- Does it come with a bulb?
- Most listings ship the fixture only, without a bulb. Check the listing for the bulb type and wattage it accepts before buying.
- How does the dusk-to-dawn sensor work?
- A photocell detects falling light and switches the fixture on at dusk, then off at dawn. Keep the sensor window clear and out of direct shade from the wall or eaves for reliable switching.
- Is it suitable for wet coastal or rainy climates?
- It is built for outdoor wall mounting, but check the listing for its weather rating. In heavy rain or salt air, sealed fixtures with a higher rating hold up better.
- Can I use an LED bulb in it?
- Yes, if the bulb fits the socket and stays within the fixture's wattage limit. LED bulbs run cooler and last longer in enclosed lanterns.
- Is it hard to install?
- It mounts like a standard wall lantern and needs an existing junction box and wiring. If you are not comfortable with outdoor electrical work, hire an electrician.
- Does it work with a wall switch?
- The sensor controls the light automatically, but a wall switch can still cut power. Leave the switch on for dusk-to-dawn operation.
