Regardless of the month or day, I keep the porch light on. I stick with low-watt bulbs with a warm glow, because while I like the safety of keeping them on all night, I don’t want to disturb my neighbors. But if we’re going to pursue such a pragmatic practice, perhaps it should be pleasing.
I gravitate toward black lanterns, but I may be boxed into flush mount territory now. Certainly, you can find your own way through brass, black, or pewter. The important thing is finding your way home.
