Hi all

I am hoping to get fascias ands soffits sorted (by others) shortly.

The DIY bit will be replacing a couple of lights under an
overhanging extended porch type roof.

Although they will be protected, the two replacement fittings will
be exposed to the elements.
Is there a supplier out there whose fittings don't start rusting
and falling apart within a couple of years of installation?

I live at the top of a hill in East Yorkshire, but the place is
pretty well shielded by surrounding properties.

Thanks

Phil

Coughtrie.

Should see you out if properly installed.

They look a bit utilitarian for my taste.

There are lots of plastic units these days that look just like painted
metal ones. How well they last with sunlight I don't know - but what
does that matter in Yorkshire

I bought some cheap 'antique lanterns' - they are made from anodised
aluminium (black) with plastic (poly carb)? windows. After 18 years they
are doing OK.

I've got some Lidl LED floodlights mounted on an outside wall, so totally
exposed. Still look like new after more than a couple of years.

I'd expect anything from a reputable supplier to be at least as good. Have
a look at what TLC supplies. Their stuff is generally decent quality.

By the time it / they are looking shabby you may fancy an update anyway.

Yep, those that supply a cast aluminium fitting.

But almost all of those come from china now
and the coronavirus outbreak means that
getting them can be a bit tricky currently.

I got some polycarbonate flood lights from them nearly 10 years ago
and they are as good as new, apart from changing the compact
florescent bulbs for leds a few weeks ago, but I suspect they may not
comply with the OP's style criteria.

Astro Lighting have a 'Coastal' range that would probably fit the bill.
Be warned though, they will not be as cheap as something from Screwfix.

I had a search to see what local stockists there are, as wellmas John
Lewis it turned up this electrical distributor, I'd never heard of them
before

https://www.medlocks.co.uk

When I looked at the above website, I had to check with companies house
that medlocks isn't a member of the kingfisher/screwfix group, I think
you can safely say their web-designer was "inspired" by the SF site ...

Not if you have **** for a neighbour, who gets pleasure out
of shooting out external lights if they 'disturb' his sleep.
Got one near me.

Coughtrie went bust in 2009. Is the 'pheonix' coughtrie the same
company, with the same products ?. Stuff that the original
company made seems to sell for stupid prices on fleabay now.

I'd say something designed for the very worst weather might be a tad
overkill where they are sheltered?

Well, the OP did say "the two replacement fittings will be exposed to
the elements". He didn't specify to what extent.
