ᐅ Electrical cables on the exterior facade – what should I do with them?

Good morning,

For almost three years now, an electrical cable has been hanging from the exterior wall of my house since its construction. Originally, we planned to use it for a classic illuminated house number, which you commonly see on many homes. However, the cable is no longer needed for that purpose. Now I am wondering what to do with it.

The only ideas I have are either installing a light fixture (which I no longer need because there is already an integrated one in the eaves) or a security camera (which I don't need either).

Since pressing the cable back into the wall and covering it with filler doesn't seem like the best option, I wanted to ask if you have any suggestions for what else the electrical cable on the exterior facade could be used for. I would appreciate any advice!

I would create a dummy model.

Yeah, a nice fake camera that flashes red when it detects motion.
Or a metal wall sconce (very popular in the Erzgebirge region). 😎
But a nicely plastered and white-painted wall would look better.

However, there are suitable backing plates (made of acrylic, for example) available, so the Schwibbogen also works well against busy backgrounds. Therefore: Schwibbogen+

Or an outdoor socket for lighting in winter, string lights, or similar. You can never have too many of those.

Thank you for all the tips, they have been very helpful! 🙂
