I purchased a pair of these pewter lanterns due to the fact that they are aluminum.  My previous coach lights were plastic and had literally fallen apart due to the intense Florida sunlight they received.  The new lights seem to be well made, they were easy to install and arrived well packaged.  The lights arrived quickly and are a great value for their price.  The lights are attractive in their pewter colored state, but I actually spray painted them white to match my trim and they look great.
