The aged copper finish adds a decorative element that complements various architectural styles.

Maintenance Features:

Silicone Sealing for Durability: The installation process includes critical steps for applying exterior-grade silicone sealer to the mounting balls and around the backplate. This sealing is crucial for preventing moisture from entering the wire compartment and behind the fixture, which is vital for the longevity and safe operation of an outdoor fixture.
Regular Cleaning: While not explicitly detailed in the provided excerpt, outdoor fixtures generally benefit from periodic cleaning to remove dirt, dust, and environmental buildup that can dull the finish or obstruct light output. The aged copper finish may require specific care to maintain its appearance.
Bulb Replacement: The design allows for straightforward replacement of the bulb when it burns out, ensuring continuous functionality of the light fixture. Users are advised to disconnect power and allow the bulb to cool before removal.
Inspection for Damage: The initial preparation step advises identifying and inspecting all parts for damage before beginning installation, which is a proactive maintenance measure to ensure the integrity of the fixture from the start.
