Woods L1706BLK Vandal Resistant 150W Incandescent Security Light, Ceiling Mount, Hammered Black

These are sturdy, high quality lights. I mounted a pair of them in my garage ceiling because my kids are always throwing tennis balls around and I wanted to protect the naked light bulbs. Besides, I really like the industrial look these fixtures provide. My only complaint is the instruction manual, which did not make clear that in order to mount these to drywall ceilings and a conventional 4-inch round electrical box, the top part of the light fixture housing must be removed. That's probably obvious to experienced electricians, but not to a first-timer. When I initially tried to mount the fixture, I quickly realized the two screw holes have a 5-inch spread and won't mate to a 4-inch round electrical box. At first, I thought I had to purchase some sort of an adapter to make it fit, but upon closer inspection, I realized I had to unscrew a pair of set screws on the inside of the upper housing and remove the conduit-accepting upper part of the fixture to reveal a conventional 4-inch mount. But, that fact was not obvious to me without some poking around. There is no information about it in the instructions, so I wasted more time that I care to admit. The electrical connections were easy and straightforward, but if you're like me and have never hung one of these before, just know that the instructions don't volunteer much in the way of helpful information. In hindsight, it's clear that the upper housing that I removed is meant for securing it to masonry or a stud for security purposes and to make it vandal-proof.

I purchased four of these lights a few weeks ago to install in a 260 sf room for an industrial look. The ceiling has exposed rafters, so I opted to install them by suspending them from fixture boxes with steel pipe. I found them to be very well made and easy to install. They can accept up to a 150 Watt incandescent bulb, but they provide ample light with a 100 Watt equivalent LED bulb. All this for a very reasonable price.

The lights were great for a project of a Christmas gift I made each of my family members. Perfect for holding all the wiring and components for the lamps. The only thing I am sad about is I bought 5 of them for $20 each and was going to build more, but the price went up to $45 after two weeks. So I will not be able to make some for friends who wanted one.

Fixture is as expected, took 2 weeks to get though with prime so if you need it sooner buy elsewhere

I bought these for my garage. I hit the raw bulbs a couple of times carrying large items like a ladder. I also wanted something that looks nicer than just the bulb. I bought four of these for my garage and they work perfect. I had junction boxes there already but the mounting holes of these don't match. That is not a big deal as I just drilled some holes in the sheet rock and put in some nice anchors. I still put the fixture directly over the junction box. There was no issue. I thought these were great for the price. They appear very sturdy. The glass is heavy and the metal is solid. We are very happy with them. Beware that these are very tall, something like 9". I had a bulb over the garage door. This fixture does not fit there. I will be using a low profile LED fixture for that bulb. Just make sure you measure anything that would be close if you are installing in tight spaces.

I found that the price varies depending on who is selling and from where you buy them. I paid $17.00 for one and $13 for a second, exactly the same brand but from different sellers, (I believe). They are well made, die-cast aluminum with appropriate seals, hence explosion proof. The glass globe is done well and the protective globe cover grill is heavy and well proportioned. Overall, the quality is very good, especially for the price. I purchased the gray powder-coated version and am very happy with them. I used them in my garage when I wire it up last summer adding power outlets (11) with awesome lighting. These two units work from one switch supplying adequate lighting with 75 Watt clear incandescent bulbs for the proper look and I installed (2) other 8-foot LED tube fixtures on pull chain switches to help when I need the extra light for projects. I wired through EMT to gain a very industrial-commercial-factory look. These light fixtures topped off the project perfectly. I love them and am very glad I went with them. I will send photos to anyone wanting to see the installation. In summary: One heck of a nice assembly! Can't beat the price either. Excellent quality with exactly the industrial commercial look I was looking for to outfit my garage / workshop! Perfect! Dominick Esposito, Chester Springs, PA.

For years, I lived with a measly, single unhoused bulb in my garage which not only created a cave-like environment but risked bulb breakage when carrying around tall objects. I decided to fix this once and for all with three of these Designers Edge fixtures. These fixtures are rock solid and indestructible. The steel cage protects the thick tempered glass which by itself would be difficult to break. The industrial design nicely complements my tool-filled garage. I first installed 3 round junction boxes distributed evenly in my ceiling framing. My ceiling is unfinished and these fixtures have screw spacing that is too far apart to mount directly onto round junction boxes. My solution to this was to install 6"W x 24"L plywood to span the ceiling joists and cover the junction boxes. I cut a hole in the plywood to feed the wiring through. The fixtures were then easily mounted onto the plywood. Now I have 3 x 100 watt bulbs (CFL's work too) in unbreakable housing to illuminate my garage and it is great! I also put in a motion detector switch so I don't even need to turn the lights on or off.

Good product
