i purchased this for a convenient way to have sound on my deck, without drilling holes through my walls and running speaker wire through my house.... that being said, when the speaker worked, it worked well. Getting the unit to acknowledge that it was a speaker, however, is a greater challenge. Rarely would the little blue light illuminate, indicating it was ready to receive a signal, and more rarely would it actually connect and produce sounds.
I have yet to determine how the unit decides to connect to the antenna and function as intended... in addition, the limitation on the lightbulb makes it doubly ineffective as a light source, so it doesn't live up to both its claims. I would therefore recommend any shopper move on to the next item in the hope that a truly wireless outdoor speaker exists.

Very nice looking and sturdy fixture. Easy install into existing J-box, good instructions, everything included. Sound is fine for what it is. Wireless connection is very good even with tons of other wireless things in operation in the house.
Two Negatives: the rubber seal on the bottom that protects the controls is not very snug. It won't last long at all. Takes Type B light bulbs, 40W max. Pretty useless for a light, but ok for just ambiance.

Nice sound for its size & and it is a very attractive fixture (built-in 40-watt candelabra-base bulb <not included>).
With controls on bottom and mounting bracket on back, this works best when mounted on a wall light electrical box (preferably a metal one). With hardware and great instructions provided, I was able to permanently mount it where there was a wall light fixture on my back porch. It took less than an hour.
Inside the house, my music source is the commercial-free Sirius channels on the TV.

Great Product, but be aware of what you are buying!
This is not a "Wireless" speaker, exactly. The speaker has to be hardwired to the wall for a power source. It does not have a battery or plug-in option. Read more

Nice product
This product was easy to install and worked as promised. The only complaint is a plastic cover that protects the controls. It stays in place but seems somewhat flimsy.
