Customer Reviews for Newport Coastal Marina 110 Degree Outdoor Black Wall Lantern Sconce

Kind of a dumb design - i had the cycling problem and kept returning the lights as defective. But now i think i found that the light and motion sensor are fighting each other. So I put a piece of cardboard in the cover to block the light from coming out the back of the fixture (toward the sensor) and it seems to finally work. note - I have LED and CFL bulbs, if you use regular lights you don't want to put anything flammable in the light cover...

The lights were easy to install but getting them adjusted is really tricky and still not working correctly. I can stand in front of them and wave and they don’t come on, but let me walk away and they blink.

I bought this for my mothers house. I have one too. They look really nice. We live by the ocean and they really fit in good.

Have had some trouble setting the motion sensor, but It could be the operator too. Pretty and directs the light were needed and not just a blast of light.

These lights do not work and are going to be returned. One stays on and the other 3 wont stay on like they are supposed to. Max time once activated is supposedly 6 minutes. I cant even get 5 seconds out of them. I hhope I just got a bad bunch.

Awful! Does not work properly. Will not stay on in any setting. Slow to come on, shuts off too quickly,,,if it even works!

I hung the light and it never worked properly. It would come on and off on its own no matter what the setting was on. Quality was very poor.

Good looking light overall. The length of time adj doesn't work on my unit. Returning to HD.

The timer to adjust how long the light stays on doesn’t work properly light only stays on for less than 20 seconds

Defective sensor - it just flashes on and off regardless of the sensitivity setting

Second one we’ve tried with a defective sensor - light just flashes on and off all night :-(

My wife and I got this motion light as part of an "update" to our main entry door. We installed a new exterior door, storm door, doorbell, and this light. We went with this motion light because it matched the Newport Coastal Marina lights we have on our formal entrance. The lights match the color of the formal door and sidelights. I will admit. This motion light works very well *IF* used with the correct bulbs. I read the reviews about it cycling on and off but assumed they were defective lights. I installed our light and put a 100 watt equivalent (~15 real watts) LED bulb in it. It cycled on and off, on and off... I stole one of our 150 watt equivalent (~40 real watts) daylight CFL bulbs form the basement and the light still cycled but at a slower pace. I ended up using one of the new 60 watt equivalent (~45 watts) Halogen bulbs. This bulb worked perfectly. It isn't the bulb I would like to use though. I have LED bulbs throughout my house except for my basement where I use CFL's since 150-200+ watt daylight LED bulbs are still too expensive. I would have preferred a 100 watt equivalent daylight bulb for the outdoor entrance. I was only able to find a warm (yellow) 60-watt equivalent bulb. My other Newport Coastal Marina lights without motion detection are using 100 watt equivalent daylight LED bulbs. It appears this lights limitations have to do with the corners Newport Coastal took in wiring in the motion and dusk sensors. The wiring requires (from my experience) a minimum of ~45 watts to a maximum of about 60 watts bulb to operate correctly. While I'm happy with it because I got it working properly and it matches my existing remodels, I have to say I am VERY disappointed with Newport Coastal's lack of updates to this product. Incandescent bulb were banned by the government ~year ago. You CAN NOT GET a true 60 watt incandescent bulb anymore (recommended bulb). Most people are now using LED's anywhere they can (I am)! I know its possible to make LED bulbs work with a motion / dusk light because I am also running a RAB light on my shed with LED lights (AWESOME motion light BTW). Newport Coastal, I almost returned your product even after getting it to work properly with the correct bulb. Why? Because I hate the fact that this bulb takes 42 watts every time it turns on. Update the model and send me one that works with LED bulbs and I will sing your praise!!! I was hoping to get this same light (to keep a theme) for my back door. I also hope to purchase another (non-motion) of these lights for my last remaining door that needs replacing. I'm not soo sure anymore though.

Looks good, stands up to bad weather.

Motion feature did not work. Installation was difficult

Sensor does not work correctly and we've tried adjusting it. It just constantly blinks on and off.

Great light

A new product always seems great at first. The light cover is clear plastic and that is great but lets see over time to make sure the clear plastic does not turn yellow.

Great outdoor light for living on the coast. plastic design will never rust. Well built.

Although the unit looks very nice, when installed it does not work correctly. After dark the unit will turn on when activated via the motion detector but then will cycle on and off every couple of seconds for about a minute. We exchanged the first unit that did this and the second one acts the same

This is a sturdy and good looking light that works well as a motion sensitive porch light. The package included everything you need to install it: slotted metal bracket, screws, and wire nuts. The adjustments are easy to use and the best part is that it uses standard light bulb (I used a LED).

With great joy we purchased this light fixture because it fit the nautical theme we are aiming for in our new waterfront home. The install went fine but the minute the sun went down the strobe light effect began . We tried compact florescent, LED and plain old incandescent bulbs to no avail. I tried adjusting the sensitivity and time duration again to no avail . I'm Glad we only bought one fixture at first , we have a need for at least 3 more but not a chance now. Poor job Newport Nautical this is a beautifully designed fixture , too bad the engineering is sub par. I'll be taking it down in the morning . I don't have the box to return it in so I've basically squandered away $45 . Thanks !

Likes are dependable stylish installation was easy.

I loved everything about this light fixture EXCEPT that it cannot be installed more than seven feet off the ground or the sensor will not pick up motion. I do not recall reading that in the online description or I would not have purchased this light fixture. It makes sense (hindsight) because of the way the non adjustable sensor is placed. This light was returned because I wanted it for the center peak of my garage.

I bought these lights online due to no store stock, and about 2-3 months ago finally was able to get them installed (my handyman had medical issues). They didn't work until I read don't use CFL bulbs. Bought new LED bulbs... worked until the sundown. Then the strobe lights began. Only one worked as it should, while the rest went on and off continuously. Thinking I got a bad batch, I bought 4 more at the store and had my guy take down the old ones and put up the new ones. Same strobe lights. I had to have my guy take all of them down and rebox them for return. So now I'm out $100 in handyman labor and have no lights. So I return the lights to the store - the associate gives me a hard time due to the date, The manager agrees to refund my money but nothing for my costs, aggravations, and time. "Home Depot can't help you." Well, Lowes sure can-which is where all of our business will go including all of our remodel business on the rental homes were have been buying. I'm done with Home Depot

only lasted 8 months. motion sensor quit working,.

The light was easy to install good value for the cost.

Using at seashore because anything not plastic rusts! The motion detector is adjustable and is working very well. The install was to replace existing lights so it was easy. Just remember to screw in the screws that hold the light fixture into the clamp/cross before screwing the clamp/cross to the outlet box!
