Brass Wall Lamp with Glass Shade: Bedroom & Hallway Guide

A tall, narrow wall lamp in brass with a textured glass cylinder — built for vertical space. This fixture measures 20.1 in (51 cm) high and 4.9 in (12.5 cm) across, mounts directly to the wall, and uses a G9 socket (bulb not included). It solves a specific problem: rooms where a table lamp has no table, and hallways where a ceiling light leaves the walls dark. It fits best beside a bed, along a corridor, or as a single accent on an empty living room wall. It is designed for indoor dry locations.

What You Get, in Plain Terms

• One wall-mounted lamp with a brass body and a mold-blown glass shade
• G9 socket — you supply the bulb, so you choose the brightness and color temperature
• 20.1 in / 51 cm height — a vertical silhouette, not a wide sconce
• 5 finish options: Brass, Black, Nickel, Old White, and Clear glass
• Hardwired installation recommended by a licensed electrician

Because the bulb is not included, the final look is yours to set. A warm 2700K G9 LED reads as classic hotel lighting; a 3000K bulb reads cleaner and more modern in a hallway.

Design and Materials

The fixture pairs a brass dome with a textured glass cylinder. The dome caps the light source and pushes the glow outward and down the glass, while the surface texture of the glass breaks up the beam so you get soft, diffused light rather than a hard pinpoint — the reason this style works well at eye level in a hallway.

Brass is a living material. Left unlacquered and handled over years, it warms and dulls slightly; wiped with a dry soft cloth it holds its original tone. If you want a strictly uniform metal look long-term, the Black or Nickel finish is the lower-maintenance choice; Old White suits painted trim and cottage-style interiors.

Where This Lamp Works Best

Bedroom — bedside or vanity

A wall lamp replaces the bedside table lamp and frees the nightstand surface. For a reading light, mount the fixture so the shade sits roughly at shoulder height when you are seated — commonly 48–60 in (122–152 cm) from the floor, or about 20–24 in above the mattress top. If you install a pair flanking the bed, center each one 8–12 in outside the mattress edge so nobody knocks it getting up.

Hallway — the strongest use case

Corridors are where vertical wall lamps earn their keep: they light the walkway at human height instead of pooling light on the ceiling. A practical rule is one fixture every 8–10 ft (2.4–3 m) along a long wall, or one on each side of a doorway. Keep the center of the fixture around 60–66 in (152–168 cm) above the floor so it clears shoulders and door swings.

Living room and hotel-style accents

Use a single lamp on a narrow wall section, at the end of a sofa, or framing a piece of art. If you want a matched pair without symmetry, stagger the heights slightly — it reads as intentional rather than misaligned.

Bathrooms — read the label first

This fixture is specified for indoor dry locations. A bathroom is a high-humidity environment, so treat it as conditional: only place it in a well-ventilated area away from direct water contact (splash zones at tubs and showers are out), and check with your electrician about local code before installing near a sink or mirror.

Specifications

Measure the wall before you order: 20.1 in of height is taller than most people expect from a sconce, so check it against door frames, wainscoting lines, and the underside of any wall cabinet.

Choosing a G9 Bulb: What Actually Matters

The G9 socket takes small pin-base bulbs, and the bulb you pick changes how the fixture reads far more than the fixture itself:

• Color temperature: 2700K for warm, amber-leaning light (bedroom, hospitality feel); 3000K for a crisper neutral (hallway, task use); 4000K only if you genuinely want a cool, clinical look.
• Beam and shape: a small globe or capsule G9 suits a cylindrical glass shade better than a wide reflector bulb, which can throw light unevenly through the texture.
• CRI: if the wall is near a mirror or artwork, favor a high-CRI bulb — skin tones and paint colors look correct under it.
• Dimmability: the product listing does not state a dimming specification. If dimming is essential to your plan, confirm with support before ordering rather than assuming.

Start with one bulb at the color temperature you think you want, live with it for a week, then buy the rest. It is the cheapest way to avoid re-buying a whole hallway's worth of lamps.

One Lamp or a Pair?

The shape decides this for you. At 4.9 in across, it is a slim fixture, which makes a pair feel calm rather than crowded — but a single unit is enough in a small hallway or beside a reading chair.

• Pair: flanking a bed, a mirror, or a front door. Best visual return per dollar in a bedroom.
• Single: narrow wall between windows, end of a corridor, above a side table or console.
• Three or more: long hallway or stair wall, spaced evenly. Keep the spacing identical — uneven gaps are the one thing people notice immediately.

Finish Guide

Before You Order: A Short Checklist

1. Confirm power. Is there a wall box or existing fixture wiring where you want the lamp? If not, factor in an electrician's visit — hardwiring is not a plug-in job.
2. Check the height. 20.1 in tall, so mask the footprint on the wall with painter's tape and look at it for a day.
3. Decide the bulb upfront. G9, not included. Order bulbs with the lamp so the first evening is not a disappointment.
4. Choose the finish against your existing metals. Door handles, faucets, and cabinet pulls set the tone; matching them is easier than coordinating.
5. Plan for a pair if the wall is symmetrical. Ordering two at once avoids a batch difference in tone later.

Frequently Asked Questions

What bulb does this wall lamp use?

A G9 socket. Bulbs are not included, which lets you choose the brightness and color temperature. A G9 LED in 2700K–3000K is the usual choice for bedrooms and hallways.

Can it be installed in a bathroom?

The fixture is designed for indoor dry locations. Bathrooms are humid, so installation there is conditional — place it in a well-ventilated spot away from direct water contact and confirm local electrical code with your installer.

How high should I mount it?

For a bedside lamp, roughly 48–60 in (122–152 cm) from the floor, or 20–24 in above the mattress. For a hallway, around 60–66 in (152–168 cm) to the center of the fixture so it clears shoulders and door swings.

Is professional installation required?

The brand recommends installation by a licensed electrician to ensure safe and correct mounting. It is a hardwired wall fixture, so plan for that.

Is it certified?

The product listing states UL Certified, ETL Listed, CE Approved, RoHS Compliant, and FCC Certified. Those claims come from the brand's own product documentation — check the label on the unit you receive if certification is a project requirement.

How many do I need for a hallway?

A practical starting point is one every 8–10 ft (2.4–3 m) along a long wall, or one on each side of a doorway. Shorter halls often need only two.

The Short Version

This is a slim, 20.1-inch brass wall lamp with a textured glass cylinder and a G9 socket — the right pick when you need light at human height in a bedroom, corridor, or accent wall, and the wrong pick if you want a wide, wash-the-ceiling sconce or a plug-in fixture. Order the bulb with it, tape the height on the wall first, and buy the pair if the wall is symmetrical.
