Outdoor wall lights do two things at once: they make your home safer and more welcoming, and they define the character of your facade after dark. On a Canadian property, where the evenings turn dark by 4:30 PM in December and the front entrance becomes the most-used part of the house through five months of winter, the right wall lights matter more than most homeowners realize.
in-lite has been engineering premium 12V outdoor lighting for over 25 years. Our outdoor wall lights are designed to mount cleanly on any surface, connect to a safe low-voltage system without an electrician, and perform reliably through everything a Canadian winter can deliver.
Wall lights are the most visible fixture on your property. They sit at eye level on the surfaces your guests see first — the front facade, the garage wall, the fence line, the entrance gate. That means they need to look as good as they perform.
Built for Canadian conditions. Every in-lite wall light is sealed against moisture, rated for sustained frost and freeze-thaw cycles, and built from materials that don't corrode, discolor, or crack under UV exposure. They work in Vancouver's wet winters and Winnipeg's deep freezes equally well.
12V low-voltage system. All in-lite wall lights run on safe 12V, connecting to the same cable network as your path lights, recessed lights, and deck lights. One transformer powers the full system. No electrician required under Canadian electrical codes.
Smart home ready. Connect to the in-lite app via the SMART HUB transformer for automated scheduling, motion triggers, and integration with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit.
5-year product warranty. All fixtures and transformers carry a 5-year warranty, backed by a certified dealer network across Canada.
Dutch design quality. Designed and engineered in the Netherlands, with finishes that hold up outdoors across decades, not just seasons.
Our collection of wall lights
in-lite offers wall lights across two main mounting types, covering every application from entrance facades to fences, pergola posts, and retaining walls. Here's how the range breaks down.
Surface-mounted wall lights
Surface-mounted outdoor wall lights attach directly to any vertical surface — house walls, fences, gate posts, pergola columns, and retaining wall faces. They're the most versatile wall light format and suit the widest range of installation positions.
BLINK. Compact aluminum wall fixture available in Dark Grey, White, and Rosé Silver. Comes with two lenses: transparent for focused light and matte for a softer, more diffused glow. Mount one BLINK every 2-2.5 m (6.5-8 ft) at a height of 1.4-1.6 m (4.5-5 ft) for consistent corridor lighting along a fence or wall.
ACE DOWN. Focused downward-beam wall light with the light source recessed deep inside the fixture to prevent glare. The beam width can be adjusted using the separately available SHUTTER 1 accessory. Available in Dark Grey, Corten, White, Rose Silver, and Flat Grey.
ACE UP-DOWN. Produces directed beams both upward and downward from a single fixture, creating a bold architectural effect on facades and feature walls. Both LED sources sit deep inside to prevent dazzle. Available in the full ACE color range.
EVO DOWN. A larger surface-mounted downlight at 320 mm (12.60 in) in width. Suited to wider wall surfaces and entrance canopies where a more substantial fixture provides better proportional balance.
WEDGE SLIM. 200 mm (7.87 in) low-profile wall light with a clean, angular form. Suits contemporary facade designs and positions where a discreet fixture is preferred.
Outdoor wall lights: downlights and up-down lights for every facade
in-lite outdoor wall lights are available as downlights and up-down lights, making it easy to choose between focused functional lighting and decorative facade lighting. The collection includes modern exterior wall lights for fences, entrance walls, garage facades, garden structures, and other outdoor surfaces.
Downlights
Downlights are the most practical choice for fence lines, garage walls, entrance pillars, and gate posts. All output is directed below the fixture, keeping light focused on the zone where it's needed and eliminating upward scatter. ACE DOWN produces a tight, glare-free beam with the light source recessed deep inside the housing. EVO DOWN at 320 mm (12.60 in) suits wider surfaces where a more substantial fixture balances the scale of the wall, while WEDGE SLIM at 200 mm (7.87 in) is the more compact option for contemporary facades where a discreet profile matters. BLINK takes a softer approach: an aluminum wall fixture that comes with both a transparent and a matte lens, letting you choose between a focused beam or a warmer, more diffused glow depending on the atmosphere you want to create.
Up-down lights
Up-down lights project light both above and below the fixture, creating a striking architectural effect on the wall surface itself. They suit feature facades, entrance pillars, and any structural surface where you want the wall to become part of the lighting scheme rather than just a mounting point. ACE UP-DOWN directs two independent beams, one upward and one downward, with both LED sources recessed deep inside to prevent glare. For a completely flush finish with no protrusion from the wall face, HALO UP-DOWN at 120 mm (4.72 in) is the recessed option, built directly into the surface with only the lens visible. Both pair naturally with recessed lights at ground level and hardscape lighting on adjacent walls to create a layered, cohesive perimeter scheme.
