Our lovely Barkley Outdoor Wall Sconce features Mission design influences that will easily accentuate any exterior design in your home. The sconce features an elongated shade that is gently flared at the bottom. Each side features 4 large panels of sunny amber at its corners. These are bisected by a cross design of clear frosted glass that is outlined in dynamic black filigree. A pair of arrowhead shaped glass jewels at the center of each panel adds an extra Mission era touch and a bold splash of color when Barkley is illuminated. Barkley hangs from a square metal backing plate and wall arm, both finished in rich black to match the filigree. Our Barkley Outdoor Wall Sconce is a fantastic addition to a porch or patio area that will make bold design statement for years to come.
Types of lighting: Lighting falls into three categories: ambient, task and accent lighting. Well-lit rooms feature a combination of the three, allowing you to be comfortable without squinting or straining your eyes. The number and types of fixtures will vary with your room sizes, décor and personal preferences.
You have the perfect lamp and you've carefully chosen a shade for it, but what kind of light bulb should you choose? You may not think much about light bulbs, but the kind you choose has the greatest impact on the overall effect and effectiveness of your lamp. Many people make the mistake of buying a light bulb more powerful than they need for a particular lamp. This unfortunately can make a lamp so intense or distracting that it is rarely used. The simple solution to this problem is to use a smaller bulb. Most table and accent lamps require no more than a 60-watt bulb, even if they are rated for something much higher. While it's very important to never exceed the recommended bulb wattage for a lamp, there is nothing wrong with using a less-powerful bulb.
Aside from wattage, there are other factors to consider when choosing a light bulb. Light bulbs come in four basic types: incandescent, fluorescent, compact fluorescent and halogen.
