Great sconce. I love the Edison bulb that came with it. I think there is a coating on it because it puts off a really warm light. I have other Edison bulbs and they aren't this warm...but I like it because it puts off a nice light in the hallway. The only complaint I have is that the socket is slightly tilted so the bulb leans to one side. We ordered 2 lights and they were both like that. But we are keeping it!
