Great lantern for the money, quality very well made. Have installed over twenty of then in past in various finishes. Would not hesitate to purchase another one any time soon.

I put two of these a the front door of a two story colonial home and they looked so nice I ordered two more for the garage.They are easy to install and have an expensive look and feel. They are of medium size so they look substantial but not big.
It mounts with the fairly standard X bracket that you screw onto the outlet box and then mount the fixture onto the two protruding screw studs.
The screw studs are about an inch long and they are designed to be adjustable to you can screw them in or out of the mounting bracket so that they only protrude about a 1/4" through the light fixture mounting plate.
For my installation when the mounting screws were adjusted they went too far back and hit the sides of the outlet box. I solved the problem by buying two 8-32 1/2" stainless steel screws and used them to replace the longer screws. When fully screwed into the back of the X bracket they protruded exactly right for the textured nuts that hold the fixture onto the bracket.
And while you are at the hardware store buy some wire nuts for 12-14 gauge wire (you need two per fixture) because the fixture does not come with any. The instructions also recommend you put some clear silicone sealant on the fixture mounting screws to make a water proof seal at the mounting nuts. They also recommend putting a small bead of caulk around three sides on the mounting plate (none at the bottom to allow ventilation) which is a must if the unit will get wet.
It probably took about 7 minutes to install each fixture. I used the new warm white LED light bulbs at are equal to 40W incandescent bulbs but use a fraction of the electricity and last for many years.
