This lamp was chosen after looking at many installed lights, to replace traditional "carriage lamp" style lamps. In contrast to the existing lamps, we wanted something clean and uncluttered, that gave lots of light, but that blended harmoniously with a traditional-style home. We also wanted to be able to reach up into the lamp to replace the bulb, and we wanted a standard, widely available bulb type, so they would be easy to maintain.
The electrician who installed the lamps was impressed by their solid quality. Their large size looks balanced on a traditional two-story home. They give the house an updated, clean look without being too edgy for the style of the house. The design, with glass both above and below the lamp, allows for upward and outward illumination and gives brilliant light. You can choose more illumination with a clear bulb or softer light with a frosted bulb, because the lamp is clear glass.
A good quality, usable, good-looking lamp suitable for most homes.
We have purchased lights made by Seagull in the past, and have been very pleased with the quality, style and price. So when we decided to replace our outdoor porch lanterns, we looked at Seagull first. This is a well made, sturdy, attractive light, and the bulb is very easy to replace from the opening underneath.
