Modern or More Traditional Outdoor Lighting Fixtures

You’re moving into a new home and have spent time choosing just the right table lamps, chandeliers and track lighting for your rooms. In addition to indoor lighting, there are important choices to make concerning outdoor lighting.

Outdoor lighting fixtures might include post or column light fixtures for your walkway, hanging light fixtures and outdoor wall sconces to illumine your porch, deck or garage area. Outdoor lighting fixtures light up yard and doorway areas that you need to be able to safely access in the dark. However, they can also have a decorative function, providing a sense of style to your home’s exterior or calling attention to features of the house.

There are many types of lights to choose from, from traditional looking lights to modern outdoor lighting. Even if you choose a less modern "look", you can take advantage of modern lighting technologies, combining vintage style with contemporary sensibility.

For instance, outdoor sconces sold at Crescent Harbor Modern can range from simple wall mounted orbs with LED lights to outdoor wall lanterns whose styling may remind you of horse and buggy days. Light grills and simple beam or ray lights, either cylindrical or rectangular in shape, are other possibilities.

Post or column lights are sometimes the first thing a guest sees when they come up the walkway. Many lantern styled post lights contain three and four bulbs to provide good coverage. Many also work with standard dimmer switches so you can choose the best level of illumination.
