porchlights
Doorway evening glow
Porchlights are exterior lights mounted near a home's entrance, typically by the front door.
They serve practical purposes—illuminating the entry for safety and visibility—and social ones, signaling welcome or occupancy.
Leave the porchlight on for me.
A lit porchlight traditionally indicates someone is home or expected.
