Customer Reviews for Home Decorators Collection 1-Light Oil Rubbed Bronze Outdoor Wall Lantern Sconce Dark Sky Compliant

I was attracted to this light fixture by its appearance. Wanted a light on the front of my open bay shed to illuminate the entrance but not light up the neighborhood. I mounted this on front of my shed and used a 60 watt equivalent 5.5 watt led antique style bulb. At 2700 K it produces a nice warm light- illuminating the area but not standing out like a bright light. I wired it into a circuit with a dusk to dawn sensor. Works better than I had hoped. If more light is needed or wanted- just need to replace the standard style light bulb. The reason about 4 stars on ease of installation - I have a pet peeve about having to hold a light fixture in place while making the wiring connectors. I like the fixtures that have the little orange plug you wire in and then just plug the light wiring up to it.

This is a nice eco-friendly light fixture that looks great. Being dark sky compliant is a plus, and important to me. This fixture has an oil rubbed bronze finish and looks very appealing. Installation is easy, and it will take up to a 60 watt bulb, not much in incandescent terms, but very bright with an LED. It has a standard bulb screw-in base. It is quite large, but there are smaller models available. Nice lamp.

This is quite a beautiful lamp. The box says large. But it is really huge in appearance. It is very light weight even though the bell is made form steel. Powder coating will make it last a long time. The finish resembles a nice matte finish oil rubbed steel. All mounting hardware is included and the installation instructions are very simple. There are only four steps. The lamp takes only a single 60 Watt lamp, though an LED lamp of any size can be used. Because of the depth, only down-light is seen. All in all, this is a very elegant lamp for such a low price.

This light turned out really nice once I had it in. The installation was really easy and quick. The wiring is straight forward and the mounting was simple. I had it on in like ten minutes and feels like it’s made well also. I really like how it looks like a bell and the way it projects the light in a downward direction looks really cool. It actually lights up my balcony well and gave it a nice touch. The rubbed bronze color looks great and even gives it a fancy feel. I didn’t realize how nice it was until I had it in. Definitely a keeper.

I selected this porch light because I liked the cottage style look of it. I love the matte black finish with the hints of gold accenting. One word of caution. Be sure to measure how much room you have when you open your outside storm door to make sure you have plenty of clearance. The lamp protrudes 9 inches from the side of the house. In my case, that’s very close to the door so I can’t open the storm door all the way. But I still have plenty of room to get in and out of the house. Installation was extremely simple to do. Just be sure you turn off the power before working with any type of electricity. Everything needed to connect the wires and to mount the lamp to the house is included. I strongly recommend that you put a bead of clear caulking around the outer edge of the mounting plate. Two days after installing I already had wasps building a nest behind it. Unfortunately I have the type of siding that has channels in the word that allowed them to get behind the lamp. This is a very classy looking lamp and I plan on purchasing a second one to put on the side of the house next to the garage door. For the price, you will not be disappointed.

I received my Home Decorators Collection outdoor wall mount lantern today, it came nicely packed with no damage. I like that is dark sky compliant, the light shines down where it is needed and does not bother the neighbors. It is a nice dark bronze color and the paint is a durable powder coat finish. I plan on using a L.E.D. bulb in mine to light up a back-yard storage shed, this is a wet rated fixture that can be used with a dimmer. Overall this is a great looking, easy to install outdoor lantern.

I received my Home Decorators Collection outdoor lantern today, these are packed well so there was no shipping damage. This outdoor wall mounted lantern is large it stands 14.9 inches tall, 12 inches round and it sits a little over 13 inches from the wall. The finish is a nice-looking bronze and the paint is a durable powder coating that is rust resistant. With an L.E.D. bulb you can make this lantern as bright as you want. What I like about this lantern is it shines the light directly in front of my shed, it's easy to install and does not bother my neighbors.

Just as described! Just what we wanted for our front and back porches.

I love this sconce. Dark Sky compliance is important to me, and this attractive porch light shines directly where I need light when I need it without leaking light pollution to the surrounding areas. The design works perfectly with my house, and the quality is good. I will be purchasing another to go above the back door of my house.

Have not installed these lights yet but they look great, will probably order 2 more.

We love the look and they are bigger than we thought

These are very nice wall lights. The finish is beautiful and they look great. The dark sky design works great. We bought these and ended up selling the house and just purchased more for the new house.

The bell is larger than expected. Some if the white was on the outside bronze part.

Beautiful addition to our newly remodeled porch.

It did not look like the photograph. I returned it.

One of very few light fixtures that mitigates light pollution.

Love them. Lookslike old mission bell

While the lights look very nice. The install was a total pain in the rear the parts are generic and had to be modified to work in a standard outdoor box. Mounting screws way to long. Had to hunt up extra washers to make work. Also had to bend screws to fit the mounting holes on the lamp.

Very nice looking lights.

The TBD one light outdoor wall mount lantern comes in a nice oil rubbed finish. The wall lantern is stylish and will look great on any home. The wall lantern is dark sky compliant and provides good light and security. The materials used seem to be durable and the construction looks good. The instructions were easy to follow and it took me about thirty minutes to install.

Came in good packaging without any damage or need to improve methods for protection. We put this in our backyard and used some low watt daylight bulbs to add a little extra brightness. The finish and quality is better than we expected and certainly looks high quality. No issues with performance on a routine basis. We really like that all of the light points downwards so it doesn't cover a large area. Took about 10 minutes to assemble.

Beautiful outdoor wall mount lantern. It is a pure oil rubbed bronze piece; and we loved it so much we actually ended up purchasing another one so we could match the look. We put this in our backyard and actually put some really cool bulbs in it and it matches our stringed lights that we have in the back. Installation took about 20 minutes but our electricity was already there (we were replacing an older one)

This is a medium size sconce. There are different sizes available in this style and they look to be quality products. I like the fact that all the light is focused down. No glare, but plenty of light for a doorway or small porch. I used a 75W equivalent LED bulb in this one. Typical install with no problems. The steel construction with powder coat should hold up a long time. Looks classy.

I mounted this light on an exterior wall of my detached workshop to light up a 4 foot walkway between my house and the workshop entry. I used a warm LED bulb to give a soft light and the fixture does a great job of lighting the walkway without being harsh. It is relatively easy to install and requires only basic electrical skills. The fixture looks great and seems to be well made.

Perfect little light for a back or side door. I used mine on my detached garage. Has a real quality look. Not shiny but has a bronze sheen to it. The light is reflected straight down lighting up the stoop area well. I used a 60W equivalent LED bulb. Installation was straight forward with no surprises. From the appearance, I expect many years of service.
