We haven't installed these outdoor lanterns yet, but they really are beautiful!  The bubble glass really adds a luxuriousness to the construction; they'll be a great upgrade for our curb appeal. I'd assume because of the clear glass that there would be a great deal of light. 

My current assessment of the value versus construction is A+.  We got a great deal on a great looking light fixture. I would currently recommend this product to any purchaser.
