It is #3 of 8 in our guide, based on listed specifications and not on a score.
Safety note: hardwired sconces connect to household wiring. Turn off the breaker and confirm the power is off, check the box and the fixture rating, and use a licensed electrician if you are not experienced. Plug-in sconces still need a safe outlet and a cord that is not pinched or run under carpet. Look for a UL or ETL mark, and a damp rating in bathrooms. Listings differ; we describe what each maker lists.
