124485 49538 FJ 1587999240 0 d8a6a90d A We purchased 4 of these beautiful lights for our barn. We ordered 20" shades. These lights bounce in any winds higher than 9 knots. Because we are worried about potential damage, we are reinforcing the gooseneck portion with a V shaped wiring. Takes away from the total look a bit but hopefully it will reinforce the structural integrity of the light. Had I known, I may have chosen a different set up. 3

118320 49538 Dee Anne 1456524480 0 65.98.202.66 A I purchased four gooseneck Outback lights; 2 which automatically come on at dusk and the other two are manual. I LOVE them!! The light they give off are not a stark bight light. They give off a very inviting shade of light that is warm but still bright enough!! I will possible order more lights in the future!! The customer service was really helpful when I was trying to figure out what type of lights I should order. Thank you!! Happy Customer!! 5
