outdoor light

Exterior illumination fixture

A light fixture designed for exterior use—on porches, patios, walkways, or building facades.

Outdoor lights are built to withstand weather exposure and often serve security or decorative purposes: We installed motion-sensor outdoor lights along the driveway.

The term covers everything from landscape lighting to floodlights to string lights for entertaining.
