Flood Outdoor Wall Lights

Wall Mounted Flood Lights

Wall mounted flood lights are the perfect display for outside of the home. Providing additional safety, security and a layer of light, these lights transform the view of the outside of the home. Mounted to the wall, they provide a direct glow in a desired direction, whether down to the door to see who approached at night, to a patio surface to help guide when it is dark outside or over a lawn in the distance for additional security. Coming in a range of styles, flood lights are not limited to a single look that may not match with the home. Every home benefits from adding flood lights. The simple silhouette of flood lights has not changed much over the years, sticking to a basic form that provides utmost function. Another consideration are dark sky outdoor wall sconces, which minimize light pollution. Illuminating the home and yard is not limited to wall mounted fixtures. Outdoor LED spotlights, some of which mount in the ground, are an effective option as well.

How to Choose the Best Outdoor Wall Mounted Flood Light

Depending on the needs of the home or building, a flood light can offer a variety of features. Residential and commercial flood lights usually offer one or two light sources. The backplate mounts directly to the wall, and the lights extend out on brief arms. Many flood lights are adjustable, able to point in the direction needed and able to shift easily should personal preference change. With two lights, both can be pointed at different angles as well, providing a full glow in different directions for adding home coverage. Many flood lights use integrated LEDs which are more energy-efficient and provide longer lifespan for the unit, but some still use halogen bulbs.

When installing a flood light, there are many factors to consider. The direction the lights will shine in, the objects they are meant to illuminate, the distance and intensity of the light, the height the light is mounted to the house and the number of flood lights needed around the house are all important factors to consider. Too many lights, not enough lights or lights not pointed in the right direction can provide the opposite desired effect. Ensure proper research is done so that the light matches with the exterior home style and provides the right amount of light desired.
