Wow this is great Jen! I was googling to find these wall lamps for cheaper than Barn Electric and stumbled across your post. I love the idea for the toggle switch. Mine will be mounted up high, so I’ll have to add a wall switch instead, but love how your’s look.

LOVE a million times over! Fabulous idea and I love a good DIY project…too bad I’m way too scared to play with electrical wires though. 🙁 Might have to do the first parts myself and then call an electrician to play with the wall wires. Thanks so much for your tutorial!

Hello – I got the exact same lights for a bedroom at the beach! I was wondering 2 things: a.) How high up are the lights off the floor? and b.) how far apart are the lights. the lights we have are going in a room with a full size bed. We were thinking 5 feet up off the floor but I don’t want them too high…
Thanks so much for this posting. It’s great.

Thank you so much for such great detailed directions complete with pictures. I have two modern, (think cheap hotel) hard wired lights that have pull chains thanks to a previous owner. They are flanking a beautiful stone fireplace. Since the wall is stone, changing the lights and adding a switch seemed too risky. I’ve looked at those switches in Home Depot but never got a satisfactory answer as to how they were best installed. I now feel perfectly confident that I can find beautiful rustic wall sconces and will follow your directions to give them a switch. Thanks again!

They look so good! We did the exact same thing in our Airstream. I found a cute jar light fixtures that is for outside porches and Jason added a switch. I had no idea how he did it though because he is the one in charge of electrical stuff at our house:)
