Quality Outdoor Wall Lights
Hi all
Just having an extension re-furb'd and want to fit two outside lights. Can anyone recommend a quality manufacturer/supplier for outside lights. I am looking for a trustworthy source where it is possible to select from a range and know that whichever fitting you choose will last a number of years, not just 18 months. The last fitting I purchased shed its paint within a couple of years. After stripping, cleaning, priming and hammeriting, it then looked smart and lasted for 10 years. I would like to find a range of products that do not need this user intervention. TIA Phil |

They made in Glasgow, if I remember rightly, so should be pretty tough. Kieran |
