One of the popularly used fixtures these days are the wall sconces. They are actually being used since a very long time. Earlier they were used to hold candles and torches, but now they are available in many different styles to fulfill your lighting needs.
These fixtures can be used as task lighting to perform specific tasks or can also be used to soft environment lights for illuminating the space but not very brightly. The lighting effect produced by the fixture will be determined by the type of material and style chosen.

You can use sconces with halogen or xenon bulbs for work areas like reading etc. These provide bright white light that will be suitable for such tasks.
