Choosing particular exterior lighting fixtures depends on the purpose for which you plan to use the light.

For instance, if you're trying to keep unwanted guests out, motion-sensing outdoor security lights can scare off animals or human prowlers.

If you're trying to showcase the beauty of your property, you can't go wrong with outdoor wall lights, pathway lights, or wall sconces.

Another point to consider is how many lights you use. Landscape lights should accentuate and highlight outdoor settings, not distract from them or drown them out. Having multiple light fixtures generally makes for more effective illumination as it is easier to disperse the light so no one fixture is too bright.

Whichever front yard lights or backyard lights you choose, make sure you are aware of any city regulations or homeowner's association guidelines that may restrict the type or brightness of the lighting options you have to choose from.

A linear wall sconce is a type of wall light designed to provide elegant, horizontal or vertical illumination along a wall surface. These lighting fixtures are perfect for accent lighting, highlighting architectural features, or creating an inviting atmosphere in any space. Their sleek, elongated design makes them a favorite among interior designers for both modern and contemporary homes.

Of the four types of light bulbs you can use for the outdoors, LED lights are your best bet for a number of reasons:

• They don’t heat up nearly as much as fluorescent, incandescent or halogen lights (which nearly entirely prevents the risk of a fire hazard for your house)
• They last far longer than all other bulbs
• They’re more energy-efficient
• They’re environmentally friendly

Just like the other lighting options, LED lights do have some cons: these bulbs are expensive and their light is emitted in one direction, not everywhere, as is the case with incandescent lights.

That said, we consider these points a bit moot considering that a) the over-time savings of energy efficiency will make the price worth it and b) there is a wide range of lenses that can help diffuse the light in more directions than one.

This varies greatly depending on what purpose the outdoor wall lights are serving.

For example, if the exterior lights are meant merely as decoration to maximize aesthetic appeal, you could use anywhere from 50 to 200 lumens for adequate illumination.

If, however, you're looking for security lighting or want to illuminate an area for work, (e.g. garage lighting) solely using a wall light, you might need anywhere from 200 to 700 lumens. To give you an idea, flood lights are generally 700 lumens because they're meant to expose dark areas to the light.

The other variable is personal preference. Some like to have more light in general, while others are more comfortable with the ambiance created by the soft glow of lower lighting. Oftentimes, wall lights themselves—as well as the texture they accent—are more appealing with a lower lighting setting. If you find yourself stuck deciding, try a smart-enabled dimmable option.

LED strip wall lights offer numerous advantages:

• Energy Efficiency: They consume less power compared to traditional lighting, resulting in lower energy bills.
• Longevity: LEDs have a longer lifespan, reducing the frequency of replacements.
• Versatility: Available in various lengths and brightness levels, they can be customized to fit different spaces and design preferences.

Easy Installation: Many models are designed for straightforward mounting on various surfaces.

Yes, our LED wall sconces are highly energy-efficient and long-lasting. They consume significantly less power than traditional incandescent bulbs while delivering consistent brightness and superior illumination quality. The integrated LED technology also offers excellent color temperature control, allowing you to achieve warm or cool tones depending on your preference.

Linear wall sconces are incredibly versatile and can be installed in various indoor and outdoor spaces, including:

• Hallways and corridors – for ambient illumination and safety
• Bedrooms – as stylish reading lights or above nightstands
• Bathrooms – near mirrors to provide soft, even light for grooming
• Living rooms – to highlight artwork or add decorative depth
• Entryways – to create a warm, welcoming glow

They’re also ideal for commercial environments like hotel lobbies and restaurant interiors where visual comfort and design cohesion matter most.

Many of our linear wall sconces are suitable for bathroom installations, as they’re designed with moisture-resistant premium materials that maintain their quality even in humid conditions. Always check the fixture’s specifications for wet location or damp rating to ensure it’s safe for use near sinks, showers, or bathtubs.

When selecting your linear wall sconce, consider the size of the wall, the height of installation, and the overall design style of the room.

• For hallways, paths, entryways, and corridors, choose slimmer, longer sconces to spread even light.
• In bedrooms or bathrooms, medium-sized sconces work beautifully for task lighting and ambiance.
• For living rooms, designer wall lights with gold or polished chrome finishes add a touch of sophistication.

The goal is to create balance — your sconce should complement, not overpower, the existing decor.
