Why the Modern Lantern Emily Rechargeable Wall Lamps are a Designer's Dream
Lighting has a massive impact on the layout of a room, but hardwired sconces force you to work around existing structural lines. Whether you want a beautifully lit fireplace mantle, soft reading ambient light over a bedside table, or a warm welcome in a dark hallway, structural roadblocks can halt your design plans.
Long gone are the days of having to choose between ugly exposed cords dangling down your drywall or spending hundreds of dollars to hire an electrician. This specific fixture bridges the gap by offering premium designer aesthetics backed by highly efficient, patented battery-operated engineering.
The Emily Cordless Wall Sconce completely bypasses these limitations. Designed entirely around wire-free flexibility, this lighting solution mounts to almost any flat wall surface in just minutes without requiring access to an outlet and without having those ugly cords being visible.
Customizable High-End Design
Unlike cheaper plastic battery puck lights, the Emily is a substantial, designer-grade statement piece. They are constructed of a sleek metal body available in elegant finishes like antique brass and satin black.
The design is versatile and customizable as you can select a variety of shade options to match your specific interior aesthetic:
- Classic Linen Fabric with an integrated frosted diffuser on top
- Woven Rattan which adds a natural textures, coastal warmth, or bohemian style
- Sleek Metal which is perfect for mid-century modern or industrial spaces
Additionally, Modern Lantern updated the model to use a timeless spider shade configuration complete with a harp and finial. This design choice means your fixture can effortlessly evolve if you want to switch shade styles down the road on your own.
Patented Performance Specs That Last
The real magic of the Emily sconce lies hidden inside its 5-inch diameter wall plate base. Rather than forcing you to constantly buy disposable batteries (or worse, throw out your lamp if you cannot change the battery) the Emily lamps run on our proprietary, heavy-duty 12V Li-Ion 2600mAh rechargeable mini battery pack. Use the lamp often? You can purchase a spare so the sconce can always be ready.
The performance specs highlight its everyday practicality:
- True Brightness: The included 5W dimmable LED bulb pumps out a generous 500 lumens of a cozy, warm 2700K light.
- Extended Battery Life: You get more than 8 hours of runtime at maximum brightness. If you lower the brightness via the manual dial switch, the lifespan expands dramatically to up to 48+ hours on a single charge.
- Rapid Recharging: When the power runs low, simply slide up the fixture off the wall, pull the battery out via its easy-to-use finger latch mechanism and plug it into the included wall charger—it recharges completely in roughly 2 hours. Two battery packs means no downtime ever!
How to Install the Emily in Minutes
Putting the Emily up on your wall is an easy 15-Minute DIY project. Every box comes standard with a compact metal wall mounting plate, screws, and drywall anchors.
You secure the lightweight bracket directly to your drywall using two screws. Once the bracket is safely in place, the backplate of the sconce seamlessly slips right over it for a flush, professional finish. Because the fit needs to be snug, just ensure your targeted wall area is reasonably flat before driving in the screws. NOTE, all walls can be different so do your research there first.
