I can make it work, but it was not as advertised. Advertised s "Motion Sensing", but it did NOT have a MOTION SENSOR as part of the light. It Was not clear that you have to purchase a motion sensing bulb separately. Product label/description was less than clear.

The product was better then I expected for the price point. They have a nice paint finish and are a heavy guage aluminum. . The delivery was very quick and we’ll packed

NUVO SF77/495 Two Light Floodlight Outdoor Wall Mount, UNKNOWN, Bronze/Dark The model reviewed did not have motion detection, and I didn't expect it to have that feature. Feels like a quality product, not like the cheap plastic stuff I've been buying and returning at various national chains locally. Arms can be positioned in any direction prior to assembly! Nice feature! My apologies for the junk pic, but you can see I adjusted the arms to be ~180 from each other. I paid full-price for this product and recommend it. Now all I need to do is find a good sensor light.

Didnt think it would be so hard to find a flood light that: 1. Isnt Built-In LED (So you don't have to replace the whole fixture if/when it fails, most arent dimmable, etc.) 2. Doesnt have motion detection 3. Is attractive, modern looking and basic - nothing too fancy after all its a floodlight 4. High quality, durable metal finish 5. Weatherproof / Wet Rated (live in Florida, even if its covered the elements can be unforgiving) This one ticks the boxes. Happy to pay a bit more for what I want, and with the addition of the LED lights and the weatherproof outlet box I purchased it was around the same price of a lot of the integrated LED options I was looking at. Was additionally happy to see easily understandable instructions and an exploded diagram clearly written by someone with a good command of the English language, high quality hardware, and unexpectedly high fit and finish. For me, totally worth it. Best end result after evaluating a handful of the far-east gray brand lighting options.

Unfortunately there are no installation instructions provided on Home Essentials Direct for this fixture, and the instruction sheet in the box shows the coverplate is to be screwed directly onto a junction box, not mounted to a crossbar. I have attached pictures, but there should be better information on the website so we know what we are buying. There are 2 screwholes in the coverplate, which are 3.5 apart. My recessed junction box screwholes are 2.75 apart. The coverplate has knockouts on the back side, (shown in one attached picture) which are recessed locations for drilling additional screwholes, including ones that are 2.75 apart. The instruction sheet picture assumes that you have a round junction box with 4 mounting holes (2 above and 2 below the centerline). My junction boxes all have 2 mounting holes, directly across from each other on the horizontal centerline. So even if I drilled out 2 more holes in the coverplate, 2.75 apart, the lampholders would then be mounted crooked (on a diagonal). The fixture is very sturdy, strong metal. In addition to the coverplate and two lampholders, there are 2 screws, 2 locknuts, a gasket, a screw-in plug for the third hole in the coverplate, and 2 thick rubber gaskets to protect the sockets from moisture and debris. The screw-in plug is gray metal instead of painted white. A big plus for this fixture is the ability to lock the position of the lights in any direction with locknuts on the outside of the coverplate (at the base of each lamp arm), and with serrated swivels by loosening a phillips screw (I would have preferred a thumbscrew). So if you have a compatible junction box, this could be a great fixture.

I'm giving it 4 stars because it hasn't been installed yet. Looks good and I am going to use it to light my front door. It will be on a dimmer so I can get the "just right" lighting. The flood light will not be seen and will be installed in an overhang.

I bought one of these (in white) to check out quality before buying 5 more that I need. Overall, construction seems good - all metal and appears sturdy. Only time will tell how well the paint will last in southern Florida's humidity. So far I am giving this product 3 stars even though it probably deserves 4, because I encountered several of the same problems other reviews (some a year old) mention, and the manufacturer continues to not correct: 1) There is no mounting plate included to attach to the electrical box, so you have to either use the old one or get one independently. 2) The screw holes for attaching the light base to a mounting plate are too far apart to connect to a standard box mounting plate (the distance should be 2.75 inches) - it turns out there are "punch-outs" on the light base for the correct size, but the wider ones were drilled out by the manufacturer instead. So you have to drill out the alternate set yourself, but now are left with the two original holes which have to be plugged with silicone or something similar to not let water and moisture in. 3) The center of the base plate has a large screw hole opening and the screw plug that is supplied to fit into it is bare metal - not white as it should be, so you either have to paint it or have a silver metal circle in the middle of the light base. It seems the manufacturer should care to make the easy fixes on an otherwise decent quality Chinese product.

