Discerning homeowners know the fact that house numbers make or break the aesthetics of a home's exterior. More often than not, your guests and neighbors base their first impression of your home on its exterior. Since your house number is visible when one approaches your residence, it must be as striking as possible. Fortunately, stunning lighted house numbers are now available for purchase! Let's take a look at the general things you need to keep in mind when buying the best light up house numbers.

How to determine the right house number size?

The key to determining the right house number size is by measuring how far the mounting location is to the middle of the street (this is where guests read a home address).

Once you got that down, select the size that's readable and clear from the street's midpoint. You may need large light up house numbers depending on the mounting location's distance to the street.

Remember that a house number's height is measured starting from the top to the bottom part. Signage rules on vehicle speed don't apply to light up house numbers since people slow down when in a residential area as they try to locate the house numbers.

What's the best fort for light up house numbers?

When choosing the perfect light up house numbers, you need to be careful when considering the type of font you will use as it will have an impact on your home's aesthetics.

Scrip fonts, thin, decorative font styles, and serif-style fonts can decrease your address' visibility from the road. For instance, Victorian and vintage light up house numbers, including Art Deco tend to be stylized. This makes them difficult to read or see from a distance.

Sans serif fonts that are thick like Helvetica will maximize your lighted house number's visibility. Many contemporary and modern house numbers are designed to be highly visible. This must be your goal.

Homeowners who are style conscious would readily trade readability of house numbers for a unique font style. As for safety-conscious homeowners, they know that it won't only be guests who'll drive by one's home as emergency response personnel who'll be responding to an urgent crisis right at your residence will check for house numbers as well. It’s, therefore, vital that you prioritize readability instead of style.

Even the spacing of light up house numbers is crucial for readability. Designers call the spacing as "kerning." When your light up house numbers are mounted closely, this lack of kerning will create visibility issues.

Conversely, lighted house numbers that are too far apart will not appear to be of a single numeral. Take for example "12390;" it'll seem as if it's "123" and "90" which will add confusion to those who are trying to find your home.

Should you customize your house numbers?

What we always recommend is to have customized light up house numbers. In this way, you will have the chance to adjust the font type and size to ensure the house numbers you mount are the ones that guests and neighbors admire year after year. If you won't be customizing your house numbers, remember that you should only select a design that’s most visible when in the middle of the street.
