Frequently Asked Questions

An outdoor wall light illuminates a facade, entrance, or patio. Functional and decorative, it enhances security and highlights architectural features.

Choose an outdoor wall light with a minimum IP44 rating (water resistance). A motion sensor is good for entrances. Up/down lighting creates a dramatic architectural effect.

Mistake: an outdoor wall light that is not IP44 and deteriorates in the rain. Check the protection rating before purchase.

A fixed outdoor wall light is always on to continuously illuminate an area. A motion-sensor light only activates when someone approaches, which saves energy while securing access.

Outdoor wall lights are generally made of metal (aluminum, steel) for weather resistance, or plastic. Some high-end models may also be made of glass or stone.

Place the outdoor wall light approximately 2 meters from the ground, oriented towards the area to be illuminated. Avoid positioning it too high or too low for homogeneous and functional lighting.

LED bulbs are ideal because they consume little energy, last a long time, and emit a bright, white light. You can also choose halogen or filament bulbs for a warmer glow.

Regularly wipe the outdoor wall light with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using abrasive products that could scratch the finishes. In case of heavy rain, you can clean it with water and a little mild soap.
