NUVO Lighting 60-5376 Empire, 1-Light, Wall Sconce, Brushed Nickel with Alabaster Glass

Yes. The Empire 60-5376 sconce carries a damp location rating, so it is suitable for a bathroom vanity wall where it will see steam and humidity, and NUVO classifies it as a vanity and wall fixture. It is an indoor fixture only, so keep it out of exterior or wet locations like an uncovered porch or a spot in a shower spray.

It takes one A19 lamp with a medium E26 screw base, rated to 60W maximum at 120V. No bulb ships with the fixture, so order lamps separately. A 60W-equivalent LED A19 in E26 works fine electrically, but dimming depends entirely on the lamp you choose, not the fixture, since there is no driver in it.

The Empire 60-5376 projects 5 inches off the wall, measures 10 inches wide and 9.63 inches high. The 5 inch extension matters in a tight hallway or beside a door swing. At 2.46 lbs it is light enough to hang off a standard wall box with the supplied crossbar, no extra blocking needed.

No. The Empire 60-5376 is not ADA compliant, and with a 5 inch projection it is not suitable where ADA protrusion limits apply, such as a required egress corridor or stairway between 27 and 80 inches above the floor. For those locations choose an ADA-rated sconce. It is fine in dwelling unit interiors, bedrooms, and bath vanities where the restriction does not apply.

It is cULus listed, which covers both US and Canadian safety listing for an inspector. The fixture is also RoHS compliant. Note that it carries a California Prop 65 lead warning, which matters if you are specifying for California projects or need to pass that disclosure along.

The body is steel in a brushed nickel finish, with a single alabaster glass shade. Alabaster is an opaque white diffusing glass, so the light reads soft and even rather than clear and sparkly. If you are matching other openings in a building, the Empire collection is the family to stay within for the same glass and finish treatment.

The 60-5376 is the brushed nickel with alabaster glass version of the Empire 1-light sconce, and brushed nickel is the only finish under that part number. Other finishes in the Empire collection carry their own NUVO part numbers, so order by the number that matches the finish you need rather than expecting an option on this one.

The Empire 60-5376 is a wall-mounted sconce built around a single glass shade and one socket. NUVO publishes it in the orientation shown for the fixture, so plan the install at the height the shade is intended to sit. If a job needs a specific uplight or downlight throw, verify orientation against the fixture before roughing in the box height.
