Outdoor Lighting
Weatherproof sconces and entry fixtures - the lamps that hold the threshold.
Most of this range is wall-mounted, and most of it is rated IP65. That is the rating worth checking outdoors: it means the fitting is sealed against dust and against water thrown from any direction, not merely dripped on from above. Confirm it on the product page before you commit anything to an exposed wall, because a fixture meant for a sheltered porch will not survive one that catches driving rain.
A second group runs on solar, which changes where you can put a light rather than how it looks - no cable, no electrician, and a spot on a fence or a path that was never going to be wired. The trade-off is honest: output depends on the day the panel has just had, so solar suits marking a path or a boundary rather than lighting a table you actually want to eat at.
At the front door, size the fixture like an entry light rather than an afterthought. Entry and foyer lighting carries the diameter rule and the 7-foot clearance line, and it applies to a pair of sconces flanking a door as much as to anything hanging. Keep the bulb warm at 2700K - this is the first light anyone sees, and cooler light reads institutional at a front door; colour temperature explained sets out the difference. For the indoor half of the same range, see wall lights.
