Setup & Installation
Sizing and Placement Guidelines
Proper sizing and placement of outdoor lighting fixtures are crucial for both aesthetics and functionality. Consider the following guidelines:
Image: Sizing example for a garage door, showing a 24-inch tall fixture for a 16-foot door, calculated as 1/4 of the door's height.
Image: Sizing example for an entryway door, showing a 24-inch tall fixture for a 96-inch door, calculated as 1/4 of the door's height.
- Entryways and Garages: Select fixtures that measure 1/4 to 1/3 of the door's height.
- Mounting Height: Mount fixtures at eye level, approximately 5.5 to 6 feet from the ground to the fixture's center.
- Entrance Doors: For dual fixtures, mount them on either side of the door, 8 to 10 feet apart.
- Garage Doors: For a one-car garage, a single wall lantern is sufficient. For two or more car garages, mount lights on either side of the doors, or across the top for even illumination.
- Hanging Lights (Covered Porches/Entryways): Maintain at least 7 feet of clearance from the ground to the fixture's base, including any chain or stem connections.
