Is the outside of this light plain galvanized or painted?

It is painted a silver finish- It is NOT galvanized ! It can be painted a nice Forest Green.

I have two of these lights. I believe they are painted, but it is the same color as galvanized. The color is solid. Most galvanized has large crystal type of color variations. I have had these lights up outside my garage doors for two years. 90% of them look good. There is a spot at the top of them which is starting to rust. The light outlets are porcelain, high quality considering the price of the unit.

I don't believe it's galvanized, but it has held up very well to the elements. The only areas where there is rust are where the metal coating has been scratched from installation.

I'm not sure of the black finish on the metal post but it appears to be a long lasting finish - we just put it up and it looks great and the lighting is bright at night and lasts all night. We are very pleased with it and recommend your purchase. We did put it in concrete base so it won't get stolen as it is near the front portion of the yard.

It's lightly a brushed/satin finish, but still reflects light off of the outside finish quite a bit. We really like this arc lamp - it's big, impressive, heavy-based. We get a lot of compliments on ours (we bought two, one for a music studio and one for our living room). No surprises on each, shipping was great and prompt. Would buy again. Enjoy.

Yes, it is fine outdoors. I live in MD. and I have this on my outside garage door. It has rained, been freezing cold, and burning hot. It still lights and works just fine.

I agree, so it must be a weathered bronze. I'm OK with it because it's not white, we wanted a dark color where we installed ours.

Its not painted inside. It has cotten lined thought the inside and its for a ten inch subwoofer.

The inside is White, and yes, painted. The neat thing about the lamp is the bulb: the bottom half of it is painted thus alleviating glare. We love it!

It appears to be galvanized....I have to store my boat outside and this has not rusted or corroded. It has only been exposed to fresh water.

Its painted. I'm not familiar with the term primary wood and pine is not dark(I sold lumber for 30 years) . I would guess its an asian lumber in the luan family.

I think it is brushed nickel (has a slivery dual finish). All I know, it is a wonderful fixture, plenty of light and have received numerous compliments.

Brian, the shade is made of lead and high grade plastic. It's not cheap at all, heavy and beautiful in design. There are 2 bulbs. When the light is turned on, it's not white as is shown in the picture, but rather "off white"

There is writing on the end but really not any big deal in my view...I'm primarily using it in an exposed hanging light from the ceiling.

It is metal with a what looks to be a powder coat paint. I think it would eventually get surface rust, but if it doesn't need to look pretty, it would probably last for years outside.

It is white finish. Just a suggestion tho, this fixture works better if you use this bulb instead: (Pack of 6) F54T5/865/HO 54-Watt T5 High Output 6500K Daylight Bulbs

It is painted steel. I am using it under an overhang outdoors to keep it from getting wet.

Dan, it's really sort of a brown/bronze. Or bown with a bronze glaze, lovely color....It's very nice. I purchased two of them for the outside of my home and they are perfect. I would buy them again if I needed more. Good size light and easy to install. Hope this helps.
