  Okay I suppose.
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 May 2020
  Could be a little more reasonable with the price. A couple of things could be improved are 1, some sort of housing at the back of the light to receive a correct amps connector. The fact there isn’t a connector at all is a bit mean. 2, the grub screws that hold on the cover could be a little longer. If you screw one side all the way home, the other side isn’t long enough to reach the securing hole. As for if the light reaches the end of its life... is that it for the lamp?

  Attractive but poorly designed
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 October 2020
  To put this in context, I am an experienced DIY'er, so hopefully incompetence didn't play too much of a part in this!This light was bought to illuminate an area near the gate of our house. I had already installed cabling to the location. The biggest problem with this light is that is has not been designed to be fitted onto a hard surface, in my case, a concrete wall. The cable exits the rear of the back plate as shown in the first photo, but there is no channel to allow it to pass out of the lamp base. As shown on the second photo, once you place it onto a hard surface, the cable is in the way and will not allow the lamp to sit flat on the surface. If you can mount this onto plasterboard and tuck the cable behind it, no problem, but this is an exterior light, so that is unlikely. I had to cut the base with a Dremel metal cutter to make a gap through which to pass the cable.It is effectively sealed against the ingress of water, but the sealing looks like it has been done with white silicone by a 7 year-old (third photo). Not a tidy job. The electrical cable is of poor quality, with a very rigid and brittle exterior insulation, and very flimsy individual cables. I had difficulty getting lever-type wire connectors to grip the thin cables.The installation was much more difficult than it should have been, albeit it now looks OK. I had to use two waterproof boxes (as shown in the fourth photo), a small one at the top to contain the connectors for the lamp and a second, larger one, for the wi-fi switch I installed so I can use my mobile phone or Amazon Alexa to operate the light. OK, that was my choice, but the design of the light is poor. You shouldn't have to carve holes in something just to fix it in place and attach the power cable. Disappointing!Update. I submitted the photos in the correct order and they are still in the correct order when I open my review, but somehow the published version shows them in the wrong order. I'm sure you will work it out ?

  Bad design - No space to install and instructions misleading
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2020
  The instructions seem to suggest you open the whole unit up to attach the wires as there is no space between it and the wall, even though it is sealed with mastic. Do not open it up, as there is nowhere to attach anything inside the perspex covering. I eventually tried to attach the wires between the unit and the wall, but it now sits proud of the wall and water will undoubtedly get to the cabling unless I seal it. A world of effort trying to fit which is totally unnecessary if the design had been better thought out.

  Looks amazing..
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 September 2020
  I purchased this without the motion detection. I wanted something a little different than the old style lantern. It’s amazingly bright. The only downside was it says to push the remaining wire into the light which I did but I could see the cable in the light when on so I took it off again and cut the wiring down.Over all a nice, modern and bright light.

  Will not fit flush to wall surface without modification

  The frame of the unit does not allow any space to connect the wiring unless you make an extra frame to make it stand proud of the wall surface.Bad design.

  Good Quality
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 September 2020
  This Bulkhead light is fully sealed against the weather and the ingress of water .The shroud is cast Aluminum which makes for a very stylish unit and confines the illumination upward spread. The light output is very white but very good illumination. The only disappointment is that the 3 core power lead is only 250mm long and cannot be substituted as the light is fully sealed. Some initiative is required to connect to the mains. Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase

  No motion detection on mine as I don't want it as I used for back garden, fitted two wall lights between French doors and it looked great and bright.

  Not bright
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 July 2020
  Not especially bright and no space behind for wires. Had to fabricate a spacer to give room behind for wires and connectors. Also the copper in the wires is very meagre. Wouldn't buy again.

  Great product

  have used battery operated lights for many years over the log pile at the side of the house and was fed up of replacing the batteries ( always seemed to go in the middle of winter!) so these are brilliant.
