I have had a set of these sconces on the exterior of the first floor for several years. Missed replacing the ones on the second floor. Through this order, rectified that. The product has proved to be excellent against the severe weathering experienced in my coastside home.

The instructions clearly call for a grounding wire. No grounding wire was on the sconces. I called the manufacturer twice, and received no response. I called ATG, and they immediately contacted the manufacturer, and got the information that since these were composite in construction, no grounding was needed.

I bought two of these flood lights and plan to buy 4 more. They do exactly as they say in the description. While the instructions to assemble, install, and test, once you do one the rest go easy.
