Outdoor LED Lantern - Architectural Grade

Bought two of these lights at Costco. They light up the front nicely and look pretty good. Now comes the the problem. They quit working. Maybe in one day or three weeks but they do quit working. Took the first one that quit working back and got another one. It worked for three days and quit again. I know how to wire stuff so I took it apart and as I suspected it was the light sensor that was failing. Since we did not care if it had a light sensor I wired the light without going trough the sensor. It then worked again. A day later the light sensor in the other one failed and I did the same thing to it. Bottom line the light sensors in these lights are defective and made with poor quality. If you do not care if it has a light sensor then wire past it. If you do care then don't buy it. They are good looking lights and at Costco they are cheap.

Item arrived with the glass broken. It was in a Hello Fresh box and not marked fragile. You could tell item had been previously bought and returned as the box had been opened and resealed with tape. I was still able to use since I had original glass from the light that had broken and just needed the light/electrical piece of this. The item came with no instructions.

Worked great but died after about a year would rather buy something that lasts

Got these from COSTCO. We were concerned they wouldn't put out enough light. We anxiously awaited nightfall. It was great. The crackle glass puts out a very unique light. I likened it to a disco ball that wasn't spinning. Quite unique and pretty. They aren't terribly bright, but light enough. We just went out and bought 5 more for the rest of the outdoor lights. It is great that they come on at dusk and off at dawn. We live on a street with no street lights and its awfully dark.

I bought this light for over my garage door. I am amazed at the light output from only two tiny LEDs. The cracked glass style gobe breaks up the light into an interesting pattern. There is enough light for me to consider this a security and decorative light. The light sensor works fine and it is an easy 2 wire and ground wire hook up. My only reservation is the price. I bought mine at $42 and it jumped to $50 when I went to reorder 5 days later. The globe is heavy and high quality but it is only two LEDs and a sensor. But, if you want a lot of light and low energy consumption, this is the fixture for you.

I bought these from Costo to save money as I have 8 lanterns in the front of my home. The LED lighting is adequate, but my husband hates the speckled light pattern. The spotty rays of light are not ideal when you are having an outdoor party where you really need to see what you are doing. It is ok for decoration, not functional if you need light.

Do not buy!!! I bought 5 of these at Costco. Amazingly 3 out of the 5 lights I bought stoped working within a couple of weeks. This is a horrible 60% failure rate. I read in another post from a person that had the same problem, that it is the light sensor that is the problem. That person rewired the lamp to bypass the light sensor. Now it works for them but without the light sensor turning the lights on and off at dusk and dawn (which is the primary reason most of us are interested in this model in the first place). A crappy, crappy product.Update: I rewired all 5 of my lights (took about 15 minutes each) to eliminate the light sensor and they've all been working just fine for several months now. The problem with these is definitely the light sensor. Unless you are willing and able to do this rewiring, do not buy!! In my case, I moved the on-at-dusk and off-at-dawn functionality from the built in sensor (that I disabled) to a light switch on the wall (with a built-in timer). That accomplished the same thing as the faulty sensors. Now I am happy with the set-up.

Bought 3 of these lights from Costco in August. Upon installing them 1 would not work. Returned it and got a new one. All were working fine until 2 weeks ago when another stopped working. Just bought a replacement, we will see if we have any more issues. So, out of 5 lights bought, have had issues with 2...not a good statistic.
