porch lights
Doorway evening beacons
Porch lights are exterior lights mounted near the entrance of a house, typically by the front door.
Beyond their practical function of illuminating entryways after dark, porch lights carry social signals—leaving one on may indicate someone is home or expected, while a light left on all night can suggest welcome or serve as a safety measure: Leave the porch light on for me.
