This light is awesome!!! I put 3-60 watt bulbs in this thing and I returned daylight to my home in the middle of the night. It is beautiful too. I used the old-fashioned bulbs with the filament showing and it looks great because the glass is nice and clear. It especially looks good accompanied by the 3-light 18" lantern head  in the middle of the lawn. It's not flimsy; it has enough weight to it. It certainly rivals the light it's replacing. So I'm confident it will stand up to the wind on this 1+ acre property. We're relatively unbuffered and the other light didn't break. I'm sure this one won't either. It's a keeper!
