Woods L1706 Vandal Resistant Security Light With Ceiling Mount (150W Incandescent Bulb; Silver)

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.

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.

I live at the ocean so the coating on this product matters. The coating seems sturdy but ocean air and time will tell whether this is a true “marine grade” product.

Purchased several of these. I like the design. I just wish the black was black instead of this mottled silver and black. Annoying. So the pic makes it look blacker than it really looks in person.

Going on a year and a half now - no problems or complaints at all, except for the mud daubers but not the fixture's fault, right? And I didn't like that the retailer would allow only 1 sold at a time (even though i only needed 1, I still didn't like that).Very simple to install; love the small footprint; mine's installed horizontally on 2x8 bracing under our patio awning. It's safe from any direct rainfall but still manages to get damp, but the casing seems solid and well sealed - no signs of any drips or leaks.My favorite feature is its capacity to easily handle 100W incandescent bulbs, which we have an old big box of, and since we don't use this light but maybe a couple of hours in a week, it's a great way to use them up. Very bright!I haven't had to change a bulb yet so i don't know how easy that'll be after sitting so long. But at the time I installed it, everything was a great fit and worked fine..

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 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.

It will make a beautiful rocket lamp. It is a very shiny chrome. Sturdy. Very pleased with this purchase.
