If you want to add lighting to your home without spending the time and money to rewire it, there is an easy solution. Plug in wall sconces are designed to be mounted to the wall and can be powered by the standard outlet plug.<\/p>\n

This is a great idea for any room where you need more light than a simple ceiling fixture can provide. They\u2019re especially great for nooks and crannies that aren\u2019t well lit or in places where floor space is at a premium, like a bathroom vanity or nightstand.<\/p>\n

The best thing about a plug in wall sconce is that it doesn\u2019t require an electrician. You can move the sconce easily from one room to another and it doesn\u2019t take up much space.<\/p>\n

How to Install a Plug in Wall Sconce<\/h4>\n

Before you get started on your new project, be sure to turn off the electricity and remove the light bulb. This will make it easier for you to locate the wires, as well as prevent any accidental switches.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve removed the bulb, use a non-contact circuit tester to check the wiring inside the electrical box to see if the light is on or off. If you\u2019re unsure, call an electrician and let them know what you\u2019re working on.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll likely find that a lot of the electrical components are pre-stripped, so you won\u2019t have to do as much work as you might with a standard wall sconce. However, if you have to cut a few wires to connect the light kit to the switch box, be sure to use a good pair of shears or wire cutters to do the job.<\/p>\n

Using a Puck Light<\/h4>\n

This is probably the most common way to add lights without needing to rewire your walls. To do this, you\u2019ll need to purchase a puck light with the right size and shape to fit inside the lampshade. You\u2019ll also need some double-sided tape to secure it in place.<\/p>\n

While this is a fun and creative way to add lights, it\u2019s not the most practical way to do it. This method only works with specific styles of sconces, so make sure you select the right one for your space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
