The piece

Rocker Arm Wall Sconce · Plug-In · Aluminum Silver · 3 Arm Lengths · E26 / E27

The Brady is a rocker arm wall sconce — the lamp head pivots on its arm mount, allowing precise directional adjustment without repositioning the fixture on the wall. The aluminum body keeps the assembly lightweight and resistant to heat; the silver finish is consistent across the arm, joint, and head. Three arm-length configurations — compact (W 12 cm), medium (W 50 cm), and extended (W 72 cm) — offer different reaches from the wall surface, suiting different installation positions and task requirements.

As a plug-in sconce, the Brady requires no hardwiring — the cord routes from the wall plate to a standard wall outlet. This makes it particularly suited to rental spaces, bedside positions where a switched outlet is already present, and any room without existing wall wiring at the intended lamp location. The E26 socket accepts standard bulbs, giving full control over brightness, color temperature, and beam angle through bulb choice.

Rocker Pivot

Lamp head pivots on its arm joint — redirect light without moving the fixture.

Plug-In

No hardwiring. Cord to standard outlet — install anywhere near a socket.

Aluminum Body

Lightweight, heat-resistant aluminum — durable and easy to reposition.

All versions: silver aluminum · D 14.5 cm · H 12 cm. The W dimension is the arm reach from the wall plate.

Plug-In — No Hardwiring Required

Mount the wall plate at your preferred position using the supplied hardware. The cord routes from the plate to a standard wall outlet — run it vertically down the wall or conceal behind furniture. No electrical work is required, and the fixture can be repositioned easily if needed. A cord cover (available at hardware stores) gives the cleanest wall finish.

Bulbs are not included. The Brady uses a standard E26 (US) or E27 (international) socket. For task and reading use, a 6–10W LED spotlight or directional bulb at 3000–4000K neutral white gives the clearest, most focused output — neutral white reduces eye strain during extended reading better than warm white. A standard frosted A19/A60 LED at 2700K warm white is also suitable for ambient rather than task use.

Which arm length should I choose? +

The compact (W 12 cm) is for tight spaces — narrow hallways, small bedside tables where the lamp head only needs to clear the wall, or positions where the pivot adjustment alone provides enough directionality. The medium (W 50 cm) is the most versatile — it reaches far enough from the wall to position the head over a bedside table, work surface, or reading chair without the arm getting in the way. The extended (W 72 cm) is for positions where the wall mount point is farther from the target surface — a lamp mounted above and to the side of a wide desk, or a bedside mount set back from a wide headboard.

How does the rocker pivot work? +

The pivot joint connects the lamp head to the end of the arm — the head rocks forward and backward on this joint, allowing the direction of light to be adjusted without moving the arm or the wall plate. The range of adjustment covers the most useful task angles: from pointing nearly straight down (for a focused pool on a surface directly below) to angled outward (for ambient or reading light at a shallower angle). The head holds position once set; if it loses tension over time, the joint can typically be tightened with a small screwdriver.

What bulb is best for reading and task lighting? +

For focused reading and task work, a 6–10W LED at 3000K neutral warm white or 4000K neutral white — E26 for US, E27 internationally. Neutral white (3000–4000K) reduces eye strain over extended reading sessions better than very warm white (2700K), which can cause fatigue on white-paper text. A spotlight or directional PAR bulb with a narrow beam angle (25–40°) focuses the output on the task surface rather than scattering it into the room. A standard frosted A19 at 2700K works for softer ambient use when task precision is not the priority.

Is it dimmable? +

Yes, when fitted with a dimmable LED bulb and a compatible plug-in in-line cord dimmer (sold separately — a rotary or slider control inserted between the lamp cord and the wall outlet). Alternatively, plug into a switched outlet connected to a TRIAC wall dimmer. Specify “dimmable” when purchasing the LED bulb. For task lamps used for reading, a dimmer is particularly useful: run at full output for focused work and reduce to 30–50% for ambient or relaxed use in the same position.

Care & delivery

Looking after it

Dust with a soft dry cloth. Stone, plated and painted finishes dislike solvents and abrasives, so keep both away from them; glass takes a lint-free cloth and a little glass cleaner. Solid brass is left unlacquered on most pieces and will warm and darken with handling, which is the material behaving as it should rather than a fault. Switch a fixture off and let it cool before cleaning it.

Who makes it

This piece is manufactured for Elio Marchetti by Radilum, our production partner for the collection.

We are a lighting house rather than a factory. We select the pieces, specify the finishes and the stone, and hold the relationship with the maker, and we would rather tell you that plainly than leave it unsaid. Questions about the manufacture of a specific fixture are welcome and we will answer them.

Delivery

Allow 28 to 43 business days from order to arrival, roughly six to nine weeks. Most of the collection is made to order, so that time covers the piece being built in the finish and size you chose, checked, packed and shipped. The same window applies wherever you are.

Shipping is free to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, with no minimum order.

Returns

You have ten days from receiving a piece to have it on its way back to us, under way inside those ten days rather than simply flagged with us on the tenth. Return postage on a change of mind is yours, there is no restocking fee, and the outcome is a refund to your original payment method rather than store credit. Made to order pieces return on the same terms as stock. Contact us before sending anything back.

Damaged or faulty on arrival

Separate from an ordinary return, and a longer window: twenty days from receipt to report it. Tell us before you send anything, keep the packaging until we have answered, and photographs of both the fault and the box help. Where a piece is faulty, damaged in transit or not what you ordered, we cover the return postage.

Installation

Any hardwired fixture should go in with a licensed electrician. Where a piece has particular requirements, a sloped ceiling, a chain that can be shortened, a specific socket, they are listed further up this page.
