From the Feiss Monterey contemporary outdoor lighting collection, the light offers a great look for porch and patio areas, garages and more. The clear checked glass of the lantern-shaped light is set against a stylish brushed aluminum finish. Frame and wallplate are crafted from die-cast aluminum.
How well does this aluminum finish hold up in direct sun? Can I use a 100 watt equivalent LED bulb instead of an incandescent?

BEST ANSWER:#1) While we don't have this particular wall-mounted Feiss Monterey light in the direct sun, the equivalent pole-mounted version of theirs we do have is holding up fine in direct sun. However, since we've only had it less than a year, it hasn't endured long-term sun exposure.
#2) Yes, we are doing so with such an LED bulb and it's working well.

We have only installed ours 4 months ago and are in the Arizona sun so I can't really answer you question on how the finish hols up, I also use a 60w LED bulb and it works fine.
We had our home completely remodeled and decided to splurge on new lighting front and back. The lights have received complements from all who have seen them. The light refraction at night on stucco is especially beautiful. Also very easy to install and to change light bulbs. Definitely use clear bulbs to get the best effect.
Pros: Easy To Change Bulb, Area Of Illumination, Weather Resistant, Attractive Design, Sleek Modern Design
Terrific looking front porch light - I'm going to order two more for our garage. Great way to spruce up and modernize our 1970's split level. Good design with open bottom for easy bulb changing, and no place for dead bugs to accumulate. Highly recommend for the price. It was a little tricky to install over our old fixture outlet, but didn't take more than an hour.
I bought three of these pictures for the wall of our house to illuminate the deck. The fixtures are high quality, sturdy and extremely attractive. Kind of a contemporary look and the grid design in the glass gives a soft quality to the light.
Pros: Attractive Design, Sturdy Good Quality, Weather Resistant, Easy To Change Bulb, Area Of Illumination
My builder really liked these lights. I was tired of replacing rusty lights every few years. These are a solid weight, and the glass has a nice design. The picture is a good representation of the lights, & they illuminate nicely. I am very pleased with the lights.
Pros: Easy To Change Bulb, Weather Resistant, Area Of Illumination, Attractive Design
I bought three different lamps in the series: a 12.25 in wall lamp; two 9.25 in wall lamps; and one flush mount ceiling lamp. I love the beautiful refracted light patterns cast by the lamps. I recommend using clear glass bulbs to enhance the effect. The lamps are beautiful and modern, and I have had lots of positive comments on the lamps.
Pros: Area Of Illumination, Easy To Change Bulb, Attractive Design, Weather Resistant
We absolutely love this light fixture...so much, that we also ordered the post light. As of yet, we haven't installed either. We are so looking forward to their being ready for use. As for the service, the only thing that was troubling was that we were not told that there was a backlog, and the website stated "in stock", so we had to reschedule the installation.
We recently remodeled our house and needed to replace the outdoor lights. We used two different size of the wall lights and 2 post lights. The lights made a big difference in the look of the house. We very pleased with them.
