Timeless Elegance Meets Safety: The Teide Brass Down Sconce
If you’re looking for an outdoor wall light that balances classic charm, durable craftsmanship, and low-voltage safety, our Teide Sconce Brass Finish Down Light is a standout. Designed for beauty and built for performance, this fixture is perfect for patios, pool cages, fences, and other exterior walls where style and function both matter.
🌟 Features & Benefits
-
Solid Cast Brass Construction
The Teide Sconce is made from 100% full cast brass, giving it excellent resistance to corrosion and weather. This means it stays looking refined in harsh outdoor conditions — salt air, moisture, sun — without rusting or degrading. -
Low-Voltage (12V) Design
Because it uses a 12V MR16 bulb (sold separately), the fixture is safer around children, pets, and in moist environments. Lower voltage reduces risk while still delivering bright light. -
Heat-Resistant Clear Lens & Sealed Wire Ingress
The lens is flat and made to resist heat, helping to protect the bulb and maintain clarity over time. The wiring entry point is fully sealed to prevent water intrusion. Useful for wet or splash zones. -
Stylish Finishes & Mounting Options
Available in Black Brass and Antique Brass finishes, the Teide complements many architectural styles. It includes mounting hardware (screws, anchors) and fits neatly on posts or columns, especially around pool cages or patios. -
Compact & Elegant Size
With dimensions around 3.5″ x 1.95″, it’s unobtrusive but still impactful. It provides a down light that frames walls and steps nicely without overwhelming the architecture.
🛠 Best Ways to Use the Teide Sconce
-
Welcome Areas & Entrances
Mount one or a pair of Teide Sconces around a doorway, gate, or porch entrance to cast gentle light downward. This adds safety and highlights the entryway’s features (columns, trim, etc.). -
Pool Cage Posts & Columns
Its design was made specifically to fit on pool cage posts or column faces. Use several spaced around the enclosure for a warm, even drop-light effect. -
Path Edges & Walkway Walls
Position along walkways or on retaining walls. The downward light helps illuminate steps safely without glare. -
Accent Lighting for Outdoor Living Areas
Use the warm glowing light from MR16 bulbs for patios, decks, or verandas. Pair with other landscape lighting to build ambiance.
🔒 Safety & Installation Tips
-
Use a 12V Low-Voltage Transformer
Always pair the Teide light with a properly rated 12V low voltage transformer. This ensures safe voltage for outdoor use and avoids overloading or safety hazards. -
Waterproof and Proper Wiring Practices
Seal all connections using waterproof wire nuts or grease-filled connectors. Ensure that wiring entry is fully sealed (which the Teide is designed for) to avoid water penetration into the housing. -
Bulb Choice Matters
When selecting the MR16 bulb, choose a bulb rated for outdoor damp/wet environments, with good UV stability, low heat profile, and matching color temperature to adjacent fixtures for consistent appearance. -
Mount Securely to Solid Surface
Use the included hardware; ensure the back wall or post column is strong and stable. Since it protrudes and has downward light, the fixture should be firmly attached to avoid looseness from wind or vibration. -
Consider Placement for Light Control & Glare
Because this is a down sconce, place it at a height that lights steps or walls without shining into eyes. Use warm color temperatures to reduce harshness. Also, ensure the lens remains clean over time so light stays clear.
