Mini Security Light
Conceived + designed “off the roadmap”
Home Depot Customers:
We were able to install this light (in the dark) in less than 10 minutes. I will say that the design of the light points mostly down ward, rather than outward. Becky, Cheltenham, PA
I absolutely love this outdoor light. It looks very nice, and not only that it's very convenient. Installation is pretty easy too for a DIY-er. proudhomeowner
