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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePonte Small is the shorter of the two arm sizes, made for a bedside or a desk where a long reach is not needed. The head pivots 165 degrees and the arm pivots 180 degrees, so you can swing the light over a book or fold it back to the wall. It gives 389 lumens at 3000K and 90 CRI on 7.9 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 Small 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 scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eDesigner\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSean Lavin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eBrand \/ collection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVisual Comfort, Modern Collection, Ponte series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eItem number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSLTS145\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eFinishes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNightshade Black, Polished Nickel, Natural Brass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth 12.6 in with the arm extended, height 5 in, length 3 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel or brass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eLight source\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegrated LED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eColor temperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3000K, 90 CRI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eOutput\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e389 delivered lumens, 7.9 watts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eLED life\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL70 over 50,000 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eDimming\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt-in 4-way dimming, push switch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUniversal 120V-277V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eMounting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWall, hardwire, mounts down only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eRating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eETL listed, indoor damp, outdoor under cover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:1em 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0119\/3052\/files\/ponte-small-task-sconce-dimensions-diagram.png?v=1793157835\" alt=\"Ponte Small Task Sconce dimensions diagram: 12.6 inch reach from the wall on a 5 inch tall, 3 inch wide plate\" width=\"400\" height=\"215\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:400px;height:auto\"\u003e\u003cfigcaption style=\"font-size:0.85em;opacity:0.75\"\u003eDimensions diagram, drawn from the Visual Comfort spec sheet.\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere It Shines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeside a bed as a small reading light, over a desk or a dressing table, or at a nook or a reading chair where you want a slim fixture that stays close to the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is Not For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePonte Small gives 389 lumens, so it is a task light and not a room light; add other layers for general lighting.
