Outdoor Sconces (wall lights)

Like all fixtures, exterior sconces serve both a functional and decorative function. It’s important to consider both elements when choosing an outdoor light:

  • Function- Typically wall sconces project light both outwards and down, while some also cast light upwards. Because the maximum wattage is specific to each fixture, make sure that the capacity matches your needs.
  • Aesthetics- Outdoor sconces come in every style from minimalist Modern to ornate Victorian. You can choose a style that matches your architecture, or contrasts with it. For example, a simple contemporary exterior sconce can give a modern feel to an older home (although a traditional sconce on a modern home probably is not a wise idea). Like a piece of jewelry, a sconce can either become of focal point or blend into the larger composition.

Beautiful Exterior Wall Sconces

 

Well placed wall sconces illuminate and adorn your home’s exterior for all to see and enjoy. In addition to their decorative nature, these exterior wall sconces are created with a top cover which improves night visibility and saves energy over up lights that cast out to the night sky and offer little light below. Choose two sconces to put at either side of your front door for a dramatic touch.
