What Most People Probably Do Not Know About Lighting Fixtures

What most people probably do not know about lighting fixtures, part I: modern sconces, while perfectly alright to use on walls, are typically used in hallways, corridors, and other similar passages because they tend to provide both lighting and points of interest in what can be an otherwise featureless, long walkway. They are generally placed at 3/4 the distance up the wall, and designers try to keep the distance between sconces equal to the distance from the floor. Another commonly used technique is to place the fixtures on alternating sides of the walkway. Experts recommend that the size of a fixture be scaled to ceiling height.
