Each sconce takes one candelabra light bulb. Each light bulb can use up to a max of 60 watts. Has new wiring that is up to US code and is ready to be mounted. We recommend using LED lights because it helps preserve the antique fixtures better and longer. Antique sconces have to be adapted to modern houses. Please check with your electrician or contractor for additional specifics. These sconces have had no repairs and are complete with no missing pieces (including all its fingers and toes). There are a few smalls nicks and small chips of wood. These sconces have had no repairs. The union to where the pieces of wood are connected can be seen which is normal. The sconces have been waxed.
