Exterior lighting question

11 years ago

We're replacing all of our exterior lights. There's the front door (a light on each side) and about 15 feet down and perpendicular to that, a secondary door with a single light.

We have had trouble with visitors identifying the actual front door, since there are a number of secondary doors. We just had the house painted, and did the front door in red. We'll also be changing the hardware, so the front door will be ORB and the rest nickel.

My question: the lights we're choosing come in two sizes. Would you use the smaller light for the secondary door, or will it just look weird because the doors are so close together? We will also be using the larger lights to flank the garage, and the matching post lights for the wing walls on a patio. If it matters, these are not huge lights, the larger is 16" and the small one is 14".

And lastly, we're replacing the spot lights on the corners that mount to the soffits. The trim color is a light bone color. Black or white housings?
