- I purchased 2 of these good quality metal carriage lights. There is no closed bottom on them so changing bulbs is easy. I also purchased the gas-mimicking bulbs which make them even more beautiful.
- I loved how classy they look, the ease of installation, and the quality of the product. This was a great purchase that spruced up the front of the house at a great price too.
- I loved these lights! They were an excellent buy and great quality. Unfortunately, I am returning as they are too wide for the area around my door. I would have definitely kept them otherwise.

- This light really completes the new look for the front of our house. The hardware included was a little wonky and took longer than I thought it works take to install, however it looks great!
- Love the look and easy to install. Had to place a rubber stopper o the bottom because no matter how tight I got it, it would lean against the wall.
- Great design and overall look. The doors to open and access the bulb are a little flimsy but you don’t have to open often so I’m hoping they hold up.
