Here it is 2023 and my lights still look good and work well with absolutely no problems. Don't buy it unless you really like it because you'll have it a long time!!!!!I wrote the review below 2 years ago speaking of the excellent design, manufacture and durability of this light. Here it is 2 years later and the review is still accurate; just add two years onto everything! I would have to say these lights are about the best purchase I ever made!This is a charming, convenient and durable light.07/05/2010I bought my first light like this about 7 years ago. I liked it so much I bought two more lights 5 years ago. All three of them have been nothing but a joy and are still outside being charming and lighting the way.This light has a hollow molded plastic-like shaft and a cast metal light fixture. The plastic-like shaft is plenty strong and the color and finish on it still look almost new after at least 5 years. The plastic globes fit over the light fixtures and have remained tight and kept the light fixtures dry through many a stormy night. The base of this post light is large enough to keep the light steady under most conditions, but I have attached it to the ground so I don't have to worry about it in big wind storms.This light has a heavy electrical wire and comes ready to plug into any outside electrical outlet. Very convenient.I put four CFL light bulbs into each of my three post lights. That gives me plenty of illumination at a reasonable price out here in the country. Now that I can see how beautiful the snow is when it falls on winter nights, I don't hate winter so much!Patio Living Concepts is a brand name I will remember - for all good reasons!
