I had been looking for outdoor lighting that looks like indoor lighting for quite a while. When this lamp went on sale I decided to go for it and I’m so glad that I did. The lamp is very attractive and has a good heavy weight. It has withheld wind and rain, and so far it has repelled all of the debris that falls out of trees. I have included a picture of the simple and efficient cover that protects the light bulb from the elements. I’m very pleased with this purchase!
