This ‘anywhere’ light is such a fun way to easily add a wall sconce to your home. There’s no need to pay an electrician to hardwire the fixture, and there’s no cord hanging down your wall. These awesome puck lights are remote controlled and have a dimmer and timer! It’s also a good way to test out having a light fixture in a location before permanently adding it. You can find some of my favorite wall sconces on my ‘Anywhere Light’ blog post (under DIY).

I have always wanted to put sconces up but didn’t want the wiring!! Absolute game changer!! Thank you!!!

@Amy804Sycamore 3 года назад

Me too! You're so welcome!

@CheerUp2 3 года назад

The way you literally saved my life. I have a bathroom that only has one outlet and I need it for straightener and blowdryer, so I cant plug in a plug in sconces. It also is n a very awkward spot that wouldnt reach my mirror, but I needed extra light since its hard to see myself putting on makeup. And Its in a apartment so I cant hardwire stuff into the wall, so this is perfect!!!!

@Amy804Sycamore 2 года назад

I'm so glad! You should also know that there are battery operated light bulb sockets that can go in a lamp - making the lamp cordless. rstyle.me/+uhHMuiU8OqNgVpa2vuFjrg

This is absolutely genius. Thank you so much for sharing. Will try to replicate this in my rental apartment.

@Amy804Sycamore 3 года назад

These are perfect for apartment living - not permanent, but a custom touch!

@HeronCoyote1234 8 месяцев назад

I sort of did the same thing, but with a $10 lamp from Walmart. I removed the wiring, attached a puck light to the bulb covering (it was that type of lamp). I originally had it by my kitchen sink, but have since moved it to a dark closet, on the shelf. I just hold the lamp and press the puck light.

If you decide where to hang them and there's not a stud there, just make sure to use anchors in the drywall~ Good luck, they'll look great wherever you decide.

I just got battery operated on Amazon. They have a rechargeable light bulb. So much easier

@jeaniechampagne8831 3 месяца назад

I couldn't really see the bracket and didn't see it listed in your supplies. Did it come with the sconce? Do you have a source where this bracket can be found? Without, no hangy sconce, right?

@Amy804Sycamore 3 месяца назад

A bracket comes with every light fixture.

You now can just buy remote control light bulbs that will screw in

@nickstavro4682 2 месяца назад

@Amy804Sycamore Do you just snip the original wires off? Thanks!

@Amy804Sycamore 2 месяца назад

Good question! No, I just tuck them up into the base of the wall mount. That way I can have them hardwired in the future, or sell them.

@souphunsaker339 3 года назад

Curious is the pucks are warm white or the harsh blue?

@Amy804Sycamore 3 года назад

That's a good question! When you turn them on they have the blue tint, but once they're in that glass shade, they warm up and have a warm tone, no blue at all.

@hovawart16 2 года назад

I had to watch with the sound off so you might have said, but if I keep the lights on for five or six hours a night, how often will I have to replace the batteries? Looking for livingroom lights in a small room where lamps don't work well, but where there is a lot of vertical wall space.

@Amy804Sycamore 2 года назад

That's a great question. You could probably find out the life of the lights on the description of the puck light you're considering purchasing.

@pambenzing2700 2 года назад

I tried battery operated puck lights in my hallway and was very dissatisfied with how short the battery life was in them. I was using rechargeable batteries and only getting about 16 hours of life out of them. You might try buying just one light to test out how long the batteries will last in it before investing in more than that.

@lisaclaiborne4180 2 года назад

How would you replace the batteries in the puck light?

@Amy804Sycamore 2 года назад

They're attached with velcro, so just pull it out of the light and unscrew the back plate.

@melissamontgomery5778 3 года назад

Looks great! Does one remote control work for both lights or do you need two?

@Amy804Sycamore 3 года назад

Both! That would be a pain if not :)

@tiffphan1051 2 года назад

How has it held up so far?? Also, is it possible to only turn on one light at a time with the remote or does it only turn on both lights at once?

