Outdoor recessed wall lights offer out-of-the-way outdoor lighting for walkways, building entrances, patios, stairs, and a whole host of other outdoor spaces. Their unobtrusive appearance means the luminaires blend seamlessly into the environment they serve without altering the architectural character of an outdoor space. Outdoor recessed wall lights primarily serve to provide effective safety lighting. They deliver localized brightness at the perimeter of the outdoor space to provide comfortable visibility of areas that experience foot traffic. Light is directed to the ground without creating a glare source. As opposed to being surface mounted on the wall, recessed wall lights do not protrude from a wall and interfere with the passage. The wall lights are gasketed for outdoor installation and designed with drain slot to guide water away from the fixtures.
