What is this fixture?

[George Stolz]

I was looking at fixtures online, what is this?


Is it a step light? I don't see a cover...?

I'll take a stab.

I'm going to say it is a recessed wall sconce, shown as a rough kit only. The box looks like it is designed for flush mounting (though I don't quite understand the metal loops attached to the sides.) And the brass thumb screw on the bottom center would be a likely attachment point for the trim/lens kit (of which there are probably multiple options.) I've installed similar animals, some of which actually looked pretty nice when trimmed.

That looks a little like the rough in portion for flush x-ray reading lights, except these lamps are sticking out at the top. From the loops, I'd guess that maybe this is the rough in portion of an old-work fluorescent wall sconce.

It's a firerated wall sconce box. The clips are "remodel retention mounting clips" (think madisons, steamboats,...).

It's labeled as a sconce but the page doesn't list which trims go with it? Typical for Progress lighting

Here's the LINK

Ok, that makes sense. I've never installed these as a remodel. I've installed many of the new work variety in condo and hotel corridors.
