Compare the Blue Ridge Sconce and Double Slope Sconce from Worley's Lighting. Find out which modern wall light fits your hallway, living room, or bedroom based on size, style, and damp rating.
Quick answer
Choose the Blue Ridge Sconce for a compact, customizable accent in damp-rated spaces like bathrooms or covered porches. Choose the Double Slope Sconce for a wider, linen-shade statement in living rooms or hallways where you want soft, ambient light.
Size and shape differences
The Blue Ridge Sconce measures 4.75” wide by 11” tall, making it a compact fixture that works well in tight spots like a narrow hallway or above a bathroom mirror. Its updated classic silhouette feels traditional but fresh.
The Double Slope Sconce spans 24.5” wide with a 6.5” depth, giving it a much broader presence. The slim profile and crisp linen shades make it a natural fit for a living room accent wall or above a bed, where you want the light to spread horizontally.
Damp location rating matters
Both sconces are UL and cUL listed for damp locations, so each can handle humidity in a bathroom or under a covered porch. However, the Blue Ridge Sconce’s material choices (like white oak and matte black) may be easier to keep clean in moist environments than the linen shades on the Double Slope.
If you need a fixture for a truly wet area (like an outdoor wall exposed to rain), neither is rated for wet locations, so plan accordingly.
Customization and lead time
Both sconces offer multiple material combinations—choose from a palette of finishes and shade options. This lets you match existing decor without compromise. The trade-off is a 2-3 week lead time, so plan ahead if you need the light quickly.
The Blue Ridge Sconce comes with two E26 sockets (60W max each) for brighter task or accent lighting. The Double Slope has a single E26 socket, which produces more focused, softer light—ideal for ambient settings.
Trade-offs to consider
- Size and coverage: Blue Ridge is compact (4.75" wide) and works in tight spaces; Double Slope is wide (24.5") and suits larger walls or above a bed.
- Brightness and socket count: Blue Ridge has two sockets (up to 120W total) for brighter light; Double Slope has one socket (up to 60W) for softer, focused ambiance.
- Material and maintenance: Blue Ridge offers wood, metal, and painted finishes that are easy to wipe clean; Double Slope's linen shades require more care and may not suit high-humidity bathrooms. If you expect frequent cleaning or steam, lean toward the Blue Ridge.
- Lead time: Both are made to order with a 2-3 week lead time. Neither is available for immediate pickup. Order ahead of your project timeline.
