When it comes to adding the cozy vibe of wall lighting to your space, drilling holes in your walls and wiring electricity is not the most affordable or easy way to upgrade your vibe.
Thankfully, we've got options.
And those options are wireless wall sconces that don't require any hardwiring to install.
Wait, does that mean you need an endless supply of batteries to keep the vibe cozy?
No!
So let's get into it.
Let's talk about why rechargeable wall sconces win every time against battery operated wall lights.
The Drawbacks of Disposable Battery-Operated Sconces
Disposable battery-operated wall sconces may seem convenient due to their easy installation—insert batteries, mount the sconce, and you're done......but, this convenience comes with hidden costs:
- Batteries ain't cheap: A typical sconce uses 2 to 4 AA batteries, which may last only a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on usage. Replacing these batteries frequently can become costly over time.
If you use a battery operated wall sconce for just 10 hours a week for a year, that's almost $130 of batteries!
- Environmental Concerns: Regularly discarding batteries contributes to environmental pollution, as many end up in landfills even if you put them in the recycling!
- Maintenance Hassles: Let's face it, we don't always have all the batteries we need. What a bummer when you run out batteries right before your cozy dinner night or in the middle of your new book?
The Advantages of USB-C Rechargeable Wall Sconces
USB-C rechargeable wall sconces, like Poplight, provide a smarter and more sustainable lighting solution:
- Cost-Effective: Eliminate the need for disposable batteries. Simply recharge the sconce using the included USB-C cable, saving you money on batteries!
- Environmentally Friendly: By reducing battery waste, you're making a more eco-conscious choice that benefits the planet.
- User-Friendly Design: Poplight sconces feature removable battery packs, allowing you to recharge them conveniently without dismounting the entire sconce. Plus, you can keep an extra battery on hand so you can easily swap out a new one when your current one drains. You can always keep your Poplights plugged in, too!
- Versatile Installation: With no need for wiring or proximity to outlets, you can install these sconces anywhere. No need to stay close to an outlet!
- Other things we love: Poplight uses an LED, which is the most energy efficient way to light up your space. Poplights also provide multiple color temperature settings and dimmable options, allowing you to customize your lighting ambiance. You can also use the Poplight app to control your Poplights from your phone!

Poplight's USB-C rechargeable wall sconces stand out due to their thoughtful design and user-centric features:

We've said it once and we'll say it forever, USB-C rechargeable wall sconces, especially Poplights, are the clear winner against old school disposable battery sconces.
