Our take on the 17.7" Outdoor Wall Lantern with GFCI Outlet & Motion Sensor

A direct-wired black lantern-style wall light with a built-in GFCI outlet and a motion sensor. The outlet lets you plug in a camera, trimmer or holiday lights without running a cord indoors, and the sensor switches the light on when someone walks up. It stands about 17.7 inches tall, so it suits a porch or garage wall with room above head height. It is a niche fixture; most plain porch lanterns cost less, and you pay extra for the outlet and sensor.

Questions and answers

Does it need special wiring?
It is direct-wired, so it needs a standard outdoor electrical box with line voltage. If you are replacing an existing lantern, the wiring is usually already there. A new run should be done by an electrician.
What kind of bulb does it take?
Most lanterns of this size use a standard medium-base bulb, but check the fixture's rating before buying. LED bulbs run cooler and last longer in an enclosed lantern.
Can the outlet and light work separately?
On most models the outlet is always live and the light is controlled by the sensor or a wall switch. Confirm the wiring setup for your unit, since behavior varies by model.
Will the motion sensor work through glass or in rain?
Motion sensors read heat and movement, so glass between the sensor and the walkway reduces range. Rain and cold can also shorten detection distance.
Is it worth it over a plain porch light?
If you want an outdoor outlet for a camera or lights and automatic lighting at the door, the combined unit saves a separate install. If you only need light, a plain lantern costs less.
