Progress LightingP5675-20 Cylinder Outdoor, 5-Inch Width x 14-Inch Height, Antique Bronze

I like it so much I got a second one.I have an Adirondack style lake cottage and I’m trying very much for an Arts and Crafts aesthetic.I’m not fond of the typical Prairie/mission style lighting that seems prevalent on the market.In my humble opinion, this fulfills the aesthetic of the arts and crafts movement: simplicity and utility.It shines light upwards and downwards and is ample lighting for my needs.It throws an arc of light about 8-9 feet from the wall.I had my electrician install it so I can not comment on its ease of install, but he got it done quickly.IMPORTANT! This light requires a separate piece that needs to be ordered separately. It’s under $20, it’s a top piece of round (plexiglass perhaps) plastic that prevents rain from entering it directly. Without that piece it is nor approved for exterior use.

Nice looking modern lights.

I purchase this product with a very tight construction schedule to deal with. The up/down cylinder light fixtures were for an outdoor appliation that was to be done in one day.I was surprised to receive the four packages within 4 days of the order, via Fed Ex. Unfortunately there was one important thing missing. THE LENSES for the TOP of the units which was required for an outdoor application. This fact was not mentioned in the product description on Amazon. I called the company, Progress lighting on Tuesday and spoke with a very nice man who created a link for me in an email where I could order the items right away and would include expidited shippin as well as an EXTRA 10% OFF for my trouble.We installed the lighting on Friday and were not expecting shipment till the following week so we planned to just tape plastic over the fixtures. To my surprise and satisfaction the lens that we were waiting for arrived Friday afternoon and we installed everthing complete by the end of the day. The project was a sucess and we did not have to carry it over to the following week.I am 150% satisfied with the PRODUCT but even more so with the service from Progress Lighting.

After an obsessive internet search for elegant contemporary dark-sky outdoor lights we settled for these black aluminum cylinders to replace inexpensive carriage lights that glared into your eyes. Oh my, we are delighted! They are well-made, flat black inside and out, easy to install, and classic modernist design. Simple and perfect, for a fraction of the cost of so many fancier products out there. They throw a lovely triangle of light up into the eaves, and another matching triangle down against the house and walk, it's a cool look at night. Because they are dark-sky, you don't see the bulbs, which is gentler on the eyes. The package does not include lamps, so we got PAR 30 50 watt bulbs instead of the recommended 75 watts--which provide plenty of bright light, and use less energy. We also bought the glass covers for the tops of the lights to keep birds from nesting in them. This is a great lighting solution for our home.

The lights are nice but were not easy to install. It took me about 4 hours to install 4 lights and had to improvise because holes weren’t lining up with each other. Also giving a 3 star because they are very sneaky on the top cover lenses. IT DOES NOT COME WITH IT. I remember reading reviews saying they like it because it comes with the top cover lenses but that is not really the case. It comes down to be around $100 per lamp if you are buying the top lense cover and I feel 95% of people would want to get that. On the good side they look nice so could have been a 4 start or maybe even 5 without the sneaky wording and installation

Held my breath from the moment I dropped 95 bucks on this until I received it and BOY AM I HAPPY!! This is a beautiful contemporary, solidly-built light that was simple to install. Works great if you have a tall exterior wall you want to bathe with light. I replaced a tired, dated typical coach fixture with this and (combined with a dimmer switch) it lets us "gently" light up our house without annoying our neighbors with a visible light source. Not exactly a "Dark Sky" fixture (what with the one lamp pointing up), but with two Feit PAR30/L/LEDG5 LED Dimmable PAR30 Reflector GEN5 bulbs (available on Amazon) and a Lutron TGCL-153-PH-WH CFL/LED Single-Pole/3-Way Toggle Dimmer (also available on Amazon) this light adds beauty and function to our home. If used outside don't forget to get the Progress Lighting P8799-31 Top Cover Lens.

This is a great porch light upgrade from my old and antiquated glass light. It was relatively easy to install, and judging by my old light, way easier to install than the old-style lights. There are multiple grooves for different mounting possibilities/angles. The cables were extra long and easy to tie to the existing house wires. I really like that it sits so snugly against the wall, but would also say that it was the hardest part during installation--trying to find the right spot for the hole and screw blindly. I don't think there are much better lights without having to go custom, and it's a light that has timeless style because it is the representation of contemporary. I can't think of any major cons. I used a GFC at a lower wattage than the recommended bulb that it wants, to save energy. It works great.

ever since I installed these people keep riding by my house trying to find these lights they make my house look good at night

This cylinder style of lighting was recommended to replace our flood lights (who wants red and green flood lights all year round that don't stay tilted up or down?).....it had to go with our Mediterranean style home and other lighting fixtures that we'd already installed. Those fixtures had an 'oil rubbed bronze' finish. We couldn't be more pleased with this product. THo' our other fixtures were more traditional/transitional, this light coordinated with them very well. It could be very contemporary/modern if other features supported that. The powder coating is not shiny which we like and the up light and down light creates an impressive highlight effect and plenty of light for a walk way underneath or for a feature light on an object d'art!. We bought the 75 w Par 30 bulbs and they are plenty of light....if you want a more subtle effect, less wattage would probably work just as well. We are contemplating putting this light fixture where our exterior walls are 15-20' high (vs 12') and think it would be great. Our only complaint would be that the shipping speed on the cap covers is a month longer than the light fixtures themselves. We ordered the cap covers because we saw that other people had experienced trouble with birds nesting inside the lamp (and we have a lot of birds). The cap covers are set to arrive more than a month after the light itself.

Likes:Solid construction.Easy to install instructions.Looks great against by red brick home.Dislikes:I was a little surprised by the size. It was larger than expected but when installed, actually looked better than I thought.Unfortunately, the light did not come with the top lens (used as a rain guard) and sold separately, which I found was foolish. If you're installing the lights outside, you definitely need the lens.(Progress Lighting P8799-31 Top Cover)Note: The bulbs that you're going to purchase for this light should be 100W equivalent and be narrow beam focus, as there's no reflexive material inside the light structure.(NITOR Lighting PAR30 LED Bulb, Short)

Easy to install and a great addition to outside lighting

Good quality and just as described.

Looks great but product really does need the end cap to be functional. It should be included.
