Or rather where do I need to go to buy some decent quality outdoor wall lights? Tried the usual B&Q, Toolstation etc and whilst they are lower prices, they tend to go rusty / look scruffy after 2-3 years meaning regular replacement. Not expecting miracles, just lighting that looks nice and lasts well, prepared to spend a bit more to get it. I would assume electricians know the best brands to buy for quality.......

I have bought stuff from a number of places that has lasted well

Dusk Lighting
Castlegate lighting
Universal lighting

If you have issues with stuff going rusty quickly search out lighting that is listed as being suitable for coastal location. They will be more hard wearing than general stuff

Last ones I bought for outside were lantern style and all plastic which I preferred for no corrosion, they were from toolstation.
Think it's pot luck really, just buy what you like the look of.
