Leano 17 Sconce by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort

The Leano 17 Sconce by Sean Lavin is a tall, bulb-lit wall sconce: a rounded, hand-cut ribbed glass shade set against a long linear backplate. It stands 17 inches tall, takes one E12 candelabra bulb, and comes in Bronze, Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass or Polished Nickel.

The Design Story

Visual Comfort describes the Leano sconce as a blend of architectural structure and soft illumination: a linear backplate paired with a rounded, hand-cut ribbed glass shade, with a balance of angles and curves in a refined, contemporary style.

Why You'll Love It

Leano 17 is made for flanking a mirror, lining a hallway or accenting a living space. The ribbed glass adds texture and dimension without overpowering the room, and the long backplate gives it a strong vertical line. It is 17 inches tall, 4.3 inches wide and extends 4.8 inches from the wall. It takes one E12 candelabra bulb of up to 5 watts and dims on ELV and TRIAC dimmers when you use a dimmable bulb.

Built for Damp Locations

Leano 17 is ETL listed, and Visual Comfort rates it for indoor damp locations and outdoor spaces under cover, such as a covered porch. The sconce is brass with a glass shade, and it carries a 1-year warranty.

Product Details

Where It Shines

Flanking a mirror in a bath or powder room, lining a hallway, or on either side of a bed or a doorway where a tall, slim sconce fits the wall.

Who This Is Not For

It extends 4.8 inches from the wall and Visual Comfort does not list it as ADA compliant, so it is not for a tight walkway where a shallow, ADA compliant fixture is required. It is also a decorative sconce with one small bulb, so it is not for task lighting; add brighter light where you need it.

Questions We Hear Most

How big is the Leano 17 Sconce?

It is 17 inches tall and 4.3 inches wide, and it extends 4.8 inches from the wall. The backplate is a long rectangle, 17 inches tall and 4.3 inches wide. It weighs 6 pounds.

What bulb does it use?

It takes one E12 candelabra bulb, up to 5 watts. Choose a dimmable bulb if you plan to use a dimmer, since the sconce is rated for ELV and TRIAC dimmers.

Is it ADA compliant?

No. Visual Comfort does not list it as ADA compliant, and it extends 4.8 inches from the wall. If you need an ADA compliant sconce for a walkway, look at a shallower fixture.

Can I use it outdoors?

Visual Comfort rates it for indoor damp locations and outdoor spaces under cover, such as a covered porch or entry. It is not for fully exposed outdoor use.

Which finish should I choose?

Bronze is a deep, dark finish that gives the sconce a crisp outline against a light wall. Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass is warm and golden with a hand-finished look, and it is a living finish that develops a patina over time; if it turns uneven or spotty, a brass cleaner can restore it. Polished Nickel is bright and cool and suits white, gray or marble rooms.

How long is the warranty?

Visual Comfort gives it a 1-year warranty. It is ETL listed.

Why We Love It
