The short answer
Arrange six matching outdoor up-and-down sconces in a three-by-two grid. Use warm 2700K light so the beams overlap into diamonds. Choose solar or rechargeable fixtures for DIY; hire an electrician for hardwired lights.
How to do it
1. Tape up six templates—three across and two high.
2. Level the grid; start 30 to 42 inches apart.
3. Test one light after dark before mounting the set.
Use wet-rated fixtures and keep every beam on your wall.
