ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sidelight

A sidelight is a window that is usually located next to a front door. It is called a sidelight because it is on the side of the door.

Imagine your front door is like a castle gate. The sidelight is like a little window that a knight or princess can look out of to see who is coming to the castle. It helps them know if someone they want to let in, like a friend or family member, is outside.

Sidelights can be made of different materials, like glass or plastic, and can be plain or decorated with things like patterns or designs. They let light into the entryway of a house, making it brighter and more welcoming.

So, if you see a little window next to a front door, that's a sidelight!
