What exactly are outdoor wall mounted lighting fixtures, and how do they work?
Outdoor wall mount light fixtures are permanently attached and wired to the side of a wall. They offer both an aesthetic and functionality to a variety of residential and commercial environments. One outstanding feature highly valued among business owners and homeowners is the ability of outdoor wall mounted light fixtures to withstand the vicissitudes of weather. Many regions of the United States and Canada are particularly humid and endure heavy rainfall throughout much of the year. For companies and homes in these regions, outdoor wall mounted lights provide a highly attractive, reliable source of illumination that enhances architecture and compliments landscape and outdoor lighting systems. Our online inventory categorizes outdoor wall mount fixtures by lamp options, and we include within these categories a variety of fixture, glass and finish options to comprehensively address the full gamut of aesthetic needs our many clients bring to the table.

What is the most energy efficient outdoor wall mount light fixture?
Fluorescent lights are currently the best option for those seeking bright light and lower energy overhead. This is especially true for commercial facilities such as warehouses, which need to light the perimeter and sidewalks around the building itself. The power saving efficiency of fluorescent technology combined with recent advances in ballast technology make them an ideal choice for organizations. Many of our models as well offer the added value of photocell timers that save power even more by turning the system on at dusk and off at dawn.

What is the best application for HID wall mounts?
HID wall mounted lighting fixtures are best utilized as commercial lighting compliments. High pressure sodium fixtures make them ideal for casting a bright circle of light around the perimeter of office buildings, parking areas, loading docks, and sidewalks.

What type of fixture works good over entrances and windows?
Incandescent wall mount lighting fixtures make ideal entryway lights for people moving in and out of buildings because they emit such a high level of bright light. Not only can businesses use these fixtures to maximize building safety, but also homeowners can install them over garage and work shed entrances. They also look equally attractive along the front or back walls of a residence with a long back porch. Since some people prefer to have more of a “fixture” than glass, and others prefer to minimize the metallic in favor of either clear or translucent glass, we carry incandescent wall mounted lights in both structural types. We provide both brass and bronze finishes for those looking to match decorum to specific period styles and decorative trends as well as those looking for the very best glasswork to distribute illumination.

Outdoor Wall Mount Light Fixture Accessories
Be sure as well when purchasing any outdoor wall mounted lighting fixtures to check with either the owner or your lighting design client to clarify their expectations for physical aesthetics. Often times people select the very best fixtures and lamping options for their needs, only to realize after the fact that the mounting itself looks to stark in contrast to the adjoining wall. For situations where a seamless blend is the most desirable fit, consider using wall-mounting accessories such as solid brass cap mounting pedestals, or rectangular brass canopies that help the lighting fixture to appear as part of the wall itself.
