Franklin Iron Works Hickory Point Rustic Outdoor Post Light Fixture Walnut Bronze Steel 21 1/2" Frosted Cream Glass Lantern for Exterior House Porch Patio Outside Garden Driveway Lawn Walkway

The media could not be loaded. These are very nice and robust light fixtures, however as others have mentioned the loose glass panes need addressing. If you install per directions the glass rattles around and is not very secure. Here is what I did and it worked perfectly. The top square final unscrews off the top of the fixture and exposes a 12mm nut. Remove the nut and take off the top of the fixture. This will give you access to the upper channels where the glass will slide into. I got a tube of clear silicone and filled all four channels with silicone then slid the glass panels through the bottom slots. The glass panels will then slide into the silicone filled upper channel. Once all four panes are installed, go to the bottom of the fixture and fill the slots with a light bead of silicone before you install the square holder with the 4 screws. After glass is installed install your bulb through the top of the fixture and reinstall the top. Once the silicone drys the glass panes will not rattle around in the fixture but be safely secured to the fixture frame. In future to change bulb, take off the top of the fixture, like described above, to access bulb. One other thing I did was put grease in the upper final as well as the shaft where the 12mm nut goes to make sure it don't rust in place preventing the easy changing of future bulbs. I also bought the led flame bulbs to make this fixture look like a gas light. It looks great on our rock columns. see pics.

Looked for quite a while for a substantial light for our gate columns and couldn't find much that wasn't over $800/each. Stumbled upon these and very happy with our purchase. For the price these are fairly large and don't look Itty bitty on the column. I wanted an obscure glass so they don't look dirty all the time, love the honey colored bubble glass that gives a welcoming glow at night and I won't have to feel like they need to be cleaned all the time. Who wants to clean their gate glass all the time! The finish is beautiful, they were easy to install and look very regal at the top of our driveway. Very happy with these and highly recommend!

Update:Although I ordered these lights in 2020 they were not installed until the summer of 2021. My first impression was how sturdy these lights were. I did have to use clear caulk when assembling to secure the glass panels better and prevent rattling and movement, but once that was done they were very sturdy and secure. I was pleased with how beautiful they looked installed, and didn't mind how costly they were compared to other manufacturers lights. I felt that the cost was justified. However after only 1-1/2 years the black finish on the top of all the lights is wearing off, leaving a fairly bright orange finish underneath. I've tried to capture this in a photo, but the photo doesn't show the extent of the damage and how visible it truly is even at a distance. Given I bought five different lights (three post lights & two wall sconces) - each at a slightly different stage of wear depending on their location, I'm now extremely disappointed. These are exterior lights and I would expect that the finish would hold up for longer than 1-1/2 years. If you wipe the top of each of these lights it literally comes off. Although quite beautiful These lights are not holding up under the intended use. You could probably find something for half the price that will hold up just as well as these currently are.It is now June 2023 and Not only does the paint continue to wear off of these fixtures, but now a pain of glass has cracked. The glass pain is in a protected area not prone to fly in debris. The glass must have cracked over the winter. My previous cheap fixtures lasted the 25 years I lived in my home. At this point I feel like I threw my money away. Do yourself a favor and pass on this product regardless of how attractive it may be.

The material of this light is made with 1/8 inch sheet metal with a nice decorative coating. I was impressed taking it out of the box that the weight was much heavier than expected. The assembly was straight forward. The glass is installed easily with bend over tabs that rest the glass on attached rubber pads. This was one of those purchases that when the item came, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the purchaseFollowup two years later: I have four of these on top of large stone flat slab columns. They have not rusted, and look as good as the day I bought them.Followup five years later, the lights look great still and have kept their finish. No issues is a good review.

We got two of these to top off our paver installation project and we LOVE the way the lanterns look. But the install was frustrating - something about AC current versus DC current and how they worked with the transformer...blah, blah, blah. Way too complicated for me, but between hubby and the contractor, they figured it out. Also, the glass panes that surround the lanterns are beautiful, but everytime the wind blows, the panes move and we hear the "tap...tap...tap." ANNOYING. Otherwise, I would have rated the full 5 stars.

Unit is well constructed and a bit heavy. Before installation the frosted glass panels need to be installed which is a bit of a pain due to the top cross piece that the top screws into. Installing on the pole is "much" easier with a second person holding the unit while the electrical connections are made.

Electrician installed two on patio stone pillars, not the easiest to install. We prefer oval frosted bulbs, low wattage, warm color. LEDs glare too much. We had to glue all the the glass panels in place to stop the rattling in any breeze. After 2 years, the black finish is worn off, they are matte gray with streaks of dark red, of all things. You get what you pay for, and in our case they were more expensive than they are now. I'm going to paint black with grill paint and keep them a few more years. Oh well.

We purchased 4 of these fixtures for our front gates. They are so well made and look fantastic. Happy with the purchase.
