Kichler Cameron 14.25" Outdoor Wall Light - 1 Light Fixture with Etched Linen Glass in Prairie Rock Finish - Perfect for Porch, Patio, and Exterior Home Lighting

Our original entry lights were over 30 years old and showing their age, with many of the candelabra-style light sockets no longer working. We wanted something new, so after driving around neighborhoods to get ideas on lights we decided on these Kichler 9719PR Cameron lights. We really liked the size and styling, which is a cross between traditional and Arts & Crafts. After living with a fixture that took candelabra style bulbs, we knew we wanted something this time that took a standard light bulb. Having the frosted "linen" glass works well to hide the single standard 60 watt equivalent LED bulb we used in each fixture, which gives off a perfect amount of light. The fixtures are made of cast aluminum and feel very sturdy, much more so than the thin brass metal used on most of the less expensive fixtures we saw. The brownish finish is pretty much the same color as shown on the product photos and very attractive. Mounting these fixtures was fairly straight forward. The mounting plate attaches to your existing electrical box and two screws extend out from the plate to pass through the matching holes in the fixture, where they are secured with a threaded ball cap. The only problem I ran into was that my electrical boxes were not completely flush with the brick wall of the house, so the bracket mounting screws stuck out slightly too far. When the threaded ball caps were screwed all the way onto the mounting screw, they were still not up against the fixture. I solved this problem by just sawing off a 1/4 inch or so the the mounting screws with a hacksaw, making them the correct length. After verifying that everything worked, I sealed around the top and sides of the fixture base plate with 100% clear silicone sealant, as per instructions, to keep any water out from behind the fixture. I also installed two matching Kichler 9718PR Cameron lights (slightly smaller than the front entry ones) on each side of our garage door. I changed out the light switches we have controlling our outside lights with WiFi smart switches (Kasa TP-Link brand) to provide automatic control of our outside lights. We really like the end result. A classy look that should last another 30 years.
