Outdoor light for house numbers

5 years ago

At our front door, I currently have a wall light/sconce and then the house numbers are around 8 inches below the light. The numbers are typical 6 inch numbers, so our four digit address is around a foot wide. The current light, while not a spot light, doesn’t provide enough light to both sides of the house number. The result is that at night, you can read the two middle digits but the two outside digits are in the shadows. I am happy to replace the light, but don’t want to do significant wiring or patching, ie I don’t want to move the light or the house numbers, nor do I want to replace the house numbers with a light up version (which would require new wiring).


Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations for an outdoor light that will adequately light up house numbers in this scenario? There are wall lights that are glass boob lights that emit 360 degrees, but I’m worried this won’t project enough light downward? Any other thoughts?
