Why Battery-Powered Wall Sconces Are the Best Choice for Renters

If you're in a rental or just prefer to keep things simple, here’s why battery-powered sconces should be your go-to lighting solution:

• No Hardwiring Required: Forget hiring an electrician or learning how to rewire a light fixture.

• Zero Damage Installation: Many adhesive wall lights use strong 3M tape or magnetic mounts, leaving your walls hole-free.

• Portable & Flexible: Move them around whenever you need without a hassle, and take them with you to your next apartment. 

• Perfect for Any Space: From bedside lamps, hallways, and even your closets, these lights go where traditional fixtures can't.

• Rechargeable & Long-Lasting: Many models now use USB rechargeable batteries, meaning you won’t be constantly replacing AAAs.

How to Choose the Best Battery-Powered Wall Sconce for Your Space

Not all battery-operated sconces are created equal. Here’s what to consider:

• Brightness & Bulb Type: LED lights are the best for efficiency and longevity.

• Battery Life: Rechargeable sconces save money in the long run since you won't be buying batteries, while some use replaceable batteries.

• Installation Type: Adhesive-backed lights are easiest, but some require screws or brackets, which means you'll need tools and some time to complete the installation.

• Dimming & Smart Features: Want to set the mood? Or just want to stay on the couch? Look for models with dimming or smart app control.

• Style & Finish: From modern matte black to vintage brass, pick a finish that complements your decor.

How to Style Battery-Powered Sconces Like a Pro

Stick-on sconces aren’t just practical—they can totally transform a space. Here’s how to make the most of them:

• Bedroom: Place two sconces above your nightstands for a cozy, symmetrical look (without the need for an outlet!).

• Living Room: Use them to frame a gallery wall or highlight an accent chair.

• Hallways & Entryways: Light up dark hallways without cords or electrical work.

• Kitchen: Illuminate your cooking spaces - Poplight sticks great on tile and finished stone!

• Bathroom: Banish the big light and make your bathroom 1000x more relacing by placing a sconce near your mirror—just make sure it’s moisture-resistant like Poplight.

Battery Powered Sconce Installation Tips

To make sure your adhesive wall lights stay put and look flawless:

• Clean the Surface First: Wipe down your wall with ispropyl alcohol to remove dust and grease. Poplight offers this handy Perfect Poplight Install Kit that includes 3 isopropyl wipes and 3 pairs of extra sticky tape. 

• Measure & Mark Placement: Use painter’s tape or a level to ensure even alignment before sticking.

  • 💗 Poplight has a built in level on the mounting base, so no extra tools or time are needed to install!

• Apply Firm Pressure: Press firmly for at least 30 seconds to ensure the adhesive bonds well.

• Let It Set: If using 3M tape on a textured wall, give it 24 hours before hanging the light to maximize adhesion.

• Reposition with Care: If needed, use a hairdryer to loosen the adhesive for a damage-free removal. With Poplight, just follow these instructions to safely remove, and then reinstall, your Poplights.
