Minka Lavery Outdoor Wall Light 72172-189 Irvington Manor Aluminum Exterior Wall Lantern, 225 Watts, Bronze

I bought four of these lamps and for the money they are very nice fixtures but a bit on the light side since they are made out of aluminum and the color is probably either dipped or spray painted on. Not sure how long they will hold up over time but they probably would be easy to sand and spray again if one had to do so.The one complaint I have about the lights is that the glass has a channel or clips, on all four sides, at the bottom to keep the glass in place but if the wind blows strongly the top has a tendency to flop towards the bulbs. They won't fall out but I've resorted to using a small piece of duck tape until I can come up with a better solution just to guard again the glass getting broken from high winds.The other complaint I might warn people about. If you are replacing an older fixture and have a set in block of wood that has the wire hookups coming through the center of that block on the house then make sure the back mounting plate of the lamp is the correct size. What is also important is where the screw holes are located in the old plate, on the house, where the new screw holes will screw into the lamp. We found that the mounting receptacle could not be modified w/o having to start ripping clapboard off the house and building a whole new mounting block so ultimately husband had to drill new holes in the back of the lamps! This was a BIG project for the first lamp that went up because a template had to be cut of the back of the lamp plate and figure out where the new holes had to go. Eventually everything came together and the fixtures got mounted but it would have been a whole lot easier if the measurements were listed accurately on the webpage. I even contacted the seller who sent me TWO different backplate measurements just to make sure that the backplate would fit the wall plate on the house! I never even guessed I was going to have a problem with how the screws lined up! The screw problem was not a fault of the mfg. or the lamps but the fact that the two were not compatible creating the need for modifications.

I bought three, two for my front entry and one for between the garage doors. They are fine for the money. I can't say that I am extremely pleased but they will suffice. The old fixtures I had were well built and solid but unfortunately were somewhat dated (brass finish) and the finish worn badly from 25 years of exposure.These feel cheap and scratch very easily. The brown finish is very thin and could have used another coat. I would guess that it is not powder coated but simply sprayed since some areas were not painted very well. The strap at the top that goes from the base through the loop was missing on one of them. This one I put between the garage doors and you can't really tell the difference. The glass is rather thin and the tabs that hold them in place may not be the most secure over time. Overall 3 stars may be too high and 2 stars seemed too low.

We have both the LED version and the non-LED version of this light. I like the LED version. It draws attention to the nice fixture and not glaring light. The seller we purchased from, Shoppers Lighting, was great. This is a very nice fixture which lends a rustic, vintage look to a room or outdoor area. Would definitely buy again from Shoppers Lighting.

Bad choose.. should be glass.

The tabs that hold the top of the glass are fine, some people said the glass comes out at the top, not a problem. Took 30 minutes each to install. Packaging was excellent. Put four amber HERO-LED CA10-DSGT-2W-WW22 Dimmable Gold Tint CA10 E12 2W Candelabra Style LED Filament Chandelier Light Candle Bulb, 25W Equivalent, Ultra Warm White 2200K (Amber Glow), 4-Pack and looks Outstanding!
