Formula for Outdoor Wall Sconce size

2 years ago

Can someone with experience verify this for me? I’m finding online that the height of the outdoor wall sconce should be between 1/3 -1/4 the height of the door. My question —- Does this rule pertain to garage doors as well?

Our garage doors are 8’ tall. Following the rule I got between 24-32” height for the wall sconce. That feels huge. Just wanted feedback before I buy our lights on Black Friday sale. The light we are using is pictured below, as well as inspiration for hanging them above the doors. The lights above the garage doors on that house just don’t look that big to me.

Thank you!
