When it comes to lighting the exterior of your home, it’s not only for a visual impact but for security and safety as well. Walking up to the front door should never be something that causes hesitation in homeowners or their guests. The pathway should be in plain view and well lit as should the front porch area.

Many builders include carriage lights or outdoor wall sconce lighting to illuminate the garage, driveway and front door areas. Often, homeowners will opt to replace this standard lighting with outdoor sconces or other types of lighting that are more cohesive with the interior style of their new home. You can even find something to go with your gooseneck floor lamps! There are also options for dealing with your garden lighting.

Before replacing or installing a new outdoor wall sconce or other types of exterior lighting, it’s important to keep a few things in mind that will help you to make the right decisions.

Style is a big consideration as the lighting will not illuminate the exterior of the home, it will also be visible in daylight and should reflect the style of the home as well as the home owner’s individual tastes. If the architecture is traditional or contemporary, then so should be the outdoor sconce and other lighting fixtures.

Size is important because the outdoor wall sconces need to offer enough light as well as look appropriate for the space. Houses are large and wall sconces can be dwarfed by the exterior of the home. That said, going too large can cause the wall sconces to be overwhelming.

Placement of your outdoor wall sconce is also an important factor. The sconces should be hung just above eye level so as not to be too harsh on the eyes when approaching the entrance of the home. The actual space on which the sconce is hung will depend on the home and where the lighting is needed. Many homeowners choose to use flourescent outdoor wall sconces to keep the cost of utilities down. Remember thought that flourescent lighting may not operate correctly in temperatures below 25 degrees Fahrenheit.

There are countless styles of outdoor wall scones as well as finishes and sizes. They can range in cost to fit any budget and are usually priced from under $50 to well into the low or mid $100’s.
