You can use the Fat Boy Wireless Bowl Sconce Lamp as a bowl or hang it on the wall, and the magnetic light puck can be placed anywhere within the bowl. But it’s just not quite right for being a primary, or even secondary, light source — even the brightest setting has only enough light to serve as a night-light.The Fermob Aplô Pack Lamp H.9 and Wall Light Bracket (part of the Aplô collection) hangs via a bracket that can be attached with either screws or adhesive tape, and it can be used with various other attachments, including a floor lamp and a hanging strap. But it had a similarly short battery life to the Poplight at double the price.The Koti Solune Toggle Light is more of a night-light, with a playful toggle that you can click on and off. But it comes with only adhesive strips to hang it, which are nearly impossible to pry off. If you don’t mind damaging your walls, it could be a cute option.Like the Toggle Light above, the Koti Bar Light also gives off a relatively dim light, and it was nearly impossible to pry off due to its incredibly sticky backing.The Landgoo Wooden Motion Sensor Light is more of a dim night-light. It stayed lit for only about eight hours. When I tried to remove it from the painted MDF, the adhesive tape was so stuck on that I bent the base in half.We thought the Merlight Wall Sconce was a cordless sconce, given how it’s presented on Amazon, but it turns out it’s simply a regular light fixture that comes with a generic rechargeable LED bulb and, perplexingly, wires. What’s more, the instructions to install it were very confusing, and the metal scratches easily.The Pottery Barn Kids Amelia Rechargeable Wall Sconce was very similar to the (now discontinued) West Elm Heidi Rechargeable Sconce; they had the same remote, and both their batteries lasted about 10 hours. However, for the price, the quality wasn’t there. Both of their shades looked cheap in-person, and the plastic underside of the Amelia sconce snapped off when I dropped it (and I could not get it back into place).The Pooky Scoon Cordless Wall Light was easy to install and offered similar reading-light attributes to the Koopala LED Sconce: The light puck rotates easily on a magnetic base, pointing light where you need it, and for roughly the same length of time (about 17 hours). But it also costs about four times as much and has only one light temperature. It’s a great reading light if you like the look of it.The Pure Mdrn Circa Wall Sconce is a 3D-printed fixture made with PLA, a type of biodegradable plastic. It uses a generic color LED bulb, similar to the one used in the Shenmoyl Sconce below (their remotes are identical), and lasted an impressive 20 hours in testing. Although in photos the lamp’s textured finish reminded me of pretty stucco, up close it just looked very plasticky and cheap.Like the Merlight Wall Sconce, the Shenmoyl Vintage Battery Operated Wall Sconce is a regular fixture that uses a generic rechargeable LED bulb, which means you can either hardwire it or use it cordlessly. But it’s very frustrating to hang and build, and the quality was lacking.This article was edited by Daniela Gorny and Joanne Chen.
