Wallniture Asian Wall Lamp with On Off Switch, Rice Paper Lamp Shade with Chandelier Light Bulbs, Cream

If you have not owned Shoji screens or lanterns made of rice paper you are in for a surprise. While delicate looking, rice paper is extremely tough and long lasting. I have been buying so-called “oriental lanterns” for many years and not once has one torn, yellowed or rotted. They are an acquired taste, to some the look is like a cheap throwaway, and to others the look is one of peace and tranquility.If you are considering any rice paper lantern you have to start off accepting that each item will have its own unique handmade look to it, no two will ever be identical. There isn’t much to them, just a wood or wire frame with the rice paper stretched over it, and the electrical socket. This model uses a wire frame that is completely hidden by the paper. Rice paper lanterns generally glow close to pure white when used with a bright light bulb and tend to emit a soft yellowish glow when the bulb wattage goes down. But even at low wattage they transmit light to the surrounding room softly and evenly.I bought a pair of these to place in my home office for when I work late at night. I have gone through dozens of desk lamps and have not found one yet that isn’t too harsh on the eyes for late night use when I am using the computer. I chose these because I have a gigantic antique bas-relief Japanese wall mural on the wall next to my workstation and I now have two of these lanterns mounted flanking the mural on either side. The soft glow provides a stunning effect for the bas-relief and throws off just enough light to work comfortably by. I bought an excellent dimmer Leviton TBL03-10E 300-watt Tabletop Slide Control Lamp Dimmer, Black at a great price to adjust the amount of light to be just right. If you choose not to use a dimmer note that the lamps only have a cord-mounted on/off switch, but there are several different wattage bulbs that can be used.These are some of the lowest priced wall-mount lights sold anywhere but they don’t look it. In the right setting it looks like I paid an expensive interior decorator to create a first-class look.By the way, rice paper is safe if you’re concerned that they will go up in flames but it’s always wise to use reasonable caution and make sure the light bulb doesn’t get installed in such a way that it touches the sides of the lantern. The design of this lantern makes it impossible for the bulb to even come close.

Love these little lamps. they give a pleasant off white glow/ spa like feel. I wanted something to serve in the guest bedroom as nightstand lamps however the guest bedroom is small and any lamps I had on hand were way to big for such a small room. These are perfect and make the nightstands nice and roomy for my guests since the lamps hang on the wall. Putting them together and hanging them was really easy. Had no trouble at all. Make sure you have an outlet wherever you'd like to hang yours. And by the way there is not a way to simply set them down directly on a table, they fall back. They must be hung. I hung mine with thumb tacs at first to make a hole to mark where my nail should go. I used the tiniest nails to hang, no anchor and screw needed cause they are so light weight.

For the price, this lamp is very cute and functional. I'm using it as a bedside lamp; it is hanging above my nightstand, which saves space.Installation was fairly easy. I used a 1/4" drill bit to drill the holes for the drywall anchors.The shade is slightly darker than the photo and creates a warm glow.The bulbs included are incandescent, so they get very hot, which made me nervous because of the paper shade. I invested in a Philips LED bulb instead.Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.

Really great lamp for the price! Easy to install, we didn't even drill holes. Just used 2 nails. It's very lightweight. The lamp is quite delicate, so handle with care. Comes with 2 bulbs, but we put a different one in, since the bulbs included get very hot. Awesome lamp, gonna buy another one.

I love this rice paper wall lamp! Easy to assemble,Easy to install and looks great in my office! Love the oriental style and it puts off a perfect light! I have an overhead ceiling light thats very bright, When i want less light but still some light i turn this on and its perfect! I did buy led candelabra bulbs to go in it instead of using the incandescent ones that came with it! I also really like the inline on/off toggle switch.I am very happy with my purchase!

Yes, like everyone else I would love to have a hardwired sconce on my wall, but I can not do electric. I don't mind the cord running down the wall. It comes in pieces and is easy peasy to put together. I hung it myself. Held up the the lamp where I wanted it. Then held up the metal plate using a level on it so the light would hang evenly. Drilled 2 holes. You have to pry open the 2 hooks on the metal plate for the lamp to hang on, but that's simple using a screwdriver. I have 3 in my family room and it's just right to watch TV. Bright enough to see, but dim enough to be relaxing.

Cheap, stylish, easy. You can have a wall sconce on demand, so long as there is an outlet nearby.NOTE that there is a heavy (somewhat clumsy) white electrical cord with toggle switch which hangs directly from the sconce to be plugged into a socket. The sconce does not attach to junction-box wires already within a wall. Makes a BIG difference as to how clean it looks on your wall. I'd say this is a great dorm room product, but not classy enough for your living room.....If, like me, you were looking for a substitute or replacement for the now-discontinued IKEA sconce which looks just like these, this Cord vs. No Cord is an important difference.....In my case, I damaged a shade from my IKEA rice paper sconces, and needed a replacement shade. This product is *slightly* different and bigger, but I could rig this shade onto my old IKEA mounting plate. Yes!!
