Carob sconces in the interior

In addition to overhead lighting sources, various wall lamps are widely used in the interior, the first of which were tar torches. Today, the assortment of wall lighting devices is quite diverse, but the most popular are open-end sconces - direct descendants of those same torches.

Horn sconces are one of the simplest lamps, consisting of one or more horns, made of various materials (metal, wood). The horns are decorated with shades and fitted with lamps with reflectors. The sconce belongs to local lighting devices.

All lamps with horns are divided into two large groups:

• Movable (rotary). They make it possible to change the direction of light if necessary.
• Tough. Designed for background lighting, creating a cozy atmosphere or zoning a room.

The latter devices are subdivided into one-, two-, three- and multi-track.

1. Single-track - the most laconic and simple form that fits perfectly into any classic or modern design.
2. Double-arm - classic models that add symmetry and originality to the interior.
3. Three- and multi-track are the most popular. Versatile and functional, they help to create coziness and a relaxed atmosphere in any room, any room.

Despite their simplicity, wall-mounted sconces have several different functions:

• An additional light source designed for specific purposes (for example, for reading).
• Main lighting in small rooms where the use of large lighting fixtures is impossible or impractical. Sconces will not only illuminate the room, but also visually expand it, evenly distributing the light.
• Zoning. Wall lights help to divide large spaces into cozy corners.
• Emphasizing certain interior elements (paintings, mirrors) or masking architectural and design flaws.

In addition to their functionality, open-end sconces have a number of other advantages.

The most significant of them:

• Lightweight and compact. This makes it possible to mount the luminaire to almost any surface.
• Versatility. Perfect for rooms of various purposes - from bedrooms to bathrooms and toilets, from hotel rooms to bars and restaurants.
• Model variety, allowing the buyer to choose a product for every taste.
• Profitability. Wall lights consume much less energy than large ceiling lights. The most economical models are considered to be with a touch switch.

Moreover, they are simple and easy to use.

As for the shortcomings, they include:

• Insufficient decorative qualities of models with a plug connected to an outlet.
• Risk of water splashing on open wall sconces. As a result, this can lead to a malfunction of the device.
• Possibility of accidental mechanical damage to the luminaire.

Depending on the size of the room, open-end sconces can be used as the main or additional source of illumination.

At the same time, the use of such wall lamps has its own nuances:

• Placed in the living room, they will help bring additional harmony to the interior. Chandelier-shaped lamps are perfect for decorating a fireplace area.
• Models with two horns, symmetrically placed on both sides of the picture, will help not only highlight this element, but also "revive" it.
• For decorative purposes, it is best to use sconces with decorations.
• Single-sided sconces in the form of street lamps will add originality and light to the entrance area of ​​the house.
• Lamps made in the form of candles will contribute to the creation of a romantic atmosphere in the bedroom.
• Wall lighting in the bathroom is one of the characteristic features of neoclassical design trends.
