Gentry Suspension Wall Light

Does a clear glass wall light create harsh shadows on the wall?

Yes, depending on the bulb type and placement, clear glass fixtures can create defined light patterns or shadows—especially near textured surfaces.

Can I use a motion sensor bulb in this style of fixture?

Yes, motion sensor or dusk-to-dawn bulbs can be used if the socket supports them, making it a practical choice for entryways or hallways.

Do I need to reinforce the wall for this light?

While it's not typically heavy, anchoring it into a stud or using heavy-duty wall plugs is recommended to ensure it stays secure long-term.

Will this work with dimmable bulbs and switches?

Yes, as long as the bulb is dimmable and paired with a compatible dimmer switch, you can control the brightness to suit your ambiance needs.

Is there glare when using high-wattage bulbs in clear glass?

Yes, higher wattage or exposed filament bulbs can cause glare. Using frosted or lower-lumen bulbs can help reduce eye strain.

What’s the best height to install a hanging wall light in a hallway?

Typically, the bottom of the fixture should be at least 6.5 to 7 feet from the floor to allow clearance and prevent accidental bumps.

Can this be installed on angled or sloped walls?

It depends on the mounting bracket design. Flat backplates work best on vertical surfaces, but angled mounts may require custom adapters or repositioning.
