Outdoor Wall Lights
Outdoor wall lights show off your façade, front door and terrace in the best light. Most of our models are made of aluminium, rated IP65 against water jets and dust, and cast their light up and down, as a lantern or as a soft wash across the wall.
What to look for in an outdoor wall light
- IP rating: for outdoor use, IP44 is the recommended minimum. Most lights in this category are rated IP65 and suit an exposed façade; IP44 models belong under a canopy or on a covered terrace. The rating is listed for every light.
- Light direction: up-and-down lights draw two beams on the wall and bring out render, timber or natural stone.
- Colour temperature: warm white (3000 K) feels welcoming at the entrance, neutral and cool white give clear, bright lighting.
- Installation: have hardwired lights installed by a qualified electrician.
Where outdoor wall lights come into their own
Beside the front door they make arriving home easier, several lights along the façade create a calm rhythm, and on the terrace or balcony they add atmosphere in the evening. The exact dimensions and technical details are on each product page.
Frequently asked questions
How high should an outdoor wall light be mounted next to the front door?
A height of about 170 to 190 cm, just above eye level, works well: the light doesn't dazzle and the lock and house number stay well lit. With up-and-down lights such as CAVTO or MATIO, leave enough free wall above and below the fitting so that both beams can spread properly.
What size outdoor wall light suits my façade?
Beside the door, a compact model is enough, such as CAVTO from 9.7 cm high or MATIO from 11 cm. For large wall surfaces there is CAVTO up to 81 cm and the linear LED light RAFTO from 30 to 240 cm long, which draws a continuous line of light. As a rule of thumb, the taller the wall, the larger the light can be.
How can I stop an outdoor light from causing glare?
Choose models that direct their light rather than shining it straight out. DOMOT shields its diffuser with a curved hood and lights downwards, while YALTUI casts its light indirectly onto the façade. On the CARDIF LED cube, you adjust the upward and downward beams yourself using movable flaps.
