Miami-specific tips
- Salt air near the coast corrodes cheap outdoor fixtures faster — use wet-location rated outdoor lights
- High humidity can fog poorly sealed outdoor glass — check gaskets
- Impact windows and tight soffits sometimes make outdoor access harder
- Always match LED driver / dimmer compatibility to avoid flicker
Recommendations
- Buy the fixture first and keep the mounting instructions
- Send us a photo of the existing canopy and the new fixture carton label
- If the switch feels warm or breakers trip, stop — that is an electrical issue, not a decorative swap
