There’s no fixed height that works for every dusk-to-dawn light, but general guidance suggests mounting residential wall or flood lights between 8-14 feet above the ground to balance good coverage with limited glare. For larger outdoor spaces or security applications, mounting heights can extend to 15 feet or more, depending on the fixture’s lumen output, beam distribution, and design intent. Always refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions and consider local lighting standards to ensure optimal placement and performance.
