2024年12月8日 · (1) I have trouble deciding where to mount a motion sensor for a set of soffit lights. I want the motion sensor to be all around not just in the front entrance. If an intruder was to approach from the backyard or climb the side fence I want the lights to come on...so that means there needs to be multiple motion sensors.

2013年6月15日 · The lights were made by Underwriters Laboratory, Inc. model E-15522, which they no longer made. I have a feeling most of these lights are living on borrowed time and I need to have them replaced. Obviously I do not wish to pull down all the soffit panel and put on new ones.

Not all 38 lights, as I have the perimeter recessed lights, interior courtyard recessed lights, landing lights, as well as soffit outlets (for Christmas lights which we never used) under different circuits but I am sure a bunch of these have a shared neutral which could be a problem. Thanks.

2019年8月8日 · I like how the soffit lights pointing down accent the house and provide a little extra soft lighting around house. I prefer this look to flood lights on ground pointing at house. Have not found as many internet soffit lights in my searches as I thought I would.

2006年3月9日 · The lights are running along the front of the garage and house. I am going to do this right before I get the siding redone, so I can make the cuts I need to feed the wires. If I have problems, the siding guys are makeng cuts along the entire soffit for airflow.

2013年9月21日 · Any suggestions for what route I should choose for deciding on the correct placement and spacing of recessed soffit lighting for a ranch style bungalow? From what I have see there doesn't look to be a right or wrong answer when it comes to placement as it seems to depend on the layout and design of the house.

2024年5月10日 · Hello. I’m adding soffit lights to the front of my house. Currently, I have a light on my porch, so there is electricity nearby but not currently in the soffit. I’d like to run electrical wire from the existing light fixture to the soffit. Is there a good way to approach this job - running electrical from the existing light fixture to the ...
