Design Tips:
- When designing your outdoor lighting plan, choose a single metal finish for all lights to create a harmonious, unified effect.
- Size matters: A single front porch light should measure at least 1/3 of the door’s height.
- The right bright: for most decorative exterior wall fixtures, 60-75 watt incandescent or 20 watt CF bulbs provide ample light.
- Minimize glare by choosing bulbs with a moderate illumination levels and frosted (instead of clear) glass shades.
- Under a porch or other overhang, consider a flush mount luminaire to provide general light while complementing your home’s architecture.
- Deter trespassers by installing luminaires with motion-detectors in dark areas while conserving energy with timers, motion detectors or heat-sensitive controls.

Applications
Outdoor lighting unites the pretty with the practical, creating a unified exterior while enhancing its functionality. Plus it’s one of the easiest and most affordable ways to “remodel.” Wall fixtures and spotlights are an excellent choice for front, back, side and garage entries, where security is a priority. Flush mount ceiling and wall fixtures establish a warm ambiance in areas like the patio, setting the stage for relaxed gatherings. Wall-washers highlight architectural details with a sweep of bi-directional light. Versatile spotlights are equally adept at playing up architectural and landscape features, making it easy to navigate driveways and walkways, and deterring intruders. With the Access Outdoor lighting collection, the possibilities are endless.
