Is this light fixture suitable for LED bulbs?
Yes, most modern outdoor wall lights support LED bulbs as long as the base and wattage are compatible with the fixture’s specifications.
Does this light have a dusk-to-dawn sensor or motion detector?
Some models come with built-in sensors, but it's important to check the product details or choose a compatible add-on sensor if needed.
Will the glass discolor or fade over time when exposed to sunlight?
High-quality outdoor lights use UV-resistant glass or coatings that help prevent yellowing or fading over time.
Does the light direct illumination downward, outward, or in all directions?
The design of the fixture influences light direction. Some provide focused downward lighting, while others offer ambient 360-degree illumination.
Is this fixture paintable to match house trim?
While not always recommended, many metal fixtures can be repainted with outdoor-rated spray paint, provided the surface is properly prepared.
Will insects get trapped inside the glass housing?
Sealed or semi-sealed fixtures reduce the chance of insects entering, but it’s always wise to check the seal quality if that’s a concern.
Can this light be mounted upside down or in a different orientation?
It depends on the design. Some lights are versatile enough for multiple mounting options, while others are intended for a specific orientation only.
