Two Cavern Wall Lights, One Key Difference
Worley's Lighting offers two wall lamps in the Cavern family: a single-head Cavern Sconce and a two-head Cavern Double Sconce. Both share the same modern cone silhouette, damp-location certification, and made-to-order construction, but they differ in width, light spread, and bulb count. This comparison helps you decide which one fits your room and your lighting needs.
Cavern Sconce vs Cavern Double Sconce: Key Differences
- Size and light spread: The single Cavern Sconce is 5" wide and 9" deep, directing light in a focused task-like beam. The Cavern Double Sconce spans 13" wide with two adjustable swivel shades, spreading light over a broader area.
- Number of bulbs: The single sconce holds one E26 bulb (60W max, not included). The double sconce holds two E26 bulbs (60W max each, not included), effectively doubling the potential light output.
- Customization and materials: Both offer a choice of wood, brass, or powder-coated steel finishes. The single sconce is shown in Cornsilk Oak with Flat Brass; the double sconce is shown in Walnut with Classic Brass and Matte Black shades.
- Weight and mounting: The single sconce weighs 1.4 lbs and uses a 4" universal mounting plate. The double sconce weighs 2.6 lbs and also uses a 4" universal plate. Both have a 4" canopy and a 9" height.

Cavern Double Sconce
When the Single Cavern Sconce Makes Sense
Pick the Cavern Sconce when you need a focused task light in a tight spot. Its 5" width fits beside a narrow mirror, above a small desk, or in a hallway where a wider fixture would feel crowded. The single bulb keeps the look minimal and the price lower at $143.40 compared to $220.43 for the double. You can also choose from the same material palette, so the finish matches your decor.
When the Cavern Double Sconce Fits Better
Choose the Cavern Double Sconce when you want more light or need to cover a wider wall area. Its 13" width and two adjustable shades make it a natural choice above a bathroom vanity, a kitchen sink, or a reading nook where you want light from two angles. The swivel shades let you aim each cone independently, a feature the single sconce lacks. At $220.43, it costs more but delivers roughly twice the light output.
What They Share: Certifications, Lead Time, and Bulb Choice
Both sconces are UL and cUL listed for damp locations, so they can go in bathrooms or covered outdoor areas. Both have a 2-3 week lead time and accept E26 bulbs up to 60W (LED or incandescent). Bulbs are not included, so factor in the cost of your preferred A15, G16, G25, or specialty LED bulbs. The single sconce needs one bulb; the double needs two.
The Trade-Off: Size vs Flexibility
The main trade-off is between a compact, single-direction light and a wider, adjustable dual light. The single sconce is simpler and cheaper but cannot be redirected. The double sconce offers more light and directional control but takes up more wall space and costs about $77 more. Neither is inherently better—it depends on your wall width, light needs, and budget.
