The EDISHINE HOWL09R combines an outdoor wall lantern with two GFCI outlets. It switches on at dusk and off at dawn, and the outlets let you plug in things like light strings, cameras or tools near a porch, patio or garage without a separate outdoor receptacle.
Two built-in GFCI outlets
A GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlet monitors the current and is designed to cut power quickly if it detects a ground fault, the kind of leak that can occur in wet conditions. EDISHINE says the two outlets add protection from surges, short circuits and other electrical faults, and accept two-prong and three-prong plugs. The listing gives a maximum of 15A and 1800W. It suggests uses such as cameras, light strings, lawn mowers, leaf blowers and barbecue grills. Check each appliance's own power draw against that limit, and follow the manual.
Dusk-to-dawn sensor
EDISHINE says the lamp automatically turns on at dusk and off at dawn. A photocell light sensor does this, so the fixture lights an entrance without anyone touching a switch. The listing mentions patios, garages, balconies, decks, porches, doorways, gardens, hallways and entryways.
Look and glass
The finish is matte black with gold-toned edges, and the shade is hammered water-ripple glass. EDISHINE says it creates eye-catching lighting effects and is easy to maintain. It has a vintage style that suits traditional entries.
Materials and weather resistance
The brand says the fixture is made of 100% aluminum with a coating that makes it waterproof, anti-rust and anti-corrosion, resisting heavy rain, snow, ice and high temperatures. As always with outdoor fixtures, check the manual for how the cover on the outlets is intended to be used in wet weather.
Bulb and socket
The socket is E26, the standard medium base in North America. It takes LED, incandescent or halogen bulbs, none included. The listing doesn't state a maximum bulb wattage, so check the fixture's label and the manual before choosing a bulb.
Size and installation
The fixture measures about 16.0 x 13.0 x 7.0 inches (40.6 x 33 x 17.8 cm). It comes pre-assembled and is mounted on the wall. EDISHINE says to install it at least 6 feet (about 1.8 m) above the ground. Because it contains outlets, it is wired to a supply circuit, not a plug; switch off power at the breaker, follow local electrical codes and the manual, and use a licensed electrician if you are unsure.
Who it suits
It suits homeowners who want an entrance light and an outdoor power point in one fixture, for example to run seasonal lighting or a camera from the same spot.
What to check before you buy
- Outlet height: the 6-foot recommendation puts the outlets high; check whether you can reach them.
- Load: keep devices within 15A and 1800W combined.
- Circuit: confirm your supply circuit is suitable and protected, and check local code.
- Size: about 16 x 13 inches wide and 7 inches deep; confirm the wall space.
- Bulb: supply your own E26 bulb and check the maximum wattage.
- Sensor placement: keep it clear of other lights.
