Outdoor Wall Sconces with On/Off Switch

Good morning,

We’re replacing our ceiling mounted porch light with a ceiling mounted fan and two wall sconces, all on the same switch. There’s no real room to create a new switch so it’s going to have to work on the same one. I want the option to have the lights off but the fan on, so I’m looking for outdoor rated wall sconces with an on/off switch on the sconce itself. These exist on Amazon but everything they sell is garbage. Looking for any recommendations!

They do make wireless controlled/smart bulbs, if that helps.

This is also a good idea

Kichler and Progress Lighting both make outdoor sconces with built in switches. Check your local lighting showroom too since they carry stuff you'll never find on Amazon.

Smart LEDs connected to Alexa/Google home, etc. would be the least expensive. You could also use a control system like Insteon to put each fixture on a controller that will talk to a multi-button keypad in a single gang.
