porch light
Doorway evening illumination
A porch light is an outdoor light fixture mounted near the entrance of a house, typically beside or above the front door.
Its primary purpose is to illuminate the entryway for safety and visibility after dark.
Porch lights have acquired social significance: leaving one on may signal that someone is home or awake, while a light left burning can indicate welcome for expected visitors.
