Review on FUDESY Dusk To Dawn Sensor Outdoor Wall Lantern - Waterproof Porch Light Fixture With E26 LED Bulb For Front Door, House, White, 3000K by Corey Bigglesworth

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Sorta works good for me

My first impression after opening the box is a bit of disappointment. Although I was aware that the entire lantern is plastic, I was hoping that it didn't look too "plasticy". This is a subjective observation, others may be OK with the way it looks.Installation:I removed the old wall fixture, screwed in the new mounting bracket and wired up the 3 wires. Hot, neutral and ground. Entire installation time, 10 minutes. A 60 watt equivalent LED bulb is included which is a nice touch.Functionally it works fine if you are going to manually turn it on and off. The day/night sensor isn't very sensitive and turns on the light when sunlight isn't shining directly on it. This makes the feature virtually worthless since the east side of my house only receives sunlight until about 12 noon. As a frame of reference, the previous fixture that this product replaced did not come on during the day when it was in shadows, it only came on after sundown.In summary, the product as a lamp functions fine but the light sensor feature does not. This product does not meet my expectations.

Pros
  • Easy installation - With straightforward mounting hardware included in the package, this lantern can be installed in minutes, without needing an electrician
Cons
  • The fixture may not be as durable as other outdoor lighting options
