Modern Outdoor Lighting: The Perfect Addition to Your Home's Exterior

Outdoor lighting serves many essential purposes. It enhances security, increases functionality, and offers an excellent opportunity to elevate the aesthetics of your home's exterior. Whether you're searching for outdoor wall lights, pendants, flush mount lighting, chandeliers, landscape lighting, outdoor ceiling fans, or stylish outdoor table lamps, 2Modern has the perfect selection to meet your needs.

What Is the Best Type of Outdoor Lighting?

Your outdoor lighting should illuminate specific areas while also reflecting your personal style. The best choice depends on your needs and preferences:

• Wall Lights: Ideal for illuminating the perimeter of your home, patios, garages, or courtyards. Modern wall lighting combines security with beauty.
• Outdoor Ceiling Lights: Perfect for covered porches, patios, and sunrooms. Chandeliers make a statement, pendants add focus, and flush mounts work well for lower-clearance spaces.
• Landscape Lighting: Provides visibility in driveways, pathways, and gardens while enhancing security and accentuating architectural features.
• Table Lamps: Offer functional task lighting for seating areas, adding a decorative and modern touch.

Common Outdoor Lighting Questions

What Does Dark Sky Rated Mean?

Dark sky compliance means a fixture has a Fixture Seal of Approval from the International Dark Sky Association (IDA). These fixtures minimize light pollution, reduce glare, and prevent light trespass.

What Color Temperature is Best for Outdoor Lighting?

For reduced light pollution, opt for fixtures with a color temperature below 3,000 Kelvins. Warm, amber-colored bulbs or low-spectrum LED lights are ideal.

Are LED Lights Good for Outdoor Use?

Yes, LED lights are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and bright. Look for dimmable options and ensure your fixture has a suitable UL rating for outdoor use.

What Are Lumens?

Lumens measure the brightness of a light source. A 60-watt bulb, for example, typically has 800 to 850 lumens.

What Do UL Ratings Mean?

UL (Underwriters Laboratories) ratings indicate whether a fixture meets safety and performance standards. Some lights are UL Listed for damp or wet locations, making them suitable for outdoor use.
