simple but reasonably well made and very nice exterior coating; nice yellow-ish glow from the glass shade

update: this is a solid light but it used to be at a reasonable price of $65. the 60% increase to over $100 in a slow economy is hard to justify and should cause you to consider low priced designer lights

Love the look of this light. Very sturdy construction. The bronze is beautiful and so is the amber art glass. This light looks great with my Craftsman house. I bought two. One for my back door and one for my garage door. The photocell really makes these work well for security lights and because they use the energy efficient flourescent lamps, you don't have to worry about it adding too much to your electric bill.

I am writing this review for anyone like me, who has a porch light WITHOUT a dawn to dusk sensor and has been trying to find an after-market screw on adapter to make it work like one so they won't have to invest in a new porch light like this one. Bottom line: Stop fighting it and just buy this thing already. I tried every screw on dawn to dusk adapter available and they all either didn't work well or stopped working after a short amount of time. In the end, I spent MORE than the cost of this porch light on all those failed attempts and finally just bit the bullet and bought this thing.

Suffice to say, it works great! Turns on at dusk and off by the time I wake up. Just as advertised. I also think it looks great and I love the yellow glow it gives off. I resist CFL bulbs because I hate their blueish tint, but because of the yellow shade this lamp comes with, it's almost as if you have a candle in the thing.

A great purchase that I should have made years ago.

Needed a replacement for two dusk to dawn porch fixtures and these definitely fit that requirement. It's nice to come home to a well lit entryway. Relatively easy to install and the overall look is very nice. While there are other lamps that may have a "better" look- for the price...these do just fine and throw off more than enough light. The individual look of the glass is part of the charm and throws off a very nice warm glow-surprising for a CFL fixture. Would definitely recommend and they were delivered as promised, on-time and packed securely.

This light looks good as long as it isn't high enough that you can see the hardware that holds the glass in place. The mounting hardware is not very sturdy. I ordered two of these and the glass was slightly different shades of "honey". I like the auto on/off and the flourescent bulb. I wish it was not made in China.
