The LEONLITE outdoor cylinder wall light is a 12-inch matte-black sconce that casts light both up and down the wall for a clean, modern porch or patio look. The aluminum housing is built for outdoor use with a weather-resistant finish, and the open top-and-bottom design creates the architectural up-down beam that reads more high-end than a standard porch fixture. It is hardwired and works with standard bulbs, so you can dial the brightness and color temperature by choosing the bulb you prefer. Best fit for a front entry, garage wall, or patio where you want symmetrical accent lighting rather than a single downward glow. Because it is hardwired, installation is easiest if there is already an outdoor junction box in place, otherwise plan for an electrician.

Frequently asked questions
Does it come with a bulb?
It takes standard bulbs that you supply, which lets you pick the brightness and color temperature you want. Check the listing for the exact base and wattage limit.
Is it hardwired or plug-in?
It is a hardwired fixture, so it connects to an outdoor junction box. If you do not have wiring in place, plan on an electrician for the install.
Can it handle rain and weather?
Yes, the housing has a weather-resistant finish and is designed for outdoor use on porches, patios, and exterior walls.
Why does it light both up and down?
The cylinder is open at the top and bottom, so it throws a beam in both directions for a symmetrical architectural effect rather than a single downward pool of light.
