I am having 10 wall lights installed around the house underneath the verandah. I'm no good at design ... but like the idea of bunker lights. Have attached pics of some. However, it seems the one I like (brass) are very expensive, well if you are in need of 10 anyway.
1. Do I go for bunkers, or the last two which are more like lanterns?
2. If bunkers, round or oval/rectangular?
3. If bunkers, colour? black/white/green/brass/silver?
4. If bunkers, the plain ones or the ones with extra detail (vertical and/or horizontal lines)

Comments (8)I think the same Sian, I really love the black but worried it'll be look a bit out of place?? Inside the floors will be dark laminate, mid grey walls & white trim. Ive gone for large chrome pendant lights over the kitchen island, and glass & chrome pendants throughout the house, so no black as of yet. But Ive got lots of my b&w photography I'll hang in black frames so maybe I could introduce black with the lights?...See MoreI need your kitchen-lighting advice
Comments (27)the easiest way to light any space is look at which way the globes point, and you can see it in the picture you posted. When that fitting is turned on the light hits the ceiling first and washes down from there. What you need is functional lighting whether you make a statement of the light or let the kitchen do the talking is up to you, the best form of task lighting for you in there would be a 3 circuit track system, allowing you to place and point the light where you want it. And being 3 circuit the same track could have 3 different functional light fittings suspended from the 1 power source....See Morewhere to put exterior wall lights

Comments (7)I have similar lights on rear deck but shine light both up and down. 2 globes. And an overhead fanlight which we use while eating or playing games. The wall lights are great for softer lighting and are plenty to walk around. So I would put the right across rear facade. But make sure the switch for light in pool are separate to the wall lights in alfresco so you only turn on lights you want. With pool if you don’t have lighting in your pool you may want a spotlight....See More
