Tuesday

 

The new entrance lights arrived this afternoon. If we keep these, the platform underneath will need to be lengthened.

The new fixture would hang about here.

I think it will work if we can get the platform extended. The fixture must rest on a flat surface all the way around. 

The garage fixture arrives Friday. It is a similar design but with an attachment in the middle of the fixture. We will wait until we see them all before we decide to keep them and modify the platform or return them and start over.

I unboxed the security lights and decided to hang one to see if we like the accent light. We learned that it stays on all night. The accent light is at the bottom of the fixture.

This is the old fixture.

This is the new fixture.

This is the accent light in test mode. It's off during the day.

This is the accent light at twilight.

This is the full light at night.

Two spots and the accent light.

This is the accent light alone (on the south wall). We need to decide if we want three of these on the backside of the house (east) with the accent lights staying on all night. They are pretty bright and can't be adjusted. I think we would like one on the north side of the house.
