After spending several hours looking for a Lantern Style lamp with a motion sensor, I found out that the choices as very limited and most of the ones out there available are extremely expensive. After I found this lamp in Amazon at a very low price I was a little worried the product was not going to be of good quality but once I received it I was very pleased with it looks and quality (good materials and craftsmanship). This lamp is a great bargain and looks and works great. Easy to install.

This is my second order for the samelight. Looks Great! Works Great! A perfect match and simple to install. Had it up and running in 10 minutes. Recommend it to anyone!

I wanted to save a little energy with the porch light. I switched from a two bulb dusk-dawn only full strength system. This lantern looks nice and works just fine. The light goes to full strength just as I am leaving the doorway and also when I come up the walk from about 20 feet away.

I bought this a couple of years ago for a vacation rental home. It looks very nice and I really like the way it works- the light comes on at dusk and stays on at a low level, brightening if something triggers the motion detector. After a few hours it goes off and then is still activated by the motion detector until dawn. The only problem I had with it was I stupidly put a non-dimmable compact fluorescent bulb in it which flickered when dimmed. Now I use a 40 watt incandescent bulb in it which provides plenty of light. Since dimmable compacts are available now I plan to try one in it.

It still looks like new after several years of exposure to the harsh Virginia elements! When set to Dusk-to-Dawn, you can leave the light switch on and forget it. The dual-brite function is a really nice touch.

IMPORTANT! As far as I can tell, this fixture doesn't work well with compact fluorescents bulbs (CFLs). Most CFLs are not dimmable, so when this fixture dims the light (restricts the electricity to the bulb), the CFL ballast goes POOF! It happened twice before I realized the reason. To get around this, I'm using a dimmable CFL, which solved the POOF problem.

I bought 2 of these back in december 08 and they have been amazing. Easy install, work great, classy looks. I am 100% satisfied with these lights!

Very nice looking light. Looks great on clay colored vinyl siding. Photocell will not let the light come on in the day when motion is detected. I just hope the antique bronze color holds up. I say this because it is actually brass construction, and brass has a tendency to look bad after about a year in the elements. But for now I have had alot of compliments on this $50 light.

I needed 2 lights for both sides of my front entry and bought one first, just to see if it was all it's said to be. I got the second about a week later. I can't say its the sturdiest assembly I've ever seen, but then again how sturdy does a light like this need to be?
It works as advertised... I have them lit with 15 watt incandescents, on low they have a nice faint glow, barely enough to light my 30 foot long porch. When the motion sensor is activated, there's a nice amount of light to see your way, or to light up someone approaching. The motion sensor is very sensitive at the high setting, 40 feet +. Both were turned down to about mid-way, and they're now perfect for my installation.
I can't comment on long-term service as I've only had these about a month, but if you like the look, and want the function this light has (dual-bright), go for it. I've been satisfied so far.

I fell in love with these lights at a local retailer but couldn't find one I really liked. Amazon came to the rescue with a wider selection and significantly better prices.

These lights were easy to install, even for home improvement rookies. The difference in our front entrance is dramatic from our old brass lights.

My only issues: 1) the dual-brite feature isn't working. My husband is fairly convinced that this is due to the compact fluorescent bulbs we are using. It hasn't mattered enough for us to try a different bulb, so I'm not sure if that's the cause. 2) The screws were too long to fit into our "universal" mounting plate. Again, that was probably due to the construction of our house, but was the only hassle. We used the screws from the old light and had no trouble.

Also, my first choice would have been black.

I would absolutely buy this again, and plan to order similar lights for our back patio area when we get to that part of the house.

Bought one to replace an outdoor porch light on our 1910 house. Matches the architecture of our house and looks right. Most motion lights offered are unattractive looking floods, but this one looks great and does the job (note: this is not a flood light). Liked them enough to order another four for the rest of the house. Highly recommended.
