Is the walnut finish real wood?

No. The backplate is sculpted resin with a walnut wood-grain finish—not solid wood. This keeps it accessible in price while delivering the visual warmth of walnut. For solid walnut, see our Forma Wood collection.

Aperture Wall Sconce – Wall Lamp

Q: What rooms is Aperture best for?

Aperture's compact 5.5″ × 15″ size fits hallways, bedside flanking, narrow consoles, and powder-room walls. The recessed backplate bounces light across the wall, doubling visual brightness without extra bulbs.

Q: What bulb does Aperture use?

One G9 LED bulb (sold separately). We recommend 25–40W equivalent in 2700–3000K warm white. Avoid halogen G9s; they run hot. For dimming, choose a Triac-dimmable G9 LED.

Walnut-Finish Resin · Matte Black Steel · G9

Aperture Wall Sconce — a walnut-finish capsule with a frosted globe

Aperture is a wall sconce that reads like a small framed pendant — a vertical capsule backplate in walnut-finish resin, with a slim matte-black steel rod descending to a frosted glass globe at the bottom. The capsule's recessed interior catches the warm glow and reflects it across the wall for a brighter, softer wash of light.

Compact at W 5.5″ x H 15″ / W 14cm x H 38cm — sized for hallways, bedside flanking, narrow consoles, and powder-room walls. Hardwired installation by a licensed electrician. One G9 bulb.

Walnut-Finish Capsule

Sculpted resin backplate with a warm walnut wood-grain finish — the look of natural walnut at an accessible price, with consistent grain and no maintenance.

Matte Black Steel Rod

Slim vertical rod and circular ring frame in matte black powder-coated steel — architectural contrast against the warm wood-grain backdrop.

Hardwired Installation

Connects to a standard wall junction box — requires a licensed electrician. G9 socket with a frosted glass globe diffuser.

What it's made of

Backplate

Sculpted resin with walnut wood-grain finish — not solid wood

Hardware

Matte black powder-coated steel — rod, ring frame, wall mount

Diffuser

Frosted opal glass globe — diffuses warm light evenly

Light Source

1 × G9 bulb

Walnut look, not solid wood. The warm walnut tone is a wood-grain finish on a sculpted resin backplate. This keeps Aperture at an accessible price compared to solid-walnut sconces, while still delivering the visual warmth of walnut. Avoid abrasive cleaners or alcohol-based solvents, which can dull the finish.

Installation

HARDWIRED · LICENSED ELECTRICIAN RECOMMENDED

Wall Junction Box Installation

Aperture connects to a standard recessed wall junction box (single-gang or 4″ round). Total fixture weight is about 2.2 lb / 1 kg — well within any modern junction box's load rating. The wall mount is anchored at the top of the capsule. We recommend a licensed electrician for installation, particularly in bathrooms and powder rooms where moisture exposure should be assessed before final placement.

Renovating a hallway, bedroom, or powder room? Aperture is best installed during electrical rough-in, before drywall is finished. If you're retrofitting an existing wall, your electrician will likely add or relocate a junction box at the planned mount point — typically a 30–60 minute job per sconce.

Bulb

G9 · TWO-PIN BASE

1 × G9 Bulb

G9 is a small two-pin base — about the size of a USB plug — standard for compact wall sconces. A 2700–3000K warm-white bulb reads beautifully through the frosted globe and complements the walnut-finish backplate. Use a low-heat G9 bulb and avoid halogen G9s — they run hot next to the resin backplate. For dimming, choose a Triac-dimmable G9 bulb and pair it with a standard Triac wall dimmer.

Spec Sheet

Frequently asked

Is the wood real?

No — the warm walnut tone is a wood-grain finish on a sculpted resin backplate, not solid wood. This keeps Aperture at an accessible price while still delivering the visual warmth of walnut.

What's a G9 bulb?

G9 is a small two-pin base — about the size of a USB plug — standard for compact wall sconces. A 2700–3000K warm-white bulb reads beautifully through the frosted globe. Use a low-heat G9 bulb and avoid halogen G9s, which run hot next to the resin backplate.

Can I install Aperture myself?

We recommend installation by a licensed electrician. The wiring connection is straightforward (line, neutral, ground to a wall junction box), but proper leveling and secure anchoring matter on a 15″ vertical sconce.

Where does Aperture look best?

The 15″ vertical proportion makes Aperture ideal for narrow surfaces: hallway accents (in pairs, 6–8 ft apart), bedside flanking either side of a bed, powder-room walls, and home-office accent walls. It is less suited to oversized living-room walls, where it would read undersized.

How does the walnut-finish resin age compared to real walnut?

Differently — and more predictably. Real walnut develops a deeper patina over years. Walnut-finish resin holds its color and surface stable with no oiling, waxing, or humidity concerns.

Can I use it in a bathroom?

Yes — Aperture is damp-rated and suits bathroom and powder-room walls away from direct shower spray. We recommend installing it at least 24 inches from the shower or tub.

Can I dim Aperture?

Yes — pair a Triac-dimmable G9 bulb with a standard Triac wall dimmer. Test the combination before final installation.

How do I clean it?

Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid alcohol, ammonia, bleach, and abrasive sponges — these can dull the walnut wood-grain finish over time.

Is Aperture certified for North America and Europe?

Yes. It is compatible with North America, Saudi Arabia, Europe, and Australia certification and operates on AC 110–240V.

Sizing & questions

Here is what most clients ask before choosing theirs.

What rooms is Aperture best for?+

Aperture's compact W 5.5″ x H 15″ size fits hallways, bedside flanking, narrow consoles, and powder-room walls. The recessed backplate reflects light across the wall for a brighter, softer glow.

What bulb does Aperture use?+

One G9 bulb; 2700–3000K warm white is recommended. Use a low-heat G9 bulb and avoid halogen G9s, which run hot. For dimming, choose a Triac-dimmable G9 bulb.

Does Aperture require a licensed electrician?+

Yes. Aperture is hardwired and connects to a standard wall junction box. Installation typically takes 30–60 minutes per sconce. We recommend a licensed electrician, especially in bathrooms where moisture must be assessed.

How do I clean the walnut-finish backplate?+

Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and alcohol-based solvents, which can dull the finish. The frosted glass globe cleans with standard glass cleaner.

Beautiful!

This wall lamp has a very creative design, and the effect after installation is fantastic. It's perfect for my bedroom.

Pretty but dimmer

I really love the wooden back panel and the matte black hardware. It looks great in the bedroom.

Perfect for hallway

I love the walnut back panel. It looks both warm and modern.

Great light

The frosted glass emits a soft light. It took about 30 minutes to install. The wood finish is a bit darker than it looks in the pictures, but it still looks great in the stairwell.

Nice but...

It looks beautiful in the bathroom too; the light is comfortable and not glaring. The quality is also very good.

Perfect

The wall lamp was easy to install. It's really great value for money.

Beautiful sconce

I bought it for my bedroom and I'm really happy with it. The wooden back panel is beautiful, and the light is warm.

Love it!

It looks perfect in our hallway.
