Porch & Front Door Lights

Light up the entrance to your home


The entrance to your home should always look warm and inviting. And while plants, flowers and ornaments have an important role to play, porch lights tie everything together. Whether lighting the way, highlighting beautiful features or offering security through the night, the entrance to your home just wouldn’t be the same were it not bathed in a rich, warm golden glow.

Security in the dark

In the dark, it’s easy to miss a step or trip over a newly placed flower pot. So make sure you cut out any risk of unnecessary injury by adding entrance lights to your home - ideally with motion detectors.

Entrance wall lights

An exterior wall light is an elegant way to illuminate the entrance to your home. And when placed at around three-quarters of the height of the door, they provide excellent light. You’ll never have to fumble in the dark for your keys again!

Lighting by numbers

Lighting your house number is the perfect way to cut out excuses from couriers, taxi drivers and takeaway services who call to say they’re unable to find where you live. And the postman might thank you too!
