Space-Age Curb Appeal: Our Spektr Hourglass Fixture on Tim’s Front Porch

Spektr by the front door really did a lot for the curb appeal. I like how the up-light bounces off the ceiling of the porch creating soft indirect illumination of the area, and the down-light washes the wall and accents the texture of the brick and puts direct light on the deck floor. To me it’s a great alternative to the glaring light of most wall-mounted porch lights that can be really harsh to look at in the contrast of the darkness of night.

What is that bright orange orb in the sky? UFO? Meteor plunging toward the earth? No, it s the SUN. Finally, the days are getting longer and warmer and we are coming out of our winter slumber here in the Pacific Northwest. The first thing that we notice is the outside of our home needs some TLC.
