This 16 inch light I ordered is beautiful BUT had 3 chips in glass along edges which I turned toward the back. The backplate IS NOT 5 inch square as the picture shows. The 16 inch light has an 8 inch rectangular backplate, and the 12 inch light has a 6 1/4 inch rectangular backplate. I am not happy with the 16 inch light at all, chipped glass, backplate larger than what was specified and pictured, and it looks awkward in the space I carefully measured. I do not have time for packing up, mailing, returning, waiting for another one. I also ordered 2 more 12 inch lights just like it, only smaller for the side of the house and they also have a larger backplate than specified but will be on a solid wall, so that is ok. Haven't installed them yet but they look undamaged.
