Made from junk hanging around my workshop: A piece of 2X4, some romex cables, old boxes, and an old outdoor fixture. Below there's a switch (to turn the fixture on and off) and an outlet.
I also had 2 of these fixtures mounted on the sides of my house, One was badly damaged and was replaced with a motion detector light and then the current light, a 35W HPS wallpack. The other one which was in better condition remained longer but was finally replaced with another motion detector light.
We used to have one of these on the side entrance but it broken before we moved in so it was replaced by a coach lantern style light which was then replaced by a double par motion detector light, finally the double par was replaced by a 35w HPS tallpack.
The back porch used to have a 500w halogen flood but it was replaced by a 100w MV porch light early last year.
