Over the last several months, I've looked at a lot of outdoor light fixtures in an attempt to find something that will work with my house, and most are terrible. In contrast, the Marshall 1-Light lanterns are solidly built, with a classic look that won't be outdated in a decade's time. One note: the pictures and schematic make it look as though the fixture base is circular, but it is in fact oval, measuring 6 3/4" high by 4 1/2" wide.
