A pretty outdoor light can really make a difference to your home by lighting up your facade to welcome you home at night. Choosing the right outdoor wall light is key to giving your home a distinctive look or theme – it can go from bland to handsome with a simple fixture.

With options to suit every home style and every budget, all available to order online with Australia wide delivery, finding the perfect fit for your home has never been easier.
What Are Outdoor Wall Lights and Where Do You Use Them?
Outdoor wall lights are fixtures mounted directly onto external walls to provide illumination for your home's exterior. They are most commonly used at front and rear entrances, along verandahs and alfresco areas, beside garage doors and carports, at side passages, and along fencing and boundary walls.
Unlike ceiling mounted outdoor lights, exterior wall lights cast light horizontally as well as upwards or downwards, creating an interesting distribution of light on the face of your home. Exterior wall lights are very visible as a lighting product in their own right so choosing an appropriate style to suit the architecture of your home is essential.

We carry a wide variety of outdoor wall light styles to suit every type of Australian home, from modern new builds to heritage and character properties.
Up and Down Wall Lights
Up and down wall lights are one of the most popular choices for Australian homeowners right now, and it is easy to see why. These exterior wall lights cast light in two directions simultaneously, washing your wall with a beautiful gradient effect both above and below the fitting. Up and down lights work brilliantly along feature walls, beside front doors, and on rendered or brick facades where the dual light wash creates real visual drama. They are a favourite for both modern and coastal style homes and look equally stunning as single or multiple fittings spaced along a wall.
Contemporary and Modern Wall Lights
Whether you are going for a traditional or modern home décor, we have an impressive selection of exterior wall lights that can light up your entrance, steps, patio or verandah. They come in ultra modern designs, provided with matte black or white finish, incorporating latest LED technology. While selecting modern wall lights for exterior purposes, you can opt for Mercator Lighting, Eglo Lighting and many more. Their sleek designs perfectly complement modern Australian homes.
Classic and Traditional Wall Lights
Classic outdoor wall lights are perfect for traditional, heritage or Hamptons style homes. Coach style exterior wall lights, lantern style lights and warm-toned metal finishes in antique bronze, brass or silver provide a timelessly elegant look. The Oriel Lighting Hudson Barn Style Wall Light is a premium barn-style wall light that delivers a rustic country look while also delivering outdoor functionality. Suitable for use as entrance lighting, side lighting or verandah lighting, these wall lights can be used in a panel or multiples to create a feature or a cohesive look.
What to Look for When Buying Exterior Wall Lights
Choosing the right outdoor wall light is about balancing good looks with the right practical specifications for your environment. Here are the key things to keep in mind.
IP Rating: Waterproof outdoor wall lights have an IP rating. For inside or covered outdoor wall positions, an IP44 rated light fitting is usually adequate as it protects against spraying and splashing water. For more open outdoor wall positions, or for applications such as coastal positions, an IP54 or IP65 rated light is usually required.
Finish and Corrosion Resistance: Being outdoors, the coastal areas of Australia can create quite harsh environments for your home’s outdoor fittings. In locations close to the beach, we strongly recommend choosing outdoor planters with fittings that have a marine grade finish or are made from powder coated aluminium. This ensures that your outdoor fittings won’t corrode or lose colour over time.
Light Direction: When selecting wall lights, you should also consider whether you require light to be directed upwards, downwards or a combination of both. Up and down wall lights create a dramatic wash effect, whilst downward only fittings produce a more subtle glow with the light directed towards the floor. This decision will depend on the wall surface, personal preference and required light output.
Colour Temperature: Most modern exterior wall lights come with tri colour CCT which means you can change from a warm white, natural white to a cool daylight all from the one fixture, giving you the option to alter the ambience of your outside space without having to swap for a completely different fixture.
