Default Garage Exterior Wall Sconce

I plan to install sconce lighting on each side of my garage door. I've
read the mounting height should be about 72" then elsewhere between 8
and 9 feet. I'm sure I can eye it and draw my own conclusion but I
thought I'd ask. Any input to the actual height or a formula for floor
to ceiling ratio? When confirming such height, is that the bottom of the
lighting, the top, the junction box, etc? I've yet to see confirmation
on any of that.

Thanks


I'd say unless it's an unusually high door or something else unusual,
then what looks good aesthetically works for me. Erring on the side of
higher is probably better, as the light will go a bit further.
