This is a beautiful post light. Much more substantial than what I was seeing at the big box stores. It installed easily and works beautifully. The glass shade is clear with a ridged pattern but lets all the light through. The glass is thick and it feels fairly substantial.

The cons: I ordered bronze but got black. Only realized this after I put it up. The black is fine and it looks nice, but it was not what I ordered. The way it is constructed allows water to collect on the bottom of the internal chamber. There are 3 small holes for drainage, but it still collects some water in there and it's annoying. The light is made so that this water comes no where near the electrical part of the plastic bulb holder. The bottom part is thick steel and the water doesn't seem to affect it. Nonetheless I would have preferred it had a rubber gasket and was water tight. My solution was to put a line of removable waterproof silicone on the bottom of the glass. It fits perfectly, it's now totally water tight. Problem solved.

This isn't a perfect fixture and I did not have a perfect buying experience, but overall I'm satisfied.

This light appears to be of great quality and works excellent for the lighthouse it sits upon. After much searching, I am impressed and extremly sastified with this selection.
