So I know this is an outdoor light and I chose it with the intentions of hanging it outside but when I opened the box and seen it, I immediately fell head over heels in love with it and decided to install it inside my house so I can enjoy it so much more. It is so elegant, heavy, durable, excellently made, very high quality and the way the door in front actually opens up to change the light bulb or to clean the inside, has me crazy over it. I highly highly recommend this light. Im seriously considering ordering another one for outside.
