Why Corner-Mounted Outdoor Lighting Changes Everything

Most outdoor wall lights are designed to sit flat against a wall, leaving corner spaces poorly lit or forcing homeowners to choose between mismatched specialist fixtures or compromising on style. These shadowy corners often become security blind spots and make navigating entrances awkward after dark.

Corner wall lights solve this problem by strategically positioning illumination exactly where it’s needed most. Whether you’re lighting up an entrance walkway, highlighting architectural features, or improving visibility around your home, corner-mounted fixtures deliver both practical lighting and enhanced kerb appeal.

The Smart Alternative: Colour-Matched Corner Brackets

Here’s where we take a different approach. Instead of forcing you to buy expensive specialist corner-only fixtures, we offer colour-matched corner brackets that work with any of our Burford wall lights or Fisherman’s Wall Lights – This means you can:

• Maintain a cohesive look across your entire property with matching fittings
• Save money by avoiding premium specialist corner lights
• Choose from our full range of styles and colours for every light, including corners
• Get professional results with brackets powder-coated in the same finish as your chosen light

This flexibility means you’re never limited in your design choices, and every corner can feature the same beautiful lighting as the rest of your home.

What makes Our Lights special:

The distinctive globe glass design creates a warm, welcoming glow whilst providing 360-degree illumination that’s particularly effective on corners. These aren’t just attractive fixtures—they’re built to last.

Built for British weather:

Crafted from lightweight aluminium that will never rust, each light features a powder-coated finish baked in an oven to create a hardened, weather-resistant surface. With an IP44 rating, they’re fully equipped to handle rain, wind, and everything the British climate throws at them.

Colour options to suit any property:

Available in five versatile colours, our Fisherman’s lights—and their matching corner brackets—complement everything from traditional cottages to modern homes. Whether you prefer classic black, crisp white, or something more distinctive, you’ll find a finish that works.

Colour Choices:

Satin black is a timeless option that conveys sophistication and elegance. This color works exceptionally well with traditional and contemporary barns alike, providing a striking contrast to lighter masonry or wooden surfaces. It can create a dramatic effect when paired with vivid landscapes, making your outdoor barn light a stunning focal point.

Slate grey presents a more understated alternative. This versatile shade complements rustic and modern designs, often blending seamlessly with natural elements. Its neutral palette allows it to act in harmony with both earthy tones and brighter accents, making it an ideal choice for those wanting a subtle yet stylish illumination solution.

Chalk white is an excellent option for those seeking a brighter, more open appearance. This color radiates light, making spaces feel larger and more airy. It is particularly effective in rural settings, where it can reflect the beauty of a sunlit environment and enhance the charm of country life.

Seaspray blue brings a refreshing twist to outdoor lighting. This serene tone evokes feelings of tranquility and can create an inviting atmosphere. Most suitable for coastal or garden settings, seaspray blue barn lights can harmonize beautifully with greenery or beach-themed environments.

Traditional Cream this colour is ideal for older cottages, where you want to lighten the feel without being too overstated. This country cottage look, will also work on farmhouse buildings, blending with the surroundings yet keep a traditional feel.

Fisherman’s Wall Lights: Rustic Character for Larger Spaces

If you’re after a farmhouse aesthetic or need broader light coverage, our fisherman’s wall lights deliver expansive illumination with vintage charm.

These metal-shaded fixtures work beautifully on corners of larger properties, patios, and garden areas where you need both powerful lighting and rustic character. Like our Fisherman’s lights, they come in five colours with matching corner brackets available.

Getting the Installation Right

Optimal positioning:

Mount your corner light between 5-7 feet above ground level. This height illuminates pathways and garden areas effectively whilst casting minimal shadows. Too high creates unwanted shadow pools below; too low only lights the immediate area.

Angling for maximum effect:

Position the fixture to cast light diagonally across the corner, covering both adjoining walls and the ground area. This technique eliminates dark spots and creates a more welcoming entrance.

Electrical considerations:

Always use a qualified electrician for installation, particularly with corner positions where wiring may need to run around building edges. Ensure all connections are properly weatherproofed to IP-rated standards.

Keeping Your Lights Looking Their Best

Regular cleaning:

Wipe fixtures with a soft, damp cloth every few months to remove dust, cobwebs, and weather residue that can reduce light output. Avoid harsh chemicals that might damage the powder-coated finish.

Seasonal checks:

Before winter, ensure your corner lights are clear of debris and all fixings are tight. Remove any vegetation that’s grown too close, as leaves and branches can obstruct light and retain moisture against the fixture.

Weather protection:

Our lights are built tough, but during severe storms or extended periods of harsh weather, check that mounting brackets remain secure and water hasn’t penetrated any seals.

Glass maintenance:

The globe glass on Fisherman’s lights can be replaced if damaged. Check out our guide on replacing outdoor light glass for step-by-step instructions.

Why Corner Lighting Matters for Your Home

Beyond the practical benefits of illumination, corner wall lights enhance your property in three key ways:

Security: Well-lit corners eliminate hiding spots and make your home less attractive to opportunistic intruders. Corners are natural blind spots—lighting them removes that vulnerability.

Safety: Clear visibility around entrances, pathways, and building edges reduces trip hazards and makes navigation easier for family and visitors after dark.

Aesthetics: Thoughtfully positioned corner lighting creates depth and dimension, highlighting architectural features and adding a professional, finished look to your property’s exterior.
