   Really nice light fixture and is built well. It has real glass, not some plastic piece. It goes together easy and comes with everything you need. Real nice piece.

   There are five problems with the light. The photograph has the “attachment pads” edited out. That is because they are jacked-up, and must be oriented at a 45 degree angle to install the wiring box. They should be horizontal. The wiring box has no standard electrical installation holes, so you can’t use standard electrical components to mate the light to. The light vapor seal glass is slightly too long. It interferes with the explosion proof cage, so the cage does not install correctly or at a nice centerline orientation front to back. The cage will be cocked because you cannot seat it on the intended 3rd detent to snap it in place. The wiring is #18 braided aluminum? Twisting this wire to 14-2 solid copper is tough and may not be to code. The wiring should have connection screws.

   I was looking for a practical, indestructable light fixture for my backyard. It didn’t need to be pretty, just tough and utilitarian. This fit the bill.

   Amazon’s dimensions are incorrect. The bulb housing is about 8.5″ in height and the diameter of the mount is 4.5″.

   Pros:
   
   -Solid metal case and fixture. It won’t break if you throw a basketball at it.
   
   -The tempered glass housing is very thick.
   
   -It illuminates the area immediately below the fixture which is important when you want to step out into a dark backyard.
   
   -There is a thick rubber seal that prevents water from entering the wiring compartment.
   
   -Easy to install.
   
   -Accepts a standard CFL (compact fluorescent) bulb. There is no bulb included.

   Cons:
   
   -Very utilitarian and industrial looking which might not fit your decor.
