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 install them above the eye level of the tallest human on record to make sure the lights don't shine in my own or any visitor's eyes. I'm 5' 12" tall and I'd mount the light above my level line of sight to prevent glare. What style of light are you considering? ^_^

I have that light on my front porch. It will work with a pancake box.
