Antique Brass Landscape Sconce Up/Down Spot Light

GLE Solid Brass 12V Outdoor Cylinder Sconce — Bi-Directional Up/Down Wall Spotlight IP65 Antique Bronze

A professional-grade solid brass 12V outdoor cylinder sconce built for landscape lighting installers and serious DIYers who need a wall-mounted fixture that delivers both upward and downward light simultaneously. The GLE cylinder landscape sconce combines solid die-cast brass construction with a clean cylindrical profile and bi-directional up/down spot light output — creating the kind of sophisticated wall-mounted accent lighting that transforms outdoor walls, pillars, columns, fences, and structures from plain surfaces into intentional design features.

At 5.75 inches, this compact but heavyweight cylinder sconce packs the visual impact of a much larger fixture through the drama of simultaneous up and down light casting. Mounted on a wall or structure, the upward beam washes the surface above the fixture while the downward beam illuminates the surface below — creating a halo of warm light around the fixture that adds depth, texture, and dimension to any outdoor vertical surface. Buy direct from GLE and get professional installer grade solid brass at a price that cuts out the distributor and middleman markup entirely.

GLE Cylinder Sconce — Key Features:

• Bi-directional up and down spot light output — simultaneous upward and downward beam output from a single fixture creates a wall halo lighting effect that single-direction sconces and spotlights cannot replicate. The up/down output adds depth and visual drama to walls, columns, pillars, and outdoor structures
• Solid die-cast brass construction — heavier, more durable, and more corrosion resistant than aluminum and plastic sconce alternatives. Brass resists rust, oxidation, and the weathering that destroys cheaper outdoor wall fixtures over time while developing a natural patina that only improves with age
• Clean cylindrical profile — the streamlined cylinder form sits flush and purposeful against any outdoor wall surface. Equally at home on contemporary modern exteriors and traditional architectural styles without clashing with either
• Antique bronze finish — warm, sophisticated finish that complements stone, brick, stucco, wood, and natural landscape materials without fading, peeling, or oxidizing over time
• MR16 12V LED compatible — accepts standard MR16 12V LED bulbs for focused, energy efficient, long-life spot illumination. Bulb sold separately — see GLE MR16 LED replacement bulbs for compatible options
• IP65 wet location rated — fully certified for outdoor wet location installation, handling direct rain, wall moisture, and year-round weather exposure without compromising fixture integrity or electrical safety
• 72 inch UL listed pre-wired lead wire — professional length lead wire ready for direct connection to your 12V low voltage landscape lighting system without additional splicing at the fixture
• Wall and structure mount design — mounts directly to outdoor walls, pillars, columns, fence posts, pergola uprights, and outdoor structures for clean, permanent fixture placement without ground stakes or landscape bed positioning
• 12V AC/DC input — compatible with all standard 12V low voltage landscape lighting transformers. Transformer sold separately
• Transparent glass lens — clean, clear light transmission for accurate, warm spot output without the color distortion and yellowing of plastic lens alternatives
• Compact 5.75 inch form — small enough to mount discretely on narrow surfaces and tight spaces while delivering the full visual impact of the bi-directional up/down light output
• Heavyweight 0.75 lb brass construction — the weight tells the story. Solid brass construction you feel the moment you handle this fixture — not the hollow lightweight feel of aluminum and plastic wall sconces at the same price point

The Up/Down Cylinder Sconce vs Standard Uplights and Spotlights — What Is the Difference?

The GLE cylinder sconce fills a specific role in a landscape lighting design that neither a ground-mounted uplight nor a standard spotlight can cover — wall-mounted bi-directional accent lighting on vertical surfaces:

• Ground-mounted uplights cast light upward from below — ideal for trees, shrubs, and architectural features viewed from a distance. They require clear ground space around the fixture and cannot be used where wall mounting is the only option
• Standard spotlights deliver a single focused beam in one direction — powerful for accent lighting specific features but without the layered up/down wall halo effect the cylinder sconce creates
• The GLE cylinder sconce mounts directly to the vertical surface and casts light both up and down simultaneously — the only way to create the wall halo lighting effect on columns, pillars, fence lines, and outdoor structures where ground mounting is not practical or where the fixture itself needs to be the design feature

Where to Use the GLE Cylinder Sconce:

• Outdoor columns and pillars — mount at mid-height on columns flanking an entry gate, driveway approach, or front door for a formal, symmetrical wall halo effect that defines the entry and creates a dramatic first impression
• Perimeter fence and wall lighting — mount along fence lines, garden walls, and perimeter walls at regular intervals to wash vertical surfaces with warm up/down light that adds depth and security lighting to property boundaries
• Pergola and gazebo upright lighting — mount on pergola posts and gazebo uprights for warm ambient lighting that makes outdoor living structures usable and inviting after dark without overhead fixture installation
• Outdoor stairway and landing walls — mount on stairway walls and landing surfaces to illuminate level changes with up/down light that enhances safety and adds architectural detail to outdoor stair designs
• Garage and outbuilding facade accenting — flank garage doors, workshop entries, and outbuilding facades with cylinder sconces for practical illumination and architectural accent lighting that extends the home's landscape lighting design to secondary structures
• Retaining wall accent lighting — mount on retaining wall faces at regular intervals to wash tiered wall surfaces with warm bi-directional light that highlights the wall's texture and creates depth in multi-level landscape designs
• Commercial facade and entrance lighting — building entrances, covered walkways, parking structure walls, and commercial exterior surfaces where wall-mounted bi-directional accent lighting creates a professional, welcoming environment

Combining the GLE Cylinder Sconce with Other GLE Fixtures: Professional landscape lighting installers use the cylinder sconce as part of a layered lighting design rather than as a standalone fixture. The most effective combinations:

• Cylinder sconce on columns + brass uplights on flanking trees — the wall-mounted up/down sconce on entry columns paired with ground-mounted uplights on trees flanking the entry creates a complete, layered entry lighting design with multiple light sources at different heights
• Cylinder sconce on fence posts + path lights along the approach — perimeter fence sconces combined with GLE Centennial or Two Tier Pagoda path lights along the driveway approach creates a fully illuminated arrival sequence from the street to the front door
• Cylinder sconce on pergola uprights + downlights overhead — wall-mounted sconces on pergola posts combined with overhead deck cylinder downlights creates complete ambient and accent lighting for outdoor living structures
