wall sconce

Mounted light fixture

A wall sconce is a light fixture mounted on a wall rather than ceiling or floor.

Sconces typically direct light upward, downward, or both, and are often decorative as well as functional: The hallway was lit by brass wall sconces.

They range from simple utilitarian designs to ornate fixtures in formal spaces.
