During winter having sufficient light in your porch, door and front path are essential for both accessibility and security. If you have a front garden, one or two path lights are handy, plus a light positioned above or next to your door will make searching for your keys much easier. There is a huge range of porch lights on offer from period styles, such as Victorian glass lanterns and rustic, industrial-style pendant lights, to more contemporary, sleek options that are often fixed to the wall.
