Bought these for the front porch. They look great and they give off a nice amount of light.These lights look great, and put out much more light (2 regular size bulbs per unit) than my old "candle" shaped bulbs.Comes with an outside, a base, and glass plates.First you have to assemble the outside of the unit, this is easy and involves sliding glass plates into place. First, put the circular bottom glass in place. Then slide a side plate into place. For each glass plate there are two metal tabs you bend down over the top to secure. BE CAREFUL. You want the glass snug enough so it doesn't move, but if you clamp down the tabs too hard, you may break the glass. So just bend them down "enough".There are also small metal pieces that are supposed to go underneath each side plate to help fill in the small space between them and the round bottom plate. I opted to use that sticky/gummy mounting putting (usually it's white). That made it so there was no rattle or play in the plates AT ALL.I removed the older lights which was easy, leaving 3 wires hanging from ceiling.The round plastic apparatus already in the ceiling had an existing metal bar going across the center (from existing lights). You will remove that one and attach theirs (easy, two small screws). But was a snug fit attaching the included metal bar because it also has an additional two long screws protruding and it barely fit for me. The two long bolts hang down, and that is what the unit base connects to.IF you have not done this before, it can be a bit tricky to hold the unit with one hand, while connecting the wires with the other. You need to splice the 3 wires with twist caps (included if you don't use existing ones). I highly suggest having someone hold the base in the air, while you spice the wires.Once wires, now you must attach the base to the ceiling. This is done by aligning the two hanging down bolts through the holes in the base. Then just twist the base to lock it, then tighten the bolts. Originally I did NOT have my existing power wires up in the plastic "hole", and since those wires are very stiff, it pressed down too much on the base. So I had to remove it, then rewire and make sure the stiff wires were up in the hole. THEN it all fit nicely.Finally, attach the main part to the base, then twist until it stops, then release.So that's how this noob did it, more experienced people can chuckle at me ha. I did notice a crack in one of the plates. I contacted the seller and they responded immediately and are shipping me out a replacement part. So great customer service to go a long with nice looking lights.Very easy to install and it’s very sharp lookingI love this ceiling fixture, I bought it because of the glass it has, and thought it would look good in my front room. It says outdoor but don't be fooled it looked so nice in the front room ceiling. I put the vintage Edison filament bulbs in the fixture with a dimmer switch on the wall so I can dim it. It looks nice in the evening with the dimmer down low and the glass I really like. It came packaged well and you slip the glass pieces inside the metal fixture yourself, bend these metal tabs down that hold the glass pieces in place. No tools, it looks good it's worth the money. This thing looks good inside or outside. It's 12 inches across and the glass is just awesome under it as well.One glass insert was broken and another piece had an extra glass bump on it. The vendor quickly responded with two replacement glass inserts. All pieces are packed extremely well. Hard to believe they were damaged in transit. The light is awesome. A little more pricey than local hardware store chain, but much nicer and no plastic. Instructions not that great but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. We bought these to match other lights we replaced.This light is perfect for above our front door entry! We did have someone install it for us. It was a replacement for an old fixture.Gr8 !! Product. Thank you.I bought one for myself and one for my Mother since both of us had porch lights go out. Had it professionally installed since neither of us does ladders anymore. It is a really nice looking light. I have been hunting for something like this for a long time...so glad we found this one.
