We all want our spaces to be beautiful and Instagram worthy.
One of the ways you can level up your space is by adding wall sconces and non-overhead lighting, but for renters, the traditional wired wall sconce options can be restrictive. This post will walk you through why battery-operated wall sconces, especially USB-C rechargeable ones like Poplight, are the top choice for renters. In this guide, we'll delve into the advantages of Poplight over traditional wired options, highlighting the pitfalls of old-school sconces and providing valuable insights for those seeking renter-friendly lighting solutions.💡
The Challenges of Renting and Traditional Wired Wall Sconces
Renting a place means you need to understand any restrictions imposed by your landlord in your lease agreement. Traditional wired wall sconces, while adding ambiance and functionality, come with their own set of challenges for renters.
-
Lease Restrictions:
- You might not be able to do anything to your walls: Landlords may restrict renters from making alterations, including putting holes in walls.
- Security deposit risks: The installation process for old school wall sconces involves drilling and wiring. This might pose risks to your security deposit, making wired sconces off-limits for most renters.
-
Wiring Challenges:
- Complex installation: Wiring traditional wall sconces isn't straightforward, often requiring an electrician. This additional cost can be a significant deterrent for renters and can make your project cost over a thousand dollars.
Here's where Poplight comes in:
Easy DIY Installation:
Cost savings: Poplight is DIY-friendly, eliminating the need for professional installation. This can save a renter like you thousands in electrician fees and safeguards your security deposit from potential wall damage.
