Give every proposed light one named purpose
Examples include identifying a step, operating a lock or seeing a house number. A fitting without a defined task tends to be placed for coverage rather than usefulness. Check manufacturer location, weather rating, mounting height and controls. Fixed outdoor electrical work belongs with electricians; a handyman should not extend a mechanical fitting task into wiring. Battery or solar products still need secure support and appropriate exposure, and advertised performance may vary with conditions. Avoid mounting through decorative masonry or weak render merely to achieve symmetry. If the property is listed, locally listed or within a conservation area, check the exact address and visible-change requirements before ordering.
