Tips & Warnings
Purchase the type of candle for which your sconce is designed.
Accent mirrors, picture frames, and windows with candles.
The wall chandelier may also hang suspended from a hook in the ceiling.
Install a sconce with a glass globe tall enough to set around the entire candle to prevent wax leakage.
Hang your wall candles away from drapery.
Hang candles high enough, or out of the way so hair and clothing won't catch on fire.
Check the size of the wall anchor. Be sure they are not to large or the hook to small, or your sconce could fall under the weight of the candle.
Do not look at the laser in the level. The laser can damage your eye.
