The placement of the wall light is also very important. Depending on where you will install the light it will create a different effect at night. Usually, the outdoor lights are not super bright and their illumination radius is quite small. Keep in mind this when deciding where and how to place your outdoor wall light.

The light that hangs low to the ground will be great to illuminate the pathway or a walkway outside of the house. If you position your outdoor wall light high above the ground the result will be more subtle and spread out the light. This would be great in the general area or garden lighting that does not need much light. If you hang the light too close to the eye level you might blind people so try to avoid this altogether.
