Hubbardton Forge Alcove Outdoor Sconce

Yes. The Alcove Medium Outdoor Sconce is wet-rated, meaning it is specifically engineered to withstand direct exposure to rain, snow, and other harsh outdoor elements.

The fluted glass shade is designed to diffuse the light, creating a soft, patterned glow rather than a harsh, direct beam. It is ideal for creating ambient lighting on porches or entryways.

Absolutely. While the fixture is designed for a medium-base A19 bulb with a maximum wattage of 100W, you can use an LED equivalent as long as it fits the medium base and does not exceed the maximum wattage rating.

The fixture arrives mostly assembled, but you will need to install the glass shade and the bulb yourself during the mounting process. Because each piece is handmade to order in Vermont, you can expect a high level of fit and finish.

Hubbardton Forge finishes are known for their durability, but if you live in an extremely harsh coastal environment, regular maintenance—such as rinsing the fixture with fresh water—is recommended to preserve the finish over time.

The backplate measures 7.6 inches in height and 5 inches in width, which should provide ample coverage for most standard electrical junction boxes.
