Lighting Tips for your Porch

  • Frame the door for security. Mount wall lanterns at roughly eye level to eliminate dark shadows. This ensures you can identify visitors clearly and find your keys easily without harsh glare.
  • Layer light for safety. Pair an overhead fixture with step or path lights to cover all angles. This balances general visibility with focused illumination on stairs to prevent trips and falls.
  • Choose warm bulbs for welcome. Opt for 2700K-3000K bulbs to create a soft, inviting transition. This temperature mimics traditional candlelight, boosting curb appeal without blinding your guests.
