5. Setup & Installation

5.1. Mounting Guidelines

Proper sizing and placement of outdoor lighting fixtures are crucial for both aesthetics and functionality. For entryway lighting, fixtures should generally measure 1/4 to 1/3 of the door's height. Mount them at eye level, approximately 5.5 to 6 feet from the ground to the fixture's center. For double doors, mount lights on either side, 8 to 10 feet apart. For garages, use a single wall lantern for a one-car garage, or mount lights on either side of the doors for two or more car garages, or across the top for even illumination.
