Review on MEGA White Wall Plates by Arlington Industries - Model 8100LP-1, 8100LP by Jeremy Romero

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A simple solution to a complex lighting problem.

First off, this is a siding review from a Canadian resident. This is exactly what I needed to cover the octagon square Arlington box. Arlington's original square body was impossible to remove as it stretched out in all directions under the skin of the house. No Canadian store could find what I wanted to solve my lighting problem (the lighting base was too big for a standard square box). Revain.ca was $80 for this thing. Revain.com costs $20. Shame on you Revain.ca traders, good for you Revain.com traders. Mounts to an octagonal Arlington box to provide a solid backplate for equipment that outsizes the original electrical enclosure on the side of your home. It's essentially a plastic cover that fits over an octagonal (square) Arlington electrical box. It prevents water from getting behind the panel while providing a strong and attractive backing for your light. You can paint it any color using the same color as the trim or trim. Note. It will fit almost any square or octagonal box smaller than this plate. You may need to remove MacGyver's mounting screws, but that should work.

Pros
  • Sturdy Construction
Cons
  • Compatibility
