These are good for the price but are dark bronze not matt black as described

We liked the lights, at first. Unfortunately they began to rust 6 months in and now will need replacing. 😩

Overall pleased with these. Some of the sockets don’t hang perfectly straight, which becomes more evident when used with a long Edison bulb, but otherwise pleased with the fit, finish and aesthetic.

Pricier side for porch lights considering its minimalistic/modern design but nevertheless a good product. Replaced old light fixture that had blown ballast with this and paired with bulbs that have a solar cell incorporated (light turn on/off automatically with sunrise/sunset) and simply leave the switch on. Durable product and easy to use. To change bulbs, the bottom is easy to pop off and fits securely with no chance of falling out.

These a great outdoor lights.We used them on our patio. They shipped fast and were packaged very securely. The instructions were straight forward and they were very easy to install. They are great quality. The glass is sturdy. The frame is matte black and looks very nice. They are very modern. The lights are bright. (Buy your own bulbs). They are great price!

We bought one to replace the fixture beside our front door. Liked it so much, bought four more PLUS the same light in the carriage hanging style. We now have two more along the front deck at same eye level as the one by the front door, one on our back deck by the slider, one by the slider off the terrace level patio and the two carriage lights above the garage doors. The night time curb appeal is amazing.

Saw these at a big box store for double the price. While these look nice at a distance, they are not top quality items. They are good for the price. Would have been mad having paid double at the store. But it literally sits on the outside wall and won't be touched other than to change the bulb so it it lasts 3-4 years I'll be happy.

I purchased these lights to update our ugly carriage house style lights on the home we bought. The style is sleek and from the street brightness adds a level of peace of mind whether I'm home or away. The value for the product is unbeatable considering a Big Box store local to me sells the exact fixture for $89.

I had two garage-side light fixtures that were corroded and generally not in keeping with my style, so I decided to track down a couple fixtures that were more my speed. After a couple days, I found a rectangular, black fixture (available in two sizes) that I thought would work well. The two gables are nowhere near the same size, so I thought I should get the same fixture in two sizes. Before spending $200 on each fixture, I thought I should look for something a little more value oriented... and that's when I came across the Bowery 1-Light Outdoor Indoor Wall Sconce (Matte Black, Clear Glass Shade,44176).The first thing I noticed was that the Bowery was about a quarter the price of what I had been looking at. Though there was only one size, it split the difference between the other fixture's sizes... plus, at 16" tall, I wasn't worried about the fixture disappearing on the large gable. Even from the photos, it was clear that the Bowery wasn't quite as nice as the other fixture, but at 10 feet off the ground, I wasn't super concerned about the difference. The fixture arrived well packed, damage free, and fully assembled. Build quality seems fine, and about what you'd expect at the price point. The finish quality is good, with no obvious imperfections on mine. I recommend removing the bulb recommendation sticker (from the socket), as it's kind of unsightly.Installation is very simple, consisting of installing a flange on your j-box. From there, you level the leveling arm on the flange and tighten a couple screws. Connect your hot and common (presumably with wire nuts, not provided) and ground. Finally, you slide the fixture on to two protruding machine screws, and secure the fixture with rubber washers and finishing nuts. Installation only takes a few minutes.I decided to pair my fixture with an Edison-style LED bulb. Since the fixture really puts the bulb on display, and because I need as much light as possible, I opted to use 15W (120W equivalent) bulbs that are tall, oak leaf style. T10-type bulbs might have looked even better, but there weren't any as bright as I wanted. The warm 2700K color temperature suits the overall aesthetic of the fixture, IMO. I've included pictures of the fixture, with the bulb. I've paired my lights with Z-Wave wall dimmers that are controlled by HomeSeer to add dust-to-dawn functionality (and automation with a house-mounted PIR).For the price, I really like the fixtures, and am happy with my purchase. That said, I do have one fairly significant gripe. Considering that this an outdoor fixture, I really think it should ship with a neoprene (or similar material) weatherproofing gasket. It's not the end of the world, and like wire nuts, it's not like you can't provide the materials yourself, but it would have been a thoughtful item to include. Recommended

Looked to upgrade to a modern look... this does the job! I purchased 3 and all were made well without the gobs of black silicon like some have stated. Truly easy to install as it comes with everything from the bracket to the wire nuts, and hardware. This lamp has practically no blocking of your light bulb so it is nice and bright for area illumination. If you need your light directed a particular direction or to not glare upon looking at it, this lamp is not for you.

I really liked the look of these fixtures. So took a chance and ordered two for the front entrance of the house. I have to say I like them even more now. They're really simple in a good way and give off a lot of light due to the clear glass. I ordered some 60 watt Edison bulbs to give them a little more pizazz. The silicone in the corners is somewhat visible as some reviewers mentioned. It's on the inside and not really a standout feature or that big of an issue in my opinion. The quality of these Globe Electric fixtures is equivalent to that of any typical big box store fixtures. If seeing some silicone is that much of a concern for you I would suggest not buying $50.00 light fixtures. I've purchased expensive outdoor fixtures in the past only to be disappointed at how quickly they deteriorated. At $50.00 a pop I'm not all that worried if they don't last forever. I'd definitely recommend these and buy again so much so that I just ordered two more for the side of the house.
