I'm gonna be replacing a outdoor floodlight with a much lower light, but since we have outside solar lights all that need to be lit is the driveway.

It's a motion activated light. Portfolio outdoor.

Should go well with this light I already have:

EDIT: Forgot about the 3 way touch table lamp. Looks sorta like this:

Total cost for the day was a bit over $180.

So um.... Did I pick good quality today? :eek:

The metal work on the tall lamp looks good. I like that. Though i do not like the gold finish on the lamp.
 
The gold lamp was placed in a room with antique lamps with a polished brass finish and actually all look well together.
 
I worked through high school and my first ill-fated trip through college repairing and selling lighting. So I feel obligated to tell you of my hatred for all touch lamps.
The problem with them is that they work of a GFI circuit. You touch it, it grounds, cuts for a second and switches back on at higher setting. Seems like a good idea, except that the circuit is VERY fragile. The slightest static charge in your hand and it's fried.
So always touch another metal object BEFORE touching the touch lamp, particularly if you have been walking across carpet, petting your cat/dog, or live in a dry climate. They aren't all that hard to fix, but it requires pulling out the old circuitry and installing new.

Sorry, had to say it.
 
Okay lol....

I have the touch lamp connected to a home automated system with motion sensor... I leave it on, it comes on when I tell it to, or rather, come in the room.
