It comes in Nightshade Black, Polished Nickel or Natural Brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Design Story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:0 0 1em 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0119\/3052\/files\/vc-designer-sean-lavin.jpg?v=1792955716\" alt=\"Designer Sean Lavin reaching up to touch one of his light fixtures\" width=\"520\" height=\"319\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:520px;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"\u003e\u003cfigcaption style=\"font-size:0.85em;opacity:0.75\"\u003eDesigner Sean Lavin. Photo from Visual Comfort.\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\u003cp\u003eVisual Comfort describes the Ponte task sconce as minimal in scale yet significant in function. The head pivots to direct the light exactly where it is needed, which suits a bedroom, an office or anywhere you need added light, and an integrated multi-touch dimmer sets the level for the mood or the task. The Medium adds a second arm segment for more reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePonte Medium is the long-reach size: the arm has an elbow that pivots 330 degrees, so the head can sit 22.6 inches out from the wall over a bed or a desk, or fold up and back. The head pivots 165 degrees to aim the light. It gives 370 lumens at 3000K and 90 CRI on 8.4 watts, and the push switch in the fixture steps through four dimming levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Damp Locations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePonte Medium is ETL listed, and Visual Comfort rates it for indoor damp locations and outdoor spaces under cover, such as a covered porch. The LED is rated L70 over 50,000 hours, it runs on universal 120V to 277V, and it carries a 5-year warranty. Visual Comfort lists a California Proposition 65 warning for the Natural Brass finish: it can expose you to chemicals including lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm (P65Warnings.ca.gov).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"lm-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth

a reading chair where the light needs to come from further out than a short arm allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is Not For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePonte Medium extends 22.6 inches from the wall and is not listed by Visual Comfort as ADA compliant, so it is not for a walkway where a fixture must stay shallow. It gives 370 lumens, so it is a task light, not a room light. It mounts down only and is hardwired, so it needs a junction box on the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions We Hear Most\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow far does the Ponte Medium Task Sconce reach?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the arm fully extended it reaches 22.6 inches from the wall. Folded up it stands 14.7 inches high. The plate is 5 inches tall and 3 inches wide, and the fixture weighs 2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the arm move?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elbow pivots 330 degrees and the head pivots 165 degrees, so you can set the head at several heights and distances, or fold the arm against the wall when you are not using it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the dimmer work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fixture has a built-in push switch with four dimming levels, so you do not need a wall dimmer. It runs on universal 120V to 277V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it ADA compliant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Visual Comfort does not list it as ADA compliant, and the arm extends 22.6 inches from the wall. For a walkway, choose a shallower fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich finish should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNightshade Black is a deep, dark finish that draws a crisp line against a light wall. Polished Nickel is bright and cool and suits white, gray or marble rooms. Natural Brass is warm and golden and goes with brass hardware and wood. Pick the one that matches the other metals nearby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it in a bath or outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisual Comfort rates it for indoor damp locations and outdoor spaces under cover, such as a covered porch.
