Learn how to install a battery-powered wall light with no electrical wiring needed. Step-by-step guide for the Verso Wireless Wall Light and similar models.

Quick answer

You can install a wireless wall light without any wiring by choosing a battery-powered model like the Verso Wireless Wall Light, then mounting it with the included bracket and screws. No electrician or electrical work is needed.

Why choose a wireless wall light?

Wireless wall lights are ideal for spaces where running new electrical cable is impractical or expensive. They work well in hallways, alcoves, or rented homes where you cannot alter the wiring. The trade-off is that you need to recharge or replace the battery periodically, and the light output is typically lower than a hardwired fixture.

What to look for in a battery wall light

When shopping for a no-wiring wall light, check the battery type, runtime, and charging method. The Verso Wireless Wall Light uses a rechargeable battery and includes a USB charging port, so you can top it up without removing the fixture. Also consider the mounting system: most models use a simple bracket that attaches to the wall with screws and wall plugs.

Step-by-step installation

Choose your location: Select a spot on the wall where you want the light. Make sure it is within reach of a USB charger for periodic recharging. Mark the mounting holes with a pencil. Avoid placing the light behind furniture that blocks access to the charging port.
Drill pilot holes and insert wall plugs: Use a drill bit that matches the size of the supplied wall plugs. Drill holes at your marks, then tap the plugs in flush with the wall surface. If mounting on plasterboard, use appropriate hollow-wall anchors instead of standard plugs.
Attach the mounting bracket: Hold the bracket against the wall and align it with the plugs. Drive the screws through the bracket into the plugs until the bracket is snug. Do not overtighten the screws, or you may strip the plug or crack the bracket.
Mount the light fixture: Slide or clip the Verso Wireless Wall Light onto the mounting bracket until it clicks or locks into place. Ensure it is secure before letting go. Check that the light is level before fully engaging the lock – some brackets allow minor adjustment.
Charge and test: Plug the included USB cable into the light’s charging port and connect it to a USB power source. Allow the battery to fully charge before first use, then turn on the light using the built-in switch or remote. Charge the light in place if the cable reaches a nearby outlet; otherwise, remove the fixture temporarily.
