Tiva Travertine Outdoor Wall Light

• Installation: Hardwired, 110-240V. Licensed electrician recommended. The fixture arrives fully assembled; mount the backplate to a wall box (exterior-rated for outdoor use) with the included bracket and screws, connect the wires, and seal the backplate edge with exterior silicone when outdoors.
• Lighting: Integrated Warm White LED, 7W, built in and rated for long service life; no bulbs to buy or replace.
• Cleaning: Power off at the breaker. Dust the travertine with a dry soft brush or microfiber cloth; wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth and dry. Avoid acidic cleaners, sprays, and pressure washing, which etch and stain natural stone.
• Checkups: Re-check the backplate screws and silicone seal after the first heavy rain for outdoor units, then annually.

Tivaro Travertine is a single-size sconce, so the decision is where to place it and how many to use. Its tall, narrow profile suits vertical wall surfaces beside doors and along corridors, and the 700-770 lumen output is accent and pathway light rather than area lighting.

Placement guide (how many do you need):

• One: Beside a single front door, at a side entry, on a balcony wall, or as a bedside reading light on one side of the bed.
• Pair: Flanking a front door, garage door, patio slider, or bed; mount at the same height, the same distance from the opening, on both sides.
• Run: Along a porch, patio wall, garden wall, breezeway, or hallway, spaced 8-10 ft (2.4-3m) apart, each covering about 55-110 sq ft (5-10 m²) of wall and floor.

Light color guide:

• Warm White (fixed): The fixture ships in Warm White only, which gives the travertine a soft amber glow and matches most residential porch, path, and landscape lighting at 2700-3000K.
• Matching the facade: Keep every exterior fixture on the same property at one color temperature; if garage or security lights are cool white, plan on switching them to warm for a consistent look.
• Indoors: Warm White suits bedrooms and living rooms and reads naturally beside table lamps and dimmed ceiling lights.

By placement:

• Front entryway: A pair flanking the door 6"-12" (15-30cm) from the trim; the up-and-down wash lights the door surround and the step below without glare.
• Porch: Single units on the wall beside the door or on porch columns; the narrow 3.9" (10cm) width fits between windows and trim.
• Patio / deck / garden wall: Units spaced 8-10 ft (2.4-3m) along the wall; the downward wash lights the floor near seating, the upward wash the eave or wall top.
• Balcony / villa exterior: One per balcony beside the door, or a run along the exterior wall; the IP65 seal handles open exposure.
• Covered hallway / breezeway: Units every 8-10 ft (2.4-3m) on one wall, or staggered on both walls.
• Living room (indoor): A pair flanking a fireplace, media wall, or artwork, 6-8 ft (1.8-2.4m) apart; the travertine reads as a wall material rather than a fixture.
• Bedside (indoor): One on each side of the bed, 6"-10" (15-25cm) outside the headboard edge; the downward wash gives soft reading light.
• Bathroom vanity: A pair flanking a mirror; the IP65 rating handles steam and splash.

Mounting height rules (practical)

• Beside a door (outdoor): Center the fixture 66"-72" (168-183cm) above the porch surface, roughly at the top third of the door.
• Patio / garden / hallway / living room: Center the fixture 60"-66" (152-168cm) above the floor so the travertine panel sits at eye level.
• Bedside: Center the fixture 30"-36" (76-91cm) above the mattress top; at 23.6" (60cm) tall, its lower edge will sit just above the headboard.
• Two-story facade: Raise the center to 84"-96" (213-244cm) to keep proportion with the wall.
• Clearance: Keep 6" (15cm) or more between the frame and door trim, shutters, or cabinets.

Placement tips that prevent common mistakes

• Wall box: The backplate sits at the fixture's vertical center; mark the box height with the 23.6" (60cm) panel in mind, not the box itself.
• Surface: Mount on a flat wall; on lap siding or rough stone, use a mounting block so the frame sits flush and the light spreads evenly up and down.
• Stone variation: Travertine is natural stone, so pitting, veining, and tone differ from piece to piece; a pair will match in size and frame but not in exact pattern.
• Outdoor exposure: The IP65 rating handles open-wall mounting in rain, snow, and coastal spray; an eave or overhang is optional, not required. Rinse salt residue off coastal installations monthly to protect the stone.
• Output check: 700-770 lumens lights the wall and about 4-6 ft (1.2-1.8m) of floor in front; add pathway or flood lighting for driveways and yards.
• Spacing: For even coverage along a wall, space fixtures at roughly two times the mounting height.
