Darkaway Outdoor Porch Lights Wall Mount - Weatherproof Seeded Glass

Our review of the Darkaway Outdoor Porch Lights Wall Mount finds it to be a straightforward, durable choice for homeowners who want a simple, attractive exterior sconce without fuss. The single biggest reason to buy is its weather-resistant construction paired with a classic matte black frame and seeded glass that fits a variety of exterior styles; it performs as a dependable outdoor fixture for entryways, garages, and patios while remaining easy for most DIYers to install.

Key Features

• Built to last: The aluminum body and weather-resistant finish resist rust and stand up to heavy rain, snow, icing and hot weather for reliable outdoor use.
• E26 bulb compatibility: Accepts standard E26 bulbs so it works with LED, incandescent, CFL or halogen lamps to match desired light output and efficiency.
• Easy installation: Includes mounting brackets and screws for a quick install with no special wiring tools required for most homeowners.
• Seeded glass design: The seeded glass diffuser softens glare and adds a subtle decorative texture that complements modern and retro exteriors.
• ETL listed safety: The ETL listing provides assurance of electrical safety for typical residential outdoor installations.

Who It's For

The Darkaway porch light is best for homeowners, landlords, or renters who need a dependable, attractive outdoor wall sconce for entryways, porches, garages and walkways and who prefer the flexibility to choose their own bulb type. It suits newly painted homes and small renovation projects where a low-profile, matte black fixture with seeded glass will blend with many styles.

It is not ideal for those who need integrated LED fixtures, multi-light security systems, or very large-area flood lighting, since this design is a single-socket decorative sconce and ships without a bulb included.
