normally would design my own, but was somewhat stumped as to how the socket and sconce was mounted.Anyway, I still may design my own, but I'm wondering how to determine what a safe wattage for the bulb would be?

How do I determine design, space between bulb and sconce? Note, the sconces will be on a dimmer.
