Philips Mygarden Creek Outdoor Wall Light, White (Requires 1 x 60 W E27 Bulb), Wall Lantern

I should have known from Philips. . Like many of us I have a long and chequered history with outside lights. Cheap ones with bendy plastic fittings, unusable bulb holders at bizarre angles, sliding uncontrollable sharp glass panels, and lanterns which will only go together with what seems far too much force.This time I spent a little more money. . . The unit fits together logically and easily. The electrical side, though cramped as always, is of good quality and the lantern is a joy to behold. It's excellent - I've learnt my lesson. Please don't repeat what I did - buy the Philips first time around, and save yourself the grief!

Looks stylish and gives a good light

GeneralA very modern looking light, a twist from the traditional style of a fire within a lamp well. The shell is made from aluminium and the windows made with plastic so it is pretty light weight compared to the metal casing and glass windows alternative. The windows being made from plastic can make it feel cheap but you wouldn't be able to tell it was plastic just by looking at it. It also means it is less likely to shatter on impact.This light is also compatible with LED bulbs so you can save some wattage while getting the most lumens. I'm currently using a 4W LED E27 SES bulb which is equivalent to a 40W incandescent bulb.

It could be that these type of lighting don't normally come with any screws or raw plugs, but you still need to be aware before you start installation and removing any old lighting. The back panel also didn't have the holes needed to screw into the wall so you will need to make your own either by drilling into it or cutting it out.The electrical wires are colour coded (as they should be nowadays) so wiring any existing wires from your house to the light is not an issue. I suggest you disconnect the lighting from the back base so it's easier to screw the base into the wall. Take a picture before you disconnect or refer to the manual so you know where the wires should go when you reconnect them.Other reviews have mentioned how "fiddly" it is to screw on the caps to fit the lighting onto the base unit. They are not wrong. The screws these caps are suppose to be attach too are about 1-2 mm too short, and unfortunately can be pushed back into the base unit if you are too forceful. These caps are also tiny, especially if you have big hands, and so if you drop them outside you can so easily lose them. To overcome this, I would suggest you put a large light colour sheet or blanket on the ground beneath where your light installation will be to catch the caps and prevent them from bouncing around too much. I would also remove the existing washers on the screws to gain back about 1mm and give you some more leg (finger) room.ConfigurabilityTwo rotating screws on each side - one to adjust for how long the light stays on, and the other for it's daylight sensitivity before the motion sensor begins to work. Because it's a rotating screw you can't get the exact timing or daylight sensitivity and so you must do it by trial or error. I wished it had more settings to adjust for the motion sensor range and angle (as it is slightly too short where I have put it up) but I knew about this when I bought it.Conclusion (TLDR)Very nice modern looking light, supports LED, simple settings but have moderate installation issues. It's a high rating because once it has all been installed it looks great and works as intended even if the controls can't allow for precise settings. Loses a star mainly because of the caveats during installation.

Gives a clear bright light that illuminates a large area in the garden. Bought to replace a similar product that had a fixed non replaceable LED light source that had failed after just 6 years, so very pleased that this product uses replaceable LED lamps.

Looks great, great price, only took me 10 minutes to put up.Only criticism is it would have been nice for the information label to have been on the back of the fitting

I have had so many pir lights on my shed, this one works and is still working.

Creek Base ! Cheap and Cheerful probably cost pennies to make ! Looks OK but if you put a smart bulb in it where the bottom half is coverd and the light is just from the top half of the bulb it looks pretty ridiculous to be fare ! Its so near the top the main view is just of the mount and half of the lower bulb so get a bulb like the one in the picture if you want it to look nice ! As for the connection, its simple but seriously compact so may take some force pushing the connected wires back in ! The Black Ali body is good ! The polycarbonate clear sheild I hope will last without hazing. The bulb mount is huge in relation to the overall design and would ba so much better being half the height inside ! Adequate but nothing to be proud of ! haha !

Ottimo prodotto, ben costruito e di piacevole effetto. Avrei solo allungato la filettatura tra la plastica della sede lampada e il palo, ma comunque va benissimo.

Die Lampen sind aus mattem Kunststoff und recht klein - genau was ich suchte. Sie sind durch das Material sehr leicht und waren einfach zu montieren, wirken aber metallisch und hochwertig. Würde ich wieder kaufen.
