Outdoor Wall Lights
Why We Love Outdoor Wall Lights
Outdoor wall lights are a great way to make a property safer. They illuminate dark corners, brighten doorways and make the general appearance of a home welcoming and warm. Today's entrance lighting comes in all shapes, sizes and design styles, from the contemporary outdoor sconce to a more traditional look gracing your front porch. There's something for everybody and every house when it comes to outdoor exterior lighting.
Where Outdoor Wall Lighting Works Best
As the name suggests, outdoor wall light fixtures and porch lights look great flanking the doorway. They highlight the architecture of the home while providing needed illumination that helps us feel safe and secure, as well as welcoming to your guests. Dark sky outdoor lights provide the same illumination without contributing to light pollution and annoying glare. These types of outdoor lighting options are especially beneficial near turtle nesting and rustic locations as they cut down on disrupting the natural habits of animals. And an outdoor wall light on the back patio helps keep the space lit for those late nights engaging in conversation outside. For fashion or function, a pair of outdoor wall lamps are a welcomed addition.
Outdoor Wall Light Ideas for Every Style
For any exterior aesthetic, you'll find a wall lamp here that is the perfect fit. Traditionally decorated spaces benefit from the colors and finishes of outdoor wall lights by Minka Lavery, while contemporary styled porches will appreciate the sleek design of sconces from Hinkley Lighting. Continue to fit a traditional deck or patio with sconces by Sea Gull Lighting. You may especially like the outdoor wall lantern look Sea Gull offers. Finally, be energy efficient and save money with LED outdoor wall lights from Modern Forms or BEGA Lighting. These options include the latest in LED technology with stylish appeal that looks great in any outdoor location.
How to Choose the Best Outdoor Wall Lights
In addition to the finding the right style for your space, you need to find an outdoor light fixture that will serve the functional purpose you need. While LED outdoor sconces are bright and welcoming, you may prefer something with softer illumination to politely welcome your guests to your front porch. And if you plan to pair your outdoor wall light with a flushmount or other type of ceiling light fixture, you'll want to find congruence in each of their designs. Lastly, when choosing any type of light fixture for an outdoor space, you'll want to check its UL listing to confirm it is wet or damp rated and safe for use anywhere water may be present.

Other Considerations
Make your front porch even more welcoming with modern outdoor accessories like a doorbell, house numbers and a mailbox. In addition to the right choice of lighting, these items help create a surprisingly warm welcome. Complete the lighting aspect of the front porch with an outdoor flushmount. Similar to an outdoor wall light, flushmounts provide ample lighting for the porch, creating an inviting presence when guests arrive. These charming additions can match any design scheme and practically any size entryway, all while being easy to install. Lastly, help confine the great outdoors to the front porch with the help of a doormat.
