Appliques murales 2 lumières DEL à albâtre à intensité variable (ensemble de 2)

The alabaster diffuses the LED into a warm glow that looks far more expensive than the price would suggest. The natural veining and translucence of the stone are truly beautiful when lit. They seem like a piece of art rather than a wall light. When installing, they have additional support structure that requires screws in the wall about 9" above and below the junction box. My location had brick, so I had to rent a hammer drill to make that work, but it was worth the effort! They make quite a statement in my den, and I'm very happy with how they turned out! A few practical notes I want to call out so you know what to expect: each sconce is actually made from three separate pieces of alabaster joined together. That construction is how the maker delivers a large sconce at a fraction of the cost of a single, carved piece of alabaster. In the stock photos the veining looks continuous. In my real-life pieces the patterns of the adjoining sections don’t line up exactly, and the seams are visible. It’s not a dealbreaker for me, but if you want perfectly matched, continuous stone you should know these are assembled from multiple slabs. The fixture is substantial and the manufacturer wisely includes an extra mounting plate plus drywall screws to reinforce the install. Given the weight I’ll be using the reinforcement plate. I'm going to install these on brick, but if I were mounting these on drywall, I would aim for at least one stud. Sometimes integrated is ugly, but this one gives an even wash of light, and the 3000K warmth is perfect and cozy without being amber. If you’re comparing value, these are a really smart buy. Genuine alabaster and solid-brass backplate give the look and presence of a high-end fixture without the extreme high-end price. They’re not flawless in hand because the seams and non-matching veining are more obvious than the marketing photos, but once illuminated they’re stunning and add a warm, luxe light to any space. I’ll update this review after I get them mounted, but for now five stars for style, value, and the gorgeous quality of the light when it’s turned on. Highly recommended!