Modern exterior wall sconces and fixtures
The design of an outdoor wall light is as important as its output. A fixture that looks wrong in daylight will undermine the aesthetic of your property regardless of how it performs at night. in-lite's wall lights are designed in the Netherlands with a deliberate design philosophy: minimal visual presence in daylight, maximum impact after dark.
ACE range available in Dark Grey, Corten, White, Rose Silver, and Flat Grey is designed as a unified system of path lights and wall lights that share the same form language and finishes. This makes it the natural choice for properties where visual consistency across the full yard matters. ACE DOWN and ACE UP-DOWN on your fence line can match the ACE and ACE HIGH path lights along your driveway, creating a unified lighting scheme from the street to the back of the property.
EVO concept takes a different approach: EVO DOWN wall light shares its profile and finish with EVO undercap lights and the EVO path light range, offering a similar design logic for properties that prefer a more architectural, linear aesthetic.

Weather-resistant 12V wall lighting for Canadian
conditions
Canada's climate puts specific demands on outdoor wall lights that mild-weather markets don't face. Fixtures need to perform at -40°C (-40°F), handle repeated freeze-thaw cycles without cracking, resist UV discoloration in summer, and prevent moisture ingress during snowmelt season.
in-lite outdoor wall lights are engineered to meet all of these conditions. Every fixture is sealed against moisture and dust, with housings built from anodized aluminum and high-grade polymer materials that resist thermal shock and UV degradation. The 12V low-voltage system itself provides an additional layer of protection: because the current is too low to pose a significant electrical hazard, moisture around the fixtures and connections is far less of a concern than it would be with line-voltage wiring.
EASY-LOCK cable connector creates a fully weatherproof connection at every wall light without tools, cutting, or conduit. For complete guidance on protecting your installation through Canadian winters, see our installation tips page. And because in-lite is committed to sustainable production, these fixtures are built to last a full lifetime outdoors, not to be replaced every few years.
Where wall lights fit into your landscape lighting plan
Where wall lights fit into your landscape lighting plan
Outdoor wall lights are most effective as part of a layered landscape lighting plan. Use them to illuminate entrances, fences, garage walls, gate posts, and architectural surfaces, then combine them with other fixture types to create depth and balance throughout the outdoor space.
Pair wall lights with outdoor spotlights to highlight trees, planting, or facade details, and use recessed lights near pathways, steps, retaining walls, or raised planters. Outdoor ceiling lights can provide practical illumination beneath covered entrances, pergolas, and carports. By combining lighting at different heights and across multiple surfaces, you can create a cohesive lighting scheme around the entire property.

How to choose the right brightness (lumens) for outdoor wall lighting?
For most residential applications, outdoor wall lights in the 100-400 lumen range provide sufficient illumination without overwhelming the space. The key is not brightness in isolation, but the relationship between the wall light output and the ambient lighting around it. A well-designed outdoor lighting scheme uses multiple lower-output fixtures rather than a single bright source, creating even coverage without harsh contrasts.
Are in-lite wall lights salt-air and snow resistant?
Yes. in-lite outdoor wall lights are sealed against moisture ingress and built from materials rated for sustained outdoor exposure across all Canadian climate zones. This includes coastal environments where salt air accelerates corrosion on standard fixtures, and regions with heavy snowfall where freeze-thaw cycles put repeated stress on housing seals. All finishes, including the anodized aluminum on the BLINK and the powder-coated surfaces on the ACE range, are specifically chosen for resistance to UV discoloration, salt air, and thermal cycling.
Can I install 12V wall lights without an electrician?
Yes. Because in-lite's system operates at 12V, it falls below the voltage threshold that requires a licensed electrician under Canadian electrical codes. Wall lights connect to the 12V cable network via the EASY-LOCK tool-free connector — no cutting, no conduit, no wiring knowledge required. Visit our installation tips page for the full process, or find a certified in-lite dealer near you who offers professional installation.
What is the ideal mounting height for exterior wall lights?
For fence and wall applications, mount outdoor wall lights at 1.4-1.6 m (4.5-5 ft) above the ground for the most effective light distribution. For entrance and facade applications, a height of 1.8-2.2 m (6-7 ft) positions the fixture above head height, reducing glare while still illuminating the area below effectively. In high-snowfall regions, account for seasonal snow accumulation when determining minimum mounting height — fixtures positioned too low may be partially buried or obstructed in winter.
How do wall lights integrate with a 12V landscape system?
in-lite wall lights connect to the same 12V cable network as every other fixture in the system — path lights, deck lights, recessed lights, hardscape lights, and tree lights. A single transformer powers all fixtures in the network, and each wall light taps onto the cable with an EASY-LOCK connector at any point without cutting. The in-lite app allows you to control wall lights independently or as part of a multi-zone schedule alongside the rest of your outdoor lighting.
