I had to order new exterior lighting for my house and chose this model. I was replacing fixtures with a colored white glass panel. I was concerned about the low voltage rating for the light bulb. However, with the clear glass, this provides plenty of illumination on the front porch. The product is made of a light weight material and I suspect the metal would bend easily. The wiring is sound. We've installed four of the eight lights and have had no problems. I think the image of the finish is representational of what arrived and it is a very nice looking lamp. I particularly like the colonial feel of the lamp base

Looks nice, easy to install, seems durable, although I haven't had it all that long to see what effects the weather will have.

I had purchased two of these light fixtures and my husband and I liked them so much that we decided to buy three more!
