Balcony Lighting

Got the dark grey version, not the white
Purchased 2 Philips "IP44 water resistant" lights for the balcony from LEDWorks (bulbs purchased separately from the usual cheap sources). I liked the designed and couldn't find a similar design in Chan Huat or Lightings.com.sg. Should provide enough "mood" lighting for dinners in the balcony when we feel like it.

Being the tinkerer, I of course opened up the light first to remove the large product information label which would be blocking some of the light if left there.

It was only then that I realised that the casing is opened by a screw on top and a screw at the bottom. Because one of the lights would be quite high up on the wall, it would not be possible to screw in the top screw. Oops. Oh well, my solution is to use the bottom screw, and instead of top screw, just use clear scotch tape to secure the top corners. Fortunately, the light casing is plastic with a metal grille, so it's pretty lightweight.
