107249 17396 Courtney Hodshon 1428327000 0 75.141.70.60 A We ordered the Sydney Gooseneck light in bronze and mounted it on the front of our new detached garage. It looks awesome and gets many compliments! The uplight really highlights the building. The light itself is very sturdy and well made and installation was easy! I would definitely buy from Barn Light Electric again. 5
