I wanted to change our old fashioned external house lights and get a more modern but minimalist look. These are perfect! Iinstalled a clear LED bulb, 6W. They look stunning and my garden is well lit. I am giving these a 4 because...unlike the old light fictures, where one side opened to change the bulb, I now have to unskrew the whole top with the glass, to change the bulb. You will need someone to help you do this.
