I bought 12 Brick Lights from TLC
IP44 lights (as in first pic)

Due to other projects had only fitted 3 ... and while they are dry and serviceable 'inside' the outer grill (only part on show) is VERY badly corroded. I live aprox 1km from the coast, so there is salt air, but I expected much better performance from an outside light.
So much so that I won't even attempt to use the ones still boxed.

This is not a warranty issues as past that point - but I need to find an alternative Brick Light that will withstand UK water ....... stainless would be an option, but non-metallic possibly if quality material.

Anybody any suggestions ?

I have no experience of these 🤔

Edit: The Saxby lights with stainless front from Screwfix, which look identical to the above, get very bad reviews, primarily about the LED module inside failing.
So probably not such a good idea!

Thnaks for comment and update ...... looks like they could be useful, wonder if there are 'improved' versions out there.
 
These might be ok?
However, it says marine grade stainles steel (304) but I'd be looking for 316. The spec actually mentions 316 but the blurb on the picture says 304.
There are some Italian makers who sell 316 ones but they are very pricey.

Agree that 316 would be much better, due to salt air environment.
