What Makes the Shelly Wall Light Unique
The Shelly wall light is a playful take on the traditional short-armed sconce. It pairs a classic silhouette with the Lulu shade, giving you a modern look and a more directional beam of light. The brass banjo knuckle lets you tilt the shade up or down, so you can aim the light exactly where you need it.
Choosing Your Shelly Outlet Variant
The Shelly wall light is available in three outlet condition grades. Each has its own cosmetic quirks, so you can choose based on how much character you're comfortable with.
Satin Brass with Switch (Fair) – This variant has small marks and a dent on the shade. It still works perfectly, but the finish shows some wear.
Satin Brass and Black (Fair) – Expect black stains on the side of the sconce and minor scratches. The two-tone look remains striking despite the blemishes.
White (Fair) – The shade has visible stains, but the overall form and function are intact.

Installation Steps for the Shelly Wall Light
Since this is an outlet wall light, you won't need to hardwire it. The setup is straightforward, but you should still follow basic safety steps.
1. Choose your location – Mount the sconce near a power outlet, ideally at bedside height or above a desk. The adjustable shade works best when you can reach the knuckle easily.
2. Attach the wall bracket – Use the supplied screws and wall anchors (check your wall type – plaster, drywall, or masonry may need different fixings).
3. Hang the fixture – Slide the sconce onto the bracket and secure it with the locking screws. Make sure it's level before tightening fully.
4. Plug in and test – Connect the plug to the outlet. Tilt the shade using the brass banjo knuckle to direct the light. Test the switch (if your variant has one) to confirm it works.
Adjusting the Shade Angle
The brass banjo knuckle is the key to the Shelly's flexibility. Loosen it slightly, tilt the Lulu shade up or down, then tighten again. For reading, point the shade downward to avoid glare. For ambient accent lighting, aim it upward to bounce light off the wall.
Placement Ideas
The Shelly wall light shines (literally) in bedside setups, reading nooks, and desk areas. Because the shade directs light, it works well as a focused task light without flooding the whole room. A pair of Shelly sconces on either side of a bed can replace bulky nightstand lamps.
