Caged White Stone Glass Outdoor Ceiling Light, Brushed Nickel, 11 Inch | Damp-Rated for Covered Porch, Dimmable, 2 Bulbs Not Included, Fits Sloped Ceilings, Low Profile Drum Design

I was hesitant to puchase this product after some of the reviews stating it was so difficult to put up. Decided to give it a shot and try it anyway. I beleive that the insulation being as thick as it is (which is a good thing) is probably what is giving others trouble lining up the screws. Take your time lining up the screws and compressing the insulation enough to install the fixture and you will find it is really not hard to install at all. They are very attractive when installed (ours are under a car port) give off a good amount of light, and are a nice size. Have not had them long enough to rate how the finish will hold up, and will update this review if there are any problems.

A nice looking fixture and different from a lot of fixtures out there. I installed mine where a light fixture already existed. The old fixture install matched what was needed for this new one, so I was fortunate. The install was easy but a bit akward, so having an extra person to hold the fixture for you while you connect wires and attach to the ceiling is a plus. The two bulb sockets each have their own set of wires (hot, neutral and ground). Looks great on my porch ceiling overhang. I like it.

As most others have reviewed, this fixture is very nicely built and very good looking...thought the image somewhat makes it appear that the glass is crackled grass (which it's not). It's frosted glass. The glass is fairly heavy, making it somewhat difficult (awkward) to remove and replace bulbs...as you need to hold the glass firmly along with the frame to be able to insert the 4 screws. But it's doable. However, there is one significant flaw in how the lamp is wired. The wires should be threaded through the center of the fiberglass insulating mat...so that they so that they don't end up rubbing against the top plate (assuming you use that) or any other plate that may already be in place. But they come with the wires poking through separate holes on the outer edges of the fiberglass insulation mat. Not sure how UL would approved this design, but I can see why the manufacturer did this. To try and prevent the fiberglass mat from twisting during install. But it does that anyway, and it's not much of a solution. The fiberglass mat is quite thick, which as others have noted greatly (and unnecessarily) complicates the install process. Because you have to keep the holes in that thick (moving) mat lined up...compressing it to get the long screws to push though the mat (to the bottom plate). And that mat very much wants to twist and move. Since the mat ends up being grossly compressed anyway (compared to how it starts out), it's silly for the manufacturer to use uncompressed fiberglass. I guess it was cheaper. But it does make the install much more difficult that it otherwise should be. But as I know the existing configuration is unsafe, I changed the design to route the wires into the center of the mat, via an additional hole I created. That worked much better and made sure the wires ended up where they needed to be...in the center of where the fixture attaches to the ceiling plate. As I said, this fixture is very attractive and was worth all the hassle of installing it. At least for me. But the inherent design flaws cause me to mark it down 1 star.

The item is beautiful and very nautical looking. Well worth the price . Easy to install

I chose this to replace an outdoor front porch fixture that I have had issues with excess bugs in the fixture. I hoped the design would keep the bugs out of the globe area, and it does just that. The brightness of the light is much better than the one replaced. Fit & finish are good, and the fixture matches well with our design theme. Installation was very easy, no issues there. Highly recommended.

My husband put it up and it didn't take long at all so let's say easy to install ;-) It looks fabulous! We were selling our home on the water and wanted something a little classy and nautical, but not your average Home Depot/Lowes nautical-look light for over the front door so found this and WOW! Plopped a couple palm trees on either side of the front door and looks like a million bucks. Highly recommend, looks impressive!

I was really surprised, this is a really nice looking design with a bright but soft light. It seems to be a higher quality than most at this price range. One of the nicest things is that I have not noticed any bugs inside the light and it's been running all night for several weeks not.

I've been looking for lighting that was a modern, industrial, doesn't leave the bulb glaringly exposed, and affordable. The only affordable light that i kept seeing are the schoolhouse lights and they just seem so "overdone" at this point. I changed my search criteria to look at outdoor lights and found this. It's perfect. I bought one and decided i liked it so much i would change out the lights in my kitchen and went ahead and bought two more. The glass globes are nice, thick, and frosted. The light creates a nice glow rather than the harsh lighting associated with exposed bulbs. The light is fairly easy to install. The only "problem" with the install is that the light has a lot of insulation and i had a bit of a hard time lining up the screws from my fixture receptacle with the holes in the light's base because of it. The total time from switching the power off until it was back on and bulbs were burning was about 15 minutes. Installed, it looks much more expensive than the $31 price point.

Exactly as described. Looks great on my front porch

Works as expected lovely

Love the look and the fact it's real glass. Two LED bulbs cast huge amounts of light in the hall where it's installed. Way more light than I hoped for. No funny shadows and pretty easy to install. Mine was up in 10 minutes. I wasn't missing any parts, though I did end up using heavier duty wire connectors than were supplied. I'd love a 3 bulb one for another room. As another customer mentioned, there is no rubber gasket, so I wouldn't install this outdoors.

This is an outdoor light that was tidy looking and easy to install. The price was very reasonable.