I purchased one of these dual light sets to replace an older flood light fixture that didn't protect the bulbs. I wanted something that looked a bit better and also protected the bulbs from the weather, birds, etc. I was very impressed with the lights - very well made, very well painted, and very sturdy. I installed them and it just looks so sharp! I guess I didn't understand how it sort of bothered me to see the bulbs hanging there in the old fixture. This has a very nice, clean look. I liked it so much that I got another fixture and replaced the flood lights on the barn.

Bought these to shelter my LED security lights for the back yard. All my other fixtures are mounted directly under the eves which provide SOME protection, but there is ONE location that is out in the open I needed a longer fixture to get the job done. All of the reviews suggested that large bulbs would fit just fine, AND the image LOOKED exactly like ONE of my fixtures that WAS the right size Well - - THIS one was NOT (see attached photo) Most unfortunate as the construction is quite sturdy and I have no doubt that had it been the right size, all would have been well. As it is, I can't use it, so it has to go back.

I have found it VERY difficult to find a simple flood light that covers the bulbs and activates via a light switch. Leave it to Home Essentials Direct to carry just about anything I need. Installation was straightforward, you will need an outdoor electrical box to attach these lights. I found the screws that attach the fixture to the box were short and had to purchase longer ones. This wasn't a deal breaker, but since I was attaching these under my eaves I was continually dropping the screws trying to secure the fixture to the box. Lastly, for such a simple light, I thought the price was a little excessive (~$35); IMO they should be ~$25, but as long as they last I will have no problems with the purchase. Once everything was connected and secured, I popped in some PR38 outdoor LEDs and I was good to go. Now my backyard lights up well.

I does not come with the mounting box, not even a metal plate (which usually comes with many lights) to attach to the box to mount the new light. It does not fit the current box I have, so I need to either buy a metal plate that can fit and adapt to the new light, OR return the item. Taking into account the extra expense to buy the "adapter", I would have bough a different light. I will give a try and see if I can find a metal plate to adapt, otherwise, it will be returned. Update: I found that mount has another spot you can poke a hole for mounts that are shorter. It worked, but I have two holes showing up (the wider ones). So, I upgraded to 4 from 2 stars ;)

Nice light - all metal construction. Three items to note 1) previously mentioned by another reviewer - the locknuts (and the center nut) are chrome and not bronze - these really should match the color of the rest of the light 2) also previously mentioned by another reviewer - the mounting plate (the big round part) is slightly different than in the picture - just something to note, but not a real big deal 3) My biggest complaint is that it is a bit difficult to tighten the swivel part of the lamps - if you look at the picture, the screw is on the left side of BOTH lights. It makes getting to the screw on the right light a bit difficult because the left light is in the way. They should have made these in right and left cones so that the screw was on the outside regardless of which size. IN ADDITION, the screw head is very soft and started to get chewed up a bit the very first time I tightened it. I also am not sure how they will hold - didn't give me confidence that they were tight and will hold. all that being said, it is still a very good light - perhaps a bit expensive, but again, it is all metal with full metal cones.

I bought 6 of these and they're great. I bought these because I wanted some protection for the light bulbs, and these do exactly that. These are very sturdy and well designed. All the parts are metal and appears to be of high quality. Installation onto standard boxes were easy. I installed CFL and LED bulbs without any issues (I had to pop out a plastic insert to fit the CFL, but that was no big deal.). This saved me some money because I can use indoor bulbs in these protected fixtures. These fixture look great too.
