I have soffit lights, come at me!

Also, the example of “bad soffit lights” is literally the worst example possible that could be posited.

I see soffit lights and automatically think of Nazi Germany.

Do you have a German Shepard and spotlight mounted on your roof Manfred?

The soffit lighting looks horrible. Bright light up top and not much below.


I think anywhere you can do landscape lighting that is what should be done. For areas where that is not possible such as driveways, concrete areas, or for a shop then I think tasteful sofft lighting looks great especially if you have them on a dimmer and even better if you have them on a smart switch for scheduling.

I installed soffit lighting on the back of my house. 4” shallow mount with 3 different settings for brightness.

I would not put them on the front of my house.

Going from spotlights to can lights had an unexpected side effect. They don’t draw many bugs. I imagine it’s because you don’t actually see the light source.

I installed them myself using a rotary cutting tool to make the holes and a furring strip to pull/push the wire across.
