WoodsL1707SVBLK Wall Mount Light in Hammered Black Finish Sturdy Die Cast Aluminum Cage; 100 Watt Incandescent; Industrial Design; Suitable for Indoor and Outdoor Use

Before I get into my review, here is a FYI on 'Silver' vs. 'Brushed Steel':At the time I ordered the 'Silver' one, the image was the same (duplicate) of the 'Brushed Silver' one - but when I got it, it was painted more of a battleship grey than silver. I returned the 'Silver' ones and got the 'Brushed Steel' and they look as pictured/what you'd expect.1. Components: The fixture and guard is all metal, with a thick glass screw-in insert. The metal seems to be some kind of nonferrous pot metal, but solidly constructed. There is some clear indication that it's cast metal (rough edges), but this is rather minor in my opinion. Only the pickiest of buyers will notice/care.2. Installation: I was just replacing existing fixtures, so I already had the location on my house wired. Installing them was very easy (this was also the first time I have ever installed a porch light). Note that it does *not* come with screws to affix the mounting plate to the side of your home, nor does it come with wire nuts (to join the wires from the light fixture to the wiring from your home). These are cheap to buy at any hardware store, but it's good to know this before you get ready to install.3. Looks/functionality: I've only had these installed on my house for a couple days, but they work well and look fantastic. They cast the light well and the metal cage that protects the glass does not seem to affect the light or cast shadows in any significant way that I can detect.4. Made in China. Just a FYI to those that want to know where it's made.

If you like this style you will love these fixtures. They are clean, industrial and purposeful yet very reasonably priced. They look fantastic in my barn loft and I don't worry about bumping them or an unnoticed bird nesting on them.

I live at the beach so I wanted a solid, well made metal light fixture to withstand the weather. This is a well made, well designed outdoor light that has a nautical look to it. I love this product, kudos to whomever designed this product!👏👏

This is an outstanding value at less than 1/3 the price of similar items from local supply-houses (Stonco, Satco, RAB).PROS:- Color-matched, solid rubber gaskets (not crappy foam that blows away in the wind, cracks, creases awkwardly during installation, and fails after years of sunlight)- 150W-rated lampholder- Raised grounding terminal stud features detents that help 'set' the wire loop during screw tightening- Kit includes FS round box with 1/2" hubs, and sconce fixture- No grounding connections required in the field for the sconce fixture -- (?) -- there does appear to be a terminal stud formed into interior face of the sconce piece, but it's not threaded nor identified for grounding. The (4) mount screws provide grounding connection to base FS box?TO WIN 5 STARS *****- Stainless steel outdoor mounting screws CAN be magnetic! All outdoor fixture makers need to know this, and implement it, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! For large projects (20-plus fixtures), the fixture that's supplied with magnetic mount screws will be my choice, even if in every other way it is significantly inferior. I have probably wasted about 100 hrs over 10 years, searching for dropped mount screws that are non-magnetic stainless. The 10-24 stainless screws used for outdoor FS box threaded bosses are not easy to replace from stock (or even a trip to the hardware store).- Improve the paint job- Identify the grounding provision between the sconce piece and the FS box, ON THE FIXTURE. Emboss a note indicating four mount screws meet NEC grounding requirements?CONS:- Paint has a couple wrinkles/deformities that might not be as quality as competitors. However, availability of four or five finish styles is unusual in this style fixture.

I purchased 6 of these for use on the pergola I am building over my patio and am very pleased. They arrived just a few days after I ordered them, were well packaged and contained all the pieces needed for a variety of mounting options. The light fixtures are extremely sturdy and I expect them to last for quite some time. The lights are finished in a silver/pewter color that appears to be powder-coat, a very durable paint that is baked on. I chose these lights because of their industrial/steampunk look, but not their color. So I did make a few minor modifications: I spray painted the fixtures with black automotive wrinkle finish paint, wrapped the ceramic bulb insulator with a bit of copper tape then finished them up with an old fashion Edison style light bulbs. I think they look like fixtures that would cost three times the price. They have since gone through several drenching Texas thunderstorms and all continue to work faultlessly with no fogging or condensation build up. (just seal the junction box caps with silicon as the manufacturer's instructions state) I would definitely recommend them.
