Tools and Hardware Reviews of Designers Edge L-1795-BR 120 Watt Equivalent Wattage Flourescent Dusk To Dawn Wall LightCustomer Review: 4.5 stars - would buy again Summary: 4 Stars
Somewhat tougher to install than your typical light fixture. I bought two and the first one took about 2 hours to install while I figured out how to make it fit. The second one took about 20 minutes (experience helps).
Complaints: ground screws so tight from factory that screwdrivers and pliers are useless, you need a nut driver to loosen them. Also, there is a manufacturing sticker on the exterior housing that uses an adhesive that makes it impossible to remove completely - I'm hoping it will weather off but it's not a huge deal. Make sure the sockets for the bulbs are properly snapped into place before you mount the fixture. I didn't notice that one of mine was not and it would have been much easier to fix this before mounting.
Good stuff: these are way brighter than I would have expected. Consistently on at dusk, off at dawn. Relatively easy bulb replacement expected based on my installation experience. This is my first successful attempt to use CFLs in any application - if you're reluctant due to experiences with CFL bulbs that wouldn't fit your fixture or CFL bulbs with weird connectors that were difficult to remove or replace, this product might make you a believer. I say this as someone who regards the current green fad with a high degree of cynicism and suspicion, but I don't mind saving a buck if something actually works.
