Mounting

Mounting height is critical for effective lighting, but how high you mount a light is a trade-off.

If you mount a spotlight low, it will shine in your eyes and those of visitors to your home or business. To fill an area with light from a low-mounted spotlight, you will have to aim it nearly horizontally. Such a light will shine off your property more easily creating light trespass.

Mounting a light higher makes it less likely that light will shine in your eyes. Furthermore, you can aim the light at a more-downward angle, reducing the likelihood of light trespass. But, mounting a light too high makes maintenance difficult. Since light spreads out as it leaves the bulb, you'll need a brighter bulb and use more energy the higher you mount a light.

Here are some recommendations:

Never mount a spotlight at eye level. Mount it at least 10 feet high, but not higher than you are comfortable climbing to replace a blown bulb.
When possible, mount under the eaves of a porch or projection just above the first story.
Mount the light so that as much as is possible it won't shine in your eyes or those of visitors. For example, mount a floodlight high in the middle of a walk that runs along the side of a building. In this way, it won't shine in the eyes of people arriving or leaving, but it will light their way.
