I think we need a photo of the front entry taken from far enough away to see the context.

Hello Sabrina, thank you so much fpr reaching out.  Here is a picture.

Are you going to add a canopy to protect the entrance from bad weather?

Hi Beverly. No, its going to be a fiberglass door.

Perhaps take inspiration this photo, and align the bottom of the sconce with the top of your door frame* (which also lines up with the bottom of the lowest clapboard above the door).

*I don't know what you call it: frame, casing, lintel, cornice...?

Choose a Dark Sky-compliant light that will illuminate the area in front of the door, not the yard, or the neighborhood.

"lighting should

• Only be on when needed
• Only light the area that needs it
• Be no brighter than necessary
• Minimize blue light emissions
• Be fully shielded (pointing downward)"

Here’s a rendering attempt. I tried to show the 15 inch size, but it’s approximate. I couldn’t say if it is mounted at the correct height.

Thank you all for your feedback and help trying to figure this out.
