall light for renters, apartments, and anyone who wants flexibility to reposition the lamp later.

The G9 bulb is not included and must be purchased separately. A G9 LED capsule (3–5 W, warm white 2700 K) is recommended — it runs cool, lasts longer, and produces the softest glow through the resin shade. G9 Edison-style bulbs also work and give a warmer, more amber tint. Avoid halogen G9s in this fitting as they run very hot. See our G9 bulb guide for more detail.

Yes. The lamp ships with a white 150 cm / 59″ cord that blends easily against light-colored walls. For a cleaner look, adhesive cord channels (raceway covers, available at hardware stores) let you run the cord flush along the wall and baseboard. If 59″ isn't enough reach to your nearest outlet, cord extension is available — contact us before ordering.

The Pleated Resin sconce is proportioned for intimate spaces. It works beautifully as a bedside wall lamp flanking a headboard, as a reading light in a hallway alcove, or as accent lighting in a living room corner. Mount the center of the shade at roughly eye level when seated (about 60–66″ from the floor) for the most comfortable reading light.

Yes, the lamp runs on AC 110–240 V and plugs into any standard US outlet. The built-in push button switch controls on/off. Dimming is not supported — the push button is a simple toggle, not a dimmer. If you need dimming capability, a dimmable G9 bulb paired with a plug-in dimmer adapter (inline cord dimmer) may work depending on the bulb — test before permanent installation.
