Armed Modern Outdoor Wall Lights

Create Style Outdoors with Armed Outdoor Wall Lights

Add a touch of style to the outside of the home with an outdoor arm light. The first impression of a home or commercial space is often the outdoors. Also known as an outdoor armed sconce, these lights have an arm that moves them away from the surface of the building and into the outdoor area. Finding an adequate outdoor arm light also provides additional illumination, security and safety to the spaces outside the home, such as walkways, driveways and the yard.

Like outdoor gooseneck lights, the perfect outdoor arm light starts with the style and overall appearance of the fixture. Try to match the outdoor arm lights to the décor of the home and other existing fixtures to establish a sense of cohesion and a feeling of flow when the outside décor matches the indoors as guests come through the door. Also, check the location rating before deciding on a fixture. UL Listed Damp fixtures are safe to install in places that are not in direct contact with moisture, such as screened porches, enclosed patios or entryways with awnings. For open areas where contact with rain or snow is likely, choose gooseneck lights that are UL Listed Wet.

How to Choose Gooseneck Lights

Similar to outdoor barn lights, the perfect gooseneck light for an exterior space starts with the style and overall appearance of the fixture. A gooseneck light contains an elongated and curving stem that brings the shade of the fixture away from the fixture. This creates a certain style but also allows the outdoor gooseneck light to shine away from the surface of the building and instead beyond the home, where the light may be needed more. When it comes to fixtures that will be installed outdoors, the top consideration is the UL rating. UL Listed Damp fixtures are safe to install in places that are not in direct contact with moisture, such as screened porches, enclosed patios or entryways with awnings. For open areas where contact with rain or snow is likely, choose gooseneck lights that are UL Listed Wet.
