A low-voltage 1-light deck sconce for outdoor steps, walkways, and patios, finished in satin black with an etched glass lens.

Made of durable aluminum with an etched glass lens, this flush-mount sconce includes an integrated LED rated for over 40,000 hours. Its low-voltage design is practical and safer for outdoor use, enhancing both ambiance and security.
