Outdoor Wall Lights FAQs
What is the difference between damp-rated and wet-rated outdoor wall lights?
Damp-rated fixtures are for moisture-protected areas like covered porches. Wet-rated Feit Electric fixtures are designed to withstand direct exposure to rain, snow, and sprinklers, making them ideal for exposed walls, eaves, and open patios. Always check the packaging rating for your specific installation spot.
Do Feit Electric outdoor lanterns feature automatic dusk-to-dawn sensors?
Yes, many Feit Electric wall lanterns include integrated dusk-to-dawn sensors. These smart fixtures automatically turn on at sunset and off at sunrise, providing effortless home security, improved energy efficiency, and hands-free operation so your home is always illuminated when needed.
What is the recommended mounting height for outdoor wall lights?
For the best balance of curb appeal and effective illumination, mount your wall lanterns so the center of the fixture is 66 to 72 inches above the floor. This position keeps light at eye level for entryways while creating a symmetrical, professional look on your home’s exterior.
Are Feit Electric outdoor wall lanterns easy to install?
Feit Electric wall lanterns are designed for straightforward installation. Every fixture comes with the necessary mounting hardware and clear instructions. Designed as standard hardwired replacements for your existing 120V exterior lighting, they allow for a quick, professional-grade upgrade to your home's exterior.
