When you’ve taken the time to plan and install house front lighting, such as down/up lights, pathway lights, strip lights on steps, plant lights and last but not least, a house number light, you ideally want these to come on automatically as dusk falls, so you can showcase your beautiful abode, whether you’re there to flick the switch or not.

Illuminated House Numbers are such a wonderfully modern way to address your house, but how do they work?

You may see some products online that claim illumination or a ‘glow effect’ simply via reflective stickers. However, this is unlikely to achieve the look you desire. To illuminate the numbers, you of course need LEDs and electrical power.

A classic technique to draw attention to your house number, is to add a downward directional wall light above the number, therefore illuminating the house number and wall below.

But it’s 2022 and of course ideas, tastes and product design are always changing. Now instead of that wall light you can choose a more modern, striking and frankly functional option – a house number with integrated illumination.

Any rating below IP44 is considered for indoor use. IP44 offers a certain level of protection against rain but should not be exposed to intense water. As it offers no protection against dust, this can reduce the longevity of the product, as any house front is exposed to dust from nearby roads or driveways.

As such, we recommend selecting LED House Numbers that are IP65 rated, as this offers protection from water jets sprayed from any angle, and is dust protected.

The house number is the first thing people will look at when they arrive at your home. It identifies that the property is the correct one they were looking for. It is also therefore the first impression that anyone will have of your place of residence. As such, it surprises me that many homes across Australia give little thought to the aesthetics of their house number, or even let them become so run down, that they’re almost illegible.

Painting your home costs around $10,000. People paint their house to improve the look and feel of their home. Curiously, many chose not to spend between $100 and $400 on a visually appealing house number, which will provide a far greater proportional return on investment.

When it comes to home renovations often the house front is the last thing on the list, however it’s the first (and sometimes only) element people see. So, don’t miss out on making passers-by envious, turn your thoughts to how your house looks from the street, as well as from the inside.

Illuminated House Numbers are a great place to start. They’re a quick and cost effective way to modernise your house front. Clearly visible day and night, they’re practical and of course aesthetically pleasing. Your local Deliveroo driver will certainly thank you!

When completing a new build or renovation, don’t forget to think about the final piece de resistance – your house numbers! Illuminated LED house numbers are a great option - functional, modern and attractive. They will update your house front and increase kerbside appeal, in one easy step.
