Sconce Lighting Hack

Today I am sharing a really awesome hack I LOVE using in clients homes! I am definitely not the founder of this brilliant trick but I am a huge fan and wanted to share it with all of you!

Sconce lighting is all the rage right now and I am LOVING IT!! You might be wondering but Emily I don’t have a hard wire option where I want to hang a sconce light fixture and I definitely do not want to pay an electrician to add one! *Time for the hack*

You DO NOT need hard wired electricity! You just need the following:

A sconce light (cannot have a glass shade)
Brilliant Evolution Battery operated remote controlled lights
Velcro

Yep! That’s right 🙂 Let me show you:

Step 1

First you will need to purchase a sconce light fixture that does not have a glass shade. This is because we will be putting the battery operated light inside the shade and if the shade is clear glass, the plastic battery operated light would show.

I rounded up my favorite glass free sconces below:

Step 2

Choose the perfect space for your sconce light/lights. Maybe that is above your fireplace, beside your bed, or for me I chose to put mine above my small gallery wall in our breakfast nook area.

Step 3

Secure the battery opterated light inside the sconce shade with velcro.

Using velcro here will allow for you to easily replace the battery when it dies.

Step 4

Hang the sconce light using the base bracket that comes with your light.

Step 5

Test it out! Use your remote and turn that baby on! Now these light’s aren’t going to light an entire room but they will give your beautiful sconce function!
