These small lights are high quality, although the use of somewhat thicker metal for the flaring rim would make them "highest" quality.  They are well made; durability is unknown due to the brief time we've had them, though the solid brass should continue to look better than a plated metal.  The wire light guards would be difficult for someone lacking in hand strength to insert and remove, but they could be left off the lights.  We used these fixtures for lighting the back of the house and the side garage door.  We like the level of light, which is directed to the immediate area rather than spreading widely over the yard in a manner that intrudes on neighbors.
