“Really nice light overall and I love the way the gooseneck arm looks against the stone on my house. Delivery was faster than expected which was a bonus. The mounting hardware included is decent though I ended up using my own anchors just to feel more confident in the hold.”

“Unboxing this felt like getting something way more expensive than it was. Everything was wrapped carefully and the light itself just has a premium feel when you hold it. Up on the wall it looks fantastic against our white siding.”

“I run a small coffee roastery out of a converted garage space and I put three of these up along the exterior to give it that industrial warehouse feel when clients come by for pickup. The aesthetic is exactly right and customers always comment on how cool the outside looks before they even walk in. The metal construction holds up fine with the temperature swings we get here in the midwest and I haven't had a single issue with any of the three units after almost two months. Easy install, good weight to them, and they just look the part. If you're going for that utilitarian vintage look these are the ones to get, I'd order more without hesitating.”

“Ships fast and looks really good once it's up. Took me a little longer to wire than I expected but that's probably on me for not being the most experienced at this stuff. The final result is clean and I get compliments on it.”

“Compared this to a similar fixture I bought from a hardware store two years ago and this one wins on build quality without question. The arm doesn't wobble at all when tightened down and the dome sits perfectly centered. Great addition to the side of my house.”

“The E26 socket made it super easy to just drop in a smart bulb I already had, so now this thing is on a schedule and I don't even have to think about it. The arm is sturdy and didn't require any extra bracing. Really functional and looks great.”

“Bought this as a gift for my dad who just finished building a workshop in his backyard and he absolutely loves it. He said it looks like something you'd see in an old factory and that was exactly the vibe he wanted. Arrived quickly and was well protected in the box so it got to him in perfect condition. He had it up within an hour of unwrapping it. He's been texting me photos of it at night ever since, honestly worth every cent just for that reaction.”
This light is hardwired, not plug-in, so it connects directly to your home's mains wiring. If you are not confident working with mains electricity, use a qualified electrician.
Installation Steps
Switch off the power at the fuse box before doing any wiring work.
Hold the wall plate against the wall at your chosen spot and mark the fixing holes.
Drill the holes, insert suitable wall anchors, and secure the plate with screws.
Connect the mains wiring to the fitting: live to live, neutral to neutral, earth to earth.
Attach the gooseneck arm and dome shade to the wall plate as shown in your fitting's instructions.
Fit an A19 bulb rated up to 100 W into the E26 socket, then restore power and test the light.
Bulb and Socket
The fixture takes a single E26 bulb, with a recommended A19 shape and a maximum of 100 watts. No bulb is included, so choose one suited to outdoor use.
Placement Advice
The gooseneck arm holds the shade away from the wall, directing light downward. It suits front porches, entryways, garage exteriors, and garden paths where a focused pool of light is useful.
Care
Wipe the metal shade and arm with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can mark the rust-resistant coating.

An Outdoor Wall Light That Suits Any Porch
You step outside in the evening and the porch is either lit by a harsh bulb or barely lit at all. A well-placed outdoor wall light fixes that, adding a warm glow exactly where you need it.
This dome wall light has a gooseneck arm that lifts the shade away from the wall, giving it a classic industrial shape. It suits front porches, patios, garages and farmhouse-style exteriors alike.
Available in copper, polished copper, or matte black with a polished copper interior, it fits a range of exterior colour schemes without feeling out of place.

It takes a single E26 bulb, rated up to 100 watts, and is hardwired to the mains rather than plugged in, so it should be connected by a competent installer.

This light has been on my exterior wall for about six weeks now and I've had zero issues with it through some pretty nasty weather. The dome does a great job directing light downward which was important to me since I didn't want it shining into my neighbor's yard. I'll say the color runs slightly darker than on the product listing, more of a charcoal than a true black, but honestly I think it looks even better in person.

Replaced a boring builder grade fixture with this and the difference is night and day. The gooseneck arm positions the dome at a perfect angle to throw light right down onto my steps which was exactly what I needed for safety at night. Solid purchase.

I was honestly skeptical buying a wall light online because you never really know what you're getting until it shows up. But this one genuinely surprised me. The metal dome is thicker than I expected and the finish has this matte quality that photographs beautifully next to the red brick on my house. I've had cheaper versions of this style before and they always felt flimsy or the arm would start to sag after a few months. This one feels like it'll actually hold up through a real winter. I installed two of them flanking my back door and neighbors have already asked me where I got them. Really glad I pulled the trigger on these.

Really happy with how this looks on my front porch, it gives the whole entryway a more polished industrial look. Packaging was a bit basic when it arrived, just some bubble wrap, but the light itself came through without any damage. Would buy again.

Mounted this on the side of my garage last weekend and it looks really sharp out there. The gooseneck arm gives it that old warehouse feel I was going for and the metal construction feels solid. The only thing I'd mention is the instructions could use a bit more detail for first timers but once I figured it out it went up fine.
