1. Why Natural Alabaster Wall Sconces Outperform Glass & Fabric Shades
Unlike transparent glass or fabric lamp shades that degrade under heat, genuine Spanish alabaster acts as a multi-directional light filter. Its microscopic mineral lattice absorbs harsh blue glare, transforming standard LED light into a warm, soothing golden atmosphere.

3. Mounting Height & Placement Rules for Bedside Walls
When positioning wall sconces beside a bed, mount the midpoint of the fixture 55 to 60 inches above the finished floor, or roughly 20 to 24 inches above your mattress height when seated upright. This height prevents direct bulb glare while casting ideal illumination over reading materials.
