Wall Sconces & Brackets
Wall Bracket Whimsy
Ever heard of a "wall bracket"? Until we got our hands on a few old lighting catalogues, neither had we. There's nary a "sconce" in those indexes.
"Wall bracket" was what our great grandparents called classic fixtures like the St. Helens and Fields, and the name stuck as more modern lighting styles like the Dorena and Aloha were introduced.
Today, most folks call them sconces. Does this matter? Nope. We just think it's fun to say wall brackets - it feels a bit like time travel.
Tips: Many wall brackets work indoors and outdoors. Check specs for UL Damp or Wet locations.
