What is a wall light? What is the difference between a sconce and a wall lamp?
The terms “wall light” and “wall sconce” are often used interchangeably to refer to a lamp mounted on a wall. Technically, a wall light has a covered light source, usually glass, while a sconce does not. However, these technical differences are not often considered in modern lighting design and manufacturing, where sconces and wall lamps are often grouped together.
