Outdoor spotlight selection

Compare the finish of black outdoor spotlights with the soffit or other mounting surface, then check the fixture’s weather rating and mounting requirements. The Pisa Outdoor Floor Lamp by Roche Bobois is another example of a listed product; confirm its finish and use from its specifications rather than assuming it is a ceiling spotlight.

What should I check when comparing outdoor twin spotlights?

Check whether each head can be aimed independently and whether the beam spread suits the area. Confirm the fixture's weather rating and mounting requirements before installation.

How do I choose a light for an outdoor ceiling?

Confirm that the fixture is rated for its exposure, including moisture where relevant, and that the ceiling can support its mounting method. Plan the light position around the area that needs illumination.

How should outdoor lighting be wired?

Have a licensed electrician check the wiring, controls, and required protection for the installation. Follow the fixture instructions and local electrical code.
