It is that time of year again; back-to-school time. From now until mid-September, students are heading to college dorm rooms all across the country.

A wall sconce (sconce, for short) is an ornamental bracket fixed to a wall for holding a candle or an electric light of one kind or another. The electric light source could be incandescent, xenon, halogen, fluorescent, or even LEDs.
