Where to Mount a Wall Lamp

• Living rooms and hallways: 60–66 in from the floor to the center of the fixture, spaced 6–8 ft apart.
• Bedside reading: 30–36 in above the mattress, positioned so the light falls on the page rather than in your eyes. A swing arm lamp is the most flexible option here.
• Bathroom vanity: either side of the mirror at 60–66 in from the floor, 28–40 in apart.
• Stairways and corridors: one fixture every 8–10 ft, mounted at a consistent height along the run.

Wall Lamps — Common Questions

How high should a wall lamp be mounted?
60–66 inches from the floor to the center of the fixture in living rooms and hallways. Beside a bed, mount 30–36 inches above the mattress instead.

What is the difference between a wall lamp and a wall sconce?
In practice they are the same thing — a light fixture mounted on the wall. "Sconce" tends to describe more decorative, shade-forward designs, while "wall lamp" often implies a functional or adjustable fixture such as a swing arm reading light.

Do plug-in wall lamps need an electrician?
No. A plug-in wall lamp mounts to the wall and runs a cord to a nearby outlet, usually with a switch on the cord. Only hardwired fixtures need an electrician when there is no existing junction box.

Which wall lamp is best for reading in bed?
A swing arm or articulating model, mounted 30–36 inches above the mattress so you can direct the light onto the page without disturbing anyone beside you.

Can wall lamps be used in bathrooms?
Yes, if the fixture is damp-rated. Mount either side of the mirror rather than above it, and keep it clear of direct shower spray.

Are bulbs included?
Yes — fixtures ship with their bulbs.
