Outdoor wall lighting fixtures are an excellent way of sprucing up the outside of your home.

Outdoor wall lighting fixtures are a great way of adding balance and safety to the exterior of your home and garden area.

These types of fixtures are best suited located by the door of your home, and ideally under a porch, to shield your fixtures from the seasonal weather that might affect them, then they will be situated under cover i.e. your porch area.

One thing that must be considered initially is to decide which power source your fixtures will have. Will they be powered by your mains electricity supply for example, or will they be gas operated, or solar powered perhaps, if you consider this first, then this will be a very good starting point.

Actually outdoor wall lighting fixtures look really nice when you situate them one either side of your front door. As a basic rule of thumb (say your fixtures are 30cms high), then the bottom of each of your wall mounted lighting fixtures should be about 1.3 meters from the floor.

Depending on how much space you have around your door, locate one say 20 cms to the left of the door and one 20 cms to the right. Once again ideally you will locate one fixture to the left of your door and one to the right, to add balance, but this is in an ideal world as your space may be limited. A single unit only, to the left or right can work very well also if space is an issue.

Outdoor wall lighting fixtures, as with all outdoor lighting will enhance the security and safety aspect of your home and will make the exterior of your home more aesthetically pleasing, so where lighting for your home is concerned it really is a no-brainer.

Solar Powered Lighting

I am great advocate of solar powered lighting. Once again it really is a no-brainer as this type of lighting manages to cover three major and very important benefits:-

• Excellent for the Environment
• Simple to Install (no wiring required)
• Very Cheap to Buy and Maintain (powered by the sun!)

Solar powered is a very cheap and effective outdoor wall lighting.

The same applies too if you have a garage which is badly lit or has no lighting at all. By placing one or two of these lights on the wall next to your garage door (again, ideally one either side), you will make your homes exterior safer, securer, and more attractive.

They are therefore a very simple, low cost way, of helping make you and your family`s safety and well being a far happier and healthier one.

Finally, going back to solar power, anything solar powered must to be good in my opinion. I think the use of solar power will be harnessed and used more frequently in conjunction with many different every day items as years progress..

Some homes for example are already totally powered by solar power which would have been unthinkable a few decades ago but we have come on a lot over the years both environmentally and technologically, so if you can, make your outdoor wall lighting fixtures, solar powered.
