Phansthy rechargeable wall sconces

A hard-wired sconce can be awkward when you’re renting, avoiding electrical work or simply want light beside a mirror without adding a plug. This Phansthy set uses rechargeable bulbs and a remote, giving you a way to add wall-mounted accent lighting without a wired connection.

The antique-gold fittings and white shade lean decorative rather than minimal. Each installed sconce measures 13.31 inches high, so check the wall space available before choosing a spot.

Where it shines

The cordless setup is the main practical draw. These sconces could add light beside a bedroom mirror, at a dressing table or near a bed where fixed wiring is inconvenient. For instance, mounted on either side of a vanity, they can provide an extra layer of light without a cable running down the wall. The set is also described as suitable for indoor spaces such as entryways, corridors and living rooms.

The included bulb is rechargeable by USB, and the light can be operated with either the remote or the button on the bulb. Brightness is adjustable, and the listed colour-temperature choices are 3000K, 4000K and 6500K. The product name also mentions 12 RGB colours, although the description gives less detail about how those modes work. It makes sense if you want flexible, decorative lighting and would rather avoid a hard-wired installation. If you prioritize a permanent light source and dependable everyday illumination, a wired fixture may suit you better.

What to know

The listed bulb is 1 watt, and the stated runtime is 8–9 hours at the brightest setting. That makes charging part of the routine, these are better viewed as accent or occasional-use lights than as a substitute for a powerful main light. The description calls the bulbs rechargeable but does not specify charging time or how long they take to recharge.

There is also an important detail to clarify before buying: the product is named as a set of two, while the description refers to “a” rechargeable bulb and does not clearly state how many bulbs are included. Don’t assume that each sconce comes with its own bulb without confirming the package contents. The fittings are described as steel and aluminium with an acrylic tube and white shade, but no wet-location rating is provided. Despite the listing’s mention of bathroom use and moisture resistance, that leaves the suitability for direct exposure to water unclear. Given how it is presented, treat bathroom placement as a dry-area use unless the fixture’s rating is confirmed.

Best use cases

These make the most sense where the goal is a decorative pool of light and avoiding wiring matters more than continuous output. The warm 3000K setting may suit a softer bedroom or hallway feel, while 4000K and 6500K offer cooler listed choices for mirror or dressing-table use. The remote gives you an alternative to reaching for the bulb’s button, though the product details do not specify remote range or whether it controls both sconces at once.

Not for you if you need a wired fixture, high-output task lighting or a clearly documented rating for a damp location. The antique-gold look and white shade are also a specific style choice, not a neutral fit for every room.

Closing thoughts

Choose this set for cordless, decorative wall lighting in a spot where occasional recharging is manageable. Before settling on a bathroom or vanity installation, confirm the number of included bulbs and whether the fixture is rated for that location, those missing details matter more than the colour options if you need reliable daily lighting.