@Amy804Sycamore 2 года назад

The sconces are still going strong. I don't use the accent lighting a lot in this space, but it's fun for ambiance sometimes. If I stand on one far side, I can get just one to turn on, but I would only want them both on for aesthetics.

@Courtz843 2 года назад

Do they both work with the same remote?

@Amy804Sycamore 2 года назад

Yes, they do~

@mcgypsy9449 3 года назад

I very much love this hack but my only question is are the lights bright enough?

@Amy804Sycamore 3 года назад

They are not bright like a task light. They are truly an ambiance light. However, my husband has them in his closet so that he can get dressed with some light and not wake me up with the room light.

@mcgypsy9449 3 года назад

@@Amy804Sycamore I just ordered some similar lights that are battery operated and I’m hoping they will give me a bit brighter light that I am looking for. I love what you’ve created here and would definitely consider these for places i want more ambient lighting. Great hack!

@ericashell 2 года назад

Hi! Can you tell me what bracket you used? TIA!

@Amy804Sycamore 2 года назад

Hi Erica, I'm not sure what you mean by bracket. The wall sconce came with a means to attach it to the wall, and I used velcro to attach the puck light. Hope that helps. Thanks, Amy

@mirandaglenville3377 2 года назад

How do you sync both bulbs? Do you have a special remote?

@Amy804Sycamore 2 года назад

Great question. I just pressed the on button and then the off and they worked at the same time - no special syncing involved.

@lindsayschutte5481 2 года назад

Do the pucks ever fall out?

@Amy804Sycamore 2 года назад

They haven't yet! The velcro adhesive is crazy sticky and strong, but I suppose gravity can take it's toll over time.

@patriciakayne1393 2 года назад

Can I use this for a reading light??

@Amy804Sycamore 2 года назад

Maybe. But you may consider the magic bulb which is brighter and remote operated as well: rstyle.me/+Atmqa1raZj2mddbiZ5RCbA

@DeathbyLibra 29 дней назад

So you just change batteries every day? Because puck lights suck batteries dry fast…

@Amy804Sycamore 18 дней назад

I suppose if I had these lights turned on all day, it would drain the batteries. Since this video, I've replaced the pucks with rechargeable bulbs. I still use these sconces for accents, not everyday task lighting.

@nicolelane7572 3 года назад

Hi. Question..why did you leave the wires? I’ve seen others cut them out?

@sharell814 3 года назад

It isn't necessary to cut them as demonstrated here. Not cutting them allows them to be used somewhere else in the future plugged in

@Amy804Sycamore 2 года назад

Great question! I left them in just in case. We may have them hardwired there or elsewhere, or I may sell them someday. THere's no reason to cut them, they easily tuck inside~

@ramindians Год назад

How did give electricity

@Amy804Sycamore Год назад

It doesn't, it's wireless. That's what makes it an anywhere light - batteries or a rechargeable bulb.

@Hotwash544 2 года назад

Can u show it at night? Doesn't look bright at all

@curtischildress9580 2 года назад

They're sort of like night lights or peel 'n' stick under cabinet lights. The batteries don't last long in puck lights when used often. 4 puck lights are about as bright as a regular 40-watt bulb.

@Amy804Sycamore 2 года назад

They're not bright. These are definitely for ambiance and not task lighting purposes.

@lindapreston9117 Год назад

Now you got that up, but you really didn’t show how. There was no view of the wiring connection which is the main part. And to speed up the demonstration looses all touch from the viewer. Now do it slowly and show the wire connections.

@gailwilliams5278 Год назад

There are no wire connections. That’s why she uses battery-powere puck lights.

@Amy804Sycamore Год назад

This project is for those who aren't wanting to hardwire a sconce. It bypasses that step because it's a battery operated bulb.

@manuelcalleja92 Год назад

@@Amy804Sycamore Thanks for the link. I had the same question. How do you recharge the bulb if the socket its in is not hard wired? Do you unscrew the bulb and put it into another socket that is hard wired to recharge it and then put the bulb back into the non-hardwired fixture?
