There are A LOT of rechargeable wall sconce options out there.
💡 Don't worry! We're hear to help you understand all the options so you can figure out which features matter most to you.
Whether you need a cozy glow for bedtime reading or a stylish accent light to level up your space, choosing the right rechargeable wall light comes down to a few key features (and of course, your style preferences).
Let’s break it down so you can find the best one for your needs.
1. Ease of Charging Your Rechargeable Wall Sconce: How Often & How Simple?
A rechargeable wall sconce should be convenient -that's the point, right! Consider these questions:
-
Battery Life: How long does it last per charge? Look for options that run for at least 4 hours without a charge.
-
Charging Method: USB-C, micro-USB, or magnetic charging? USB-C is fastest and most common.
-
Removable vs. Fixed Battery: Some lights let you swap batteries, while others require you to remove the entire fixture to charge.
- Charging Flexibility: Is the battery fixed in place? Can the light be left plugged in?
If you don’t want to constantly recharge, go for a sconce with long battery life and easy plug-in charging.
✨ Options like Poplight recharge easily using the 6 foot USB-C charging cable that's included with each Poplight. Plus, Poplight can be left plugged in OR you can pop out the battery pack and recharge closer to an outlet if you don't have one near your Poplight. Options!
2. Style: Classic, Modern, or Something Unique?
Your rechargeable wall light should match your home’s aesthetic. Here are some popular styles:
-
Minimalist: Sleek, simple designs that blend into modern spaces.
-
Vintage/Industrial: Great for lofts or rustic interiors.
-
Traditional: Classic sconce styles for a timeless look.
-
Scandinavian: Soft, warm lighting with wood accents for a cozy feel.
🎨 You might also want to consider your wall color and how the rechargeable wall sconce you choose will work with your existing color palette.
3. Decor Type: Where Will You Use It?
Different spaces call for different lighting needs. Think about where you’ll place your rechargeable wall sconce:
-
Bedroom: A dimmable sconce is perfect for nighttime reading.
-
Living Room: Ambient lighting enhances the cozy vibe.
-
Hallways & Entryways: Functional and stylish for guiding the way.
-
Bathroom: Make sure it’s moisture-resistant if placing near water.
Wall sconces should be as functional as they are stylish. Think about brightness levels and adjustability based on the room.
Poplight works great in a humid bathroom, plus she's dimmable and has 3 built in color temperatures, making it easy to style Poplights in ANY room!
4. Color Warmth: Bright & Cool vs. Soft & Warm
The color temperature of your rechargeable wall light affects the ambiance of a room:
-
Warm White (2700K-3000K): Cozy and inviting, perfect for bedrooms and living rooms.
-
Neutral White (3500K-4000K): Balanced and natural, ideal for hallways and workspaces.
-
Cool White (5000K-6000K): Bright and energizing, great for task lighting or bathrooms.
If you want flexibility, look for a sconce with adjustable color temperature settings. Poplight has 3 built in color temperates that adjust between 2700K and 6000K.
5. Installation: Stick, Screw, or Magnet?
One of the biggest perks of a rechargeable wall sconce is that it’s easy to install. But how easy?
-
Adhesive (3M Tape): No tools required! Just peel and stick.
-
Screw Mount: A bit more effort, plus you'll want to check your lease before you drill if you rent. 🫣
If you’re renting or want a damage-free solution, a peel-and-stick option is your best bet.
