Outdoor Wall Lights

Style & finish: match your hardware — matte black for modern and farmhouse, dark bronze for traditional, brass for classic, stainless for coastal.

Brightness: 100–300 lumens per fixture for ambient entry light; 700+ for security. Multiple softer fixtures beat one harsh one.

Color temperature: warm white (2700K–3000K) flatters most homes; multi-CCT (3CCT/5CCT) lets you switch tones.

Weather rating: IP44 for covered entries, IP54+ for direct rain, and IP65 for fully exposed or coastal spots.

Smart features: dimming, dusk-to-dawn photocells, and motion sensors add convenience and cut energy use.

How high should they be mounted?
Around 66–72" from the ground at the fixture's center for entries; at or just above the top of the door for garages. Keep paired fixtures level.

Do they need a junction box?
Hardwired fixtures mount to a weatherproof junction box. Adding one in a new spot is an electrician's job.

What size for my front door?
About 1/4 to 1/3 the door's height — roughly 20–27" for a standard 80" door. Flanking pairs look best slightly smaller.

Can they double as security lights?
Yes — pair 700+ lumen fixtures with motion sensors at doors, garages, and gates, alongside always-on ambient sconces.
