Outdoor Lights

Check the rating. Outdoor lights are exposed to rain, wind and temperature changes. Before you buy, check each product page for its outdoor suitability, and choose a fully covered position if a light is meant for sheltered spaces only.

Front door. Mount wall lights about 66 inches (170 cm) above the threshold, or at roughly one third of the door's height above the top of the frame. A pair either side of the door looks balanced; a single light works for narrow entrances.

Up and down light. An up-down wall lamp, like the Dualis up-down wall lamp, washes the wall above and below for a soft, architectural look on render, wood or stone.

Motion sensors. For paths, garages and side doors, a sensor light such as the Sensora PIR wall lamp switches on only when needed.

Atmosphere. On a terrace, Fumi globe string lights add a gentle glow overhead. Keep bulbs warm, around 2700K, so outdoor light feels welcoming rather than harsh.

Next to a front door, about 66 inches (170 cm) above the threshold is a good starting point. The light should sit around eye level so it lights faces without glare.

No. Use lights that are rated for outdoor use, and check each product page before buying. Indoor fittings are not built for rain and moisture.

Warm white light around 2700K feels welcoming and suits natural materials such as wood and stone. Cooler light can look harsh at night.

Hardwired outdoor lights should be installed by a qualified electrician. Plug-in string lights only need a suitable outdoor socket.
