Outdoor Ceiling Lights - Things to Consider When You are Ready to Buy
Outdoor flush mount lighting provides security and safety by illuminating porches, courtyards, and gazebos. They make great security lights because they cannot be reached for tampering and they cast a wide circle of light. When choosing an outdoor light fixture for the ceiling you'll want to think about what style will complement your home, how the light should mount to your ceiling, what kind of switch will control the light and whether you will need professional installation.
Outdoor house lighting comes in a wide array of styles. There are classic style outdoor ceiling lights and very contemporary lights. You will want to select a style that complements your home. Some things to consider is matching any metal on your outdoor house lighting to metal accents on your home such as brass door knobs. When choosing the style, you should also consider what styles are popular in your region. For example, in the south, it is not uncommon to install outdoor ceiling fans with a light on the porch. This would look out of place in the cooler climate of the northern states.
Where you will be mounting your outdoor ceiling light may help you decide on a style. Outdoor ceiling lights fall into two categories: drop lights and flush mount lights. An outdoor flush mount ceiling light mounts flush against the ceiling. This style of mounting works well on porches, overhangs and other areas where the ceiling is flat. Outdoor flush mount lights are also good if the ceiling is low. In those cases, visitors might hit their heads on a drop style light. If you are mounting outdoor ceiling lights on a peaked ceiling, such as the one in a gazebo, you will need a drop style light. A drop style light typically has a bar or post that hangs down with the lamp portion hanging away from the ceiling slightly.
Most exterior home lighting comes with a manual switch where you turn the lights on or off from inside your home. You can get other types of switches such as a timer switch. A timer switch will turn your outdoor house lighting on at a certain time in the evening and turn them off again at a set time in the morning. This can save you a great deal of electricity by making sure you don't forget and leave your exterior home lighting turned on all day. A motion detector switch can save you even more by only turning the light on when the sensor detects motion, such as when someone walks towards your porch.
Finally, you will want to think about installation. If you have an existing outdoor ceiling light that you are replacing, installation is quite easy and you can probably do it yourself. You outdoor ceiling light will come with basic instructions. You can supplement those instructions with a good book on home wiring repair. If there is no existing wiring or you do not feel comfortable working with electricity, you will need to hire an electrician to install your exterior home lighting.
