NUVO Lighting 60-6688 Olmstead, 1-Light, Wall Sconce, Polished Nickel Finish with White Linen Shade

The Olmstead 60-6688 takes a single candelabra-base (E12) bulb, Type B shape, up to 60W at 120V. No bulb is included, so order lamps separately. It is an incandescent-technology fixture, and dimming depends entirely on the lamp you put in it, so if you are putting it on a dimmer, choose a dimmable candelabra lamp.

Yes for a bathroom vanity wall, no for anywhere it gets wet. The Olmstead 60-6688 is damp location rated and indoor only, which covers typical bathroom humidity but not a shower or tub enclosure spray zone or an exterior wall. It is catalogued by NUVO as a vanity and wall fixture. Keep in mind the shade is white linen, which is a fabric shade and not what most people choose directly over a steamy shower.

No. The Olmstead 60-6688 is not ADA compliant, and at 6.75 inches of extension it projects well past the 4 inch limit that governs wall-mounted objects in accessible routes. For a commercial corridor or a school or healthcare egress path, specify an ADA-rated sconce instead. It is fine on a non-circulation wall, in a guest room, or flanking a vanity mirror where the projection is not in a path of travel.

It carries a cULus safety listing, which covers both US and Canadian installations, and the fixture is RoHS compliant. Note the CA Prop 65 disclosure for lead, which applies to California installs.

It is a wall-mount fixture with 6 inches of supply wire on the fixture side. Six inches is short, so make sure your box has enough free conductor left in it to make up the splice inside the box; if the existing wires were cut back flush on a remodel, add pigtails before you hang it. The fixture weighs 2.11 lbs, so a standard wall box will carry it with no extra bracing.

The body is steel in a polished nickel finish, with a white linen shade and a glass element. Steel and glass take handling fine; the linen shade is the part that shows wear in high-turn units, since fabric picks up dust and staining and cannot be wiped down the way an acrylic or glass shade can. For corridor or heavy-turnover applications, a glass-shaded fixture is the easier long-term call.

The 60-6688 is built one way: polished nickel with a white fabric linen shade. There is no alternate finish under this part number, so if you are matching brass or black hardware elsewhere in the room, you are looking at a different NUVO part number in the Olmstead collection rather than an option on this one.

Yes, as long as it is an E12 candelabra base lamp and stays at or under the 60W rating. The fixture is a socket-and-shade incandescent-technology design, not an integrated LED, so an LED candelabra lamp drops straight in and is the usual choice for a property manager cutting relamping trips. CCT is not selectable at the fixture, so whatever color temperature you want comes from the lamp you buy.
