Outdoor Wall Lights
Illuminate any outdoor space. Browse outdoor wall lighting options from Light House Co., including sconces, lanterns, flood lights, & pendants.
The fixture mounted next to a front door is the first piece of lighting a visitor sees and the last one a homeowner switches off at night. Outdoor wall lighting carries an unusually high curb-appeal load for its size, and the right piece signals the architectural intent of the entire facade before anyone gets close enough to read the address.
The category covers more than one product type. Lanterns built around a glass-panel form sit alongside contemporary cylindrical sconces, wide flood-style fixtures, and articulating barn-style lamps designed for garage and farmhouse exteriors. Finish durability matters here in a way it does not indoors, because outdoor wall mounted light fixtures live in weather year-round, so the collection skews toward marine-grade stainless, powder-coated cast metal, and seasoned bronze that wears in rather than out.

Best Outdoor Wall Lights for...
Front Doors and Entryways
The best outdoor wall light for a front entry is a 14 to 24-inch lantern in matte black, bronze, or weathered brass. Scale to door height and hang the centre 66 inches off the porch floor.
Garage and Driveway Facades
The best outdoor wall lights for garages are dusk-to-dawn or motion-sensing barn-style fixtures with broad downlight throw. Coverage across the driveway matters more than decorative form. Mount in matched pairs flanking each garage door.
Covered Patios and Outdoor Dining
The best outdoor wall light fixtures for covered patios are downward-facing sconces with warm 2700K output that does not attract insects. Glare control matters around a dining table. Flank seating with a pair at conversation height.
Modern Exteriors
The best modern outdoor wall lamps are slim cylindrical or rectangular up-and-down LED sconces in graphite or weathered bronze. Linear forms suit board-and-batten siding and stucco walls. Symmetrical pairs flanking the front door work best.

FAQs
How high should outdoor wall lights be installed?
Mount outdoor wall lights so the centre of the fixture sits at 66 to 72 inches above the ground, slightly above eye level for an average adult. For a standard 8-foot porch ceiling, this places the top of the lantern roughly a foot below the ceiling line.
What size outdoor wall lantern do I need for my front door?
For a single fixture next to the door, choose a lantern about one-quarter the height of the door. For a 96-inch door, a 22 to 26-inch lantern reads in proportion. When flanking with two fixtures, size each at roughly one-third the door height.
What is the difference between an outdoor wall lantern and an exterior wall lantern?
The terms are interchangeable in most product descriptions. Outdoor wall lantern is more common in North American retail, exterior wall lantern in British and design-trade contexts. Both describe a weather-rated, glass-panel wall fixture for exterior installation.
Are outdoor wall lights waterproof?
Outdoor wall lights are rated for moisture exposure, not full submersion. Look for a damp-rated tag for covered porches or a wet-rated tag for fully exposed walls. Damp-rated fixtures suit roofed entryways, while wet-rated fixtures handle direct rain on open facades.
Can I use indoor wall sconces outside?
Indoor wall sconces are not rated for moisture and will fail in outdoor service. Indoor fixtures lack the gasketed housings, corrosion-resistant materials, and sealed wiring of weather-rated exterior pieces. Use only fixtures with a damp or wet rating outdoors.
