Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I install exterior lighting fixtures?
Exterior lights are commonly installed at entryways, porches, garages, patios, walkways, and outdoor living spaces to improve security, visibility, and curb appeal.
What finish should I choose for outdoor light fixtures?
Choose a finish that complements your door hardware, window hardware, and exterior trim. Popular finishes include matte black, oil-rubbed bronze, brushed nickel,
polished chrome, and brushed brass/gold-tone. Durable, weather-resistant materials are important for long-lasting outdoor fixtures.
Do exterior light fixtures need to be rated for wet conditions?
Yes. For outdoor use, especially exposed areas like porches or walkways, it’s best to select fixtures rated for damp or wet locations to ensure safety and durability in rain or snow.
Are LED bulbs recommended for outdoor lighting?
LED bulbs are often recommended because they consume less energy, have a longer life span, produce less heat, and maintain brightness over time — making them ideal for outdoor fixtures that stay on for long periods.
