Bought stainless steel specifically to use in a salt-air environment. Although basic light is stainless, the cage around the glass globe is not....and indeed rusts.

This is a high quality product. My house is on the west coast of Calif. and I choose this stainless steel to hold up against the harsh elements. The style gives a slight nod to the nautical without being over bearing. I wanted something a bit more contemporary, yet still complimentary to my cottage style house. Even after measuring out the dimensions, this is a larger fixture than I expected.(I ordered the smallest size). I will still use it but it's slightly over scale for my small house. The electrician was impressed with the workmanship and simplicity of installation. I ordered another one to hang over the barn-like garage and the smallest size available is a perfect choice for that.

I'm using four of these outdoor sconces IN my design studio - they look really good. They have a great retro/industrial type of feel to them. I can't comment on their outdoor durability as a result, but their overall look is fantastic.

This is a great looking fixture and would work perfectly indoors and out. The dimensions for the small fixture were not posted but they are 6W, 8H,& Projection 7.5. Both the small and larger are larger than expected and may not work for my space but they look great.
