Lights are used to light your way to the front door and I do not feel they should flank a window. Can we see pictures of where the front door or porch is as that is where the lights should be.

I agree we need to see the whole front of the house where lighting is most important and honestly if symmetry is something you crave wahy was the window placed there ?In my back yard I like lighting for purpose like the seating area and the dining area and maybe some nice accent for a tree or shrub. Also one above the back door and the shed or garage.. I guess I need more context

No sconces are needed by the windows or gable.

To be clear, this is the back of the house (facing the backyard.) I didn't build the house from scratch so I didn't have any control over where the window was placed.

The photo below show more of the area. This has been heavily Photoshopped to look like the end result. The Hinkley Manhattan light will go by the door leading into the garage, this I know.

As for the window area, I'm trying to balance form with function... a flood light at the gable (where an old-school flood light is currently located as shown in photo below) would probably give me the amount of light I want, but those don't really look that good. 🫤

Since I'm getting new siding and they'll be removing the existing flood light during that process I decided to see if I could find something to replace it with that looked better.

No sconces by the window.

What do you need to light up?

They sell smaller flood lights that can go under your soffit/fascia. Pick a color for the flood light (white, brown or black) that best matches your soffit/fascia paint color.

AW So it is the back of the house. I would do a similar flood light like the one you have and place it on the peak and the light to go outwards. It needs to not look stylish as it serves a purpose which is a flood light that has a motion sensor for protection. I would then put a nice pair or even a single next to your door. They could also be motion.

Will suggest that you use landscape lighting placed at ground level to uplight your house instead of mounting the fixtures directly on the house.

Thanks everyone for the perspective!
