Love these lanterns. I installed five outside my house. The first one took a little bit until I got in the groove and figured things out. I have next to none experience installing things like this. I believe the last time I installed something was 14 years ago and it was a ceiling fan. None the less, I was able to do so and they look fantastic! A much needed upgrade from the previous contractor grade outdoor lights that we had on the house. If you're debating this is a great purchase!
