Outdoor Corner Wall Lights
Few lights are designed to be corner mounted, as in most situations the light fixture is placed flat against the wall’s surface. But there are times when having your external light sitting on the corner of an entrance walkway. Here’s where we can help.
Corner wall lights are specialised outdoor lighting fixtures designed to be mounted in the corners of buildings, structures, or outdoor spaces. They serve a dual purpose: providing essential illumination and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of outdoor environments. By strategically positioning these lights at corners, homeowners can effectively illuminate pathways, entryways, and other areas that may need a touch of light without taking up valuable space.
Corner brackets allow for flexible mounting options, ensuring that the light can be positioned precisely where needed, maximizing illumination in crucial areas. They can be supplied in a colour to match the light.

Installation Tips for External Corner Wall Lights
When it comes to positioning your external corner light, start by selecting a spot that provides optimal illumination while enhancing the visual appeal of your outdoor area. A good rule of thumb is to place the light around five to seven feet above the ground, angled to illuminate pathways and gardens. Avoid placing it too high, as this can cause shadows, or too low, which may only light the immediate area.
Maintenance and Care for Outdoor Lights
Proper maintenance and care of outdoor corner lights are essential to ensure their longevity and optimal performance. Regular upkeep not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of these fixtures but also ensures that they function effectively throughout their lifespan. Cleaning these lights is a fundamental step in maintenance. Dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate over time, obstructing light output and diminishing visual impact. For routine cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface of the external corner light. Avoid harsh chemicals that may harm the finish. If applicable, check the manufacturer’s guidelines for any specific cleaning requirements.
Seasonal maintenance is also important, particularly before significant weather changes. For example, before the winter months, ensure that outside corner wall lights are adequately shielded from ice and snow accumulation. Inspect the fixtures for any loose components and tighten them accordingly to withstand harsh conditions. Additionally, remove any foliage or vegetation that may obstruct the light, especially during spring and summer, to maintain maximum brightness and visibility.
Protecting your outdoor lights from weather-related damage is crucial. Consider using protective coverings or enclosures designed specifically for corner wall lights during prolonged periods of inclement weather. This step can extend the life of your fixtures significantly. Additionally, be sure to check the wiring and connections periodically for signs of wear or corrosion, which can lead to electrical issues or reduce performance. Opt for weather-resistant materials in your fixtures to ensure durability in various environmental conditions.
By adhering to these maintenance tips and practices, you can increase the lifespan of your outdoor corner light and ensure that it continues to illuminate your outdoors effectively for years to come. Read more on replacing the glass on outdoor lights
