This is a simple item and was easy to install. I got this mainly because we needed tailgate lighting outside my shop and we have string lights that we run to plug in for events and it gave us an outlet outside so we didn't have to run an extension cord under our door. (fire hazard) and plug in. I asked a friend to install it - we already had the cables because the previous outlet was installed - and it only took a few minutes. I installed a motion sensor led lamp and it works great. It's made of metal and is quite heavy so it seems very well made and will last a long time. It's outside but below the edge of the roof so water is very unlikely to get on it. The only thing I wish was longer chains because I'm not that tall. But that's something that can easily be changed. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.
