My new porch lights turned a simple Tuesday into a total disaster
I installed two new sconces from a big box store on my front porch in Springfield last Tuesday, thinking it would be a quick upgrade. The wiring was fine, but the fixtures themselves were so cheap that one cracked when I tightened the mounting screw. Then it started drizzling, so I had to tape a bag over the hole in the siding for two days while I waited for a replacement. Has anyone else had outdoor fixtures fall apart on them right out of the box?

Ugh, my neighbor's floodlight literally crumbled in his hands.

Seriously, it's like they make some of this stuff out of painted cardboard now. I had a motion sensor light where the plastic lens just snapped in half during a light rain because the temperature changed. The whole unit filled with water overnight.
