Meridian Outdoor LED Wall Light

Exterior wall lighting does two jobs at once, and the Meridian Outdoor LED Wall Light from Decor Auremont is built for both. It marks an entrance so guests can find the door and read the step in front of it, and it makes the front of a house look finished after dark instead of flat and unlit. Mounted either side of a door, along a garage wall or down a path, it turns the approach to a house into something considered.

Integrated LED is what makes exterior lighting genuinely low-maintenance: long service life in a fixture that is awkward to reach, low running cost for a light that stays on most of the night, and reliable output in cold weather. The range spans a wide spread of sizes and finishes, so the same design can serve as a discreet path marker or a substantial fixture flanking a front door.

Use it at entrances, on garage walls, along patios and walkways, and on covered porches. Choose a size in proportion to the whole wall rather than the door alone, since a fixture that looks generous in a product photograph often reads as undersized once it is mounted on a real elevation. Exterior fixtures must be installed on properly rated and weather-sealed outdoor wiring, so have a qualified electrician handle the installation.
