wall lamp

Vertical surface light

A wall lamp is a light fixture mounted directly to a wall rather than hanging from the ceiling or standing on the floor.

Wall lamps provide ambient or accent lighting and often serve decorative purposes: The bedroom had matching wall lamps on either side of the headboard.

Also called a sconce.
