ADA Fluorescent Indicates that this fixture is ADA compliant (the extension from the wall is 4” or less) and the light source is a compact fluorescent ballast requiring the use of a specific fluorescent lamp. ADA Incandescent Indicates that this fixture is ADA compliant and the light source is either a medium base or candelabra base socket. ADA WALL SCONCE SUB-CATEGORY
