When you're looking for outdoor lighting decor, a pendant that can hang through wet weather and still look polished is the goal. A 16.5-inch exterior pendant is a common pick for a patio or entryway, and the copper brass lantern shape brings a traditional look. The decision gets tricky when two listings seem to be the same copper brass pendant: both carry the title "Copper Brass Outdoor Pendant Light, 16.5" H Exterior Hanging Light Fixture Water," both list an E12 base, and both are marked for indoor and outdoor use. But one is priced at USD 85.00 in open-box condition, and the other is USD 240.99 as a new unit. That $155.99 spread means you're really choosing between a lower listed price and the perks of a new purchase.
Quick verdict
In short, the open-box listing is for shoppers who want the lower listed price and don't mind an already-opened box. The higher-priced listing is for those who want a fresh fixture and are willing to pay more. The table below shows how listed color, bulb setup, finish type, and condition split between the two.

Where the open-box listing wins
The open-box listing gives you the same exterior hanging light silhouette at the lower end of the listed price range. Its description highlights a waterproof, anti-rust build and notes compatibility with LED, incandescent, Edison, or CFL bulbs. It also calls out a warm 2500-3000K color temperature, which can make a porch feel more inviting after sunset. It requires three bulbs, so you get more individual lamps inside one fixture compared with the new listing's single-light-source setup.
Where the new listing wins
The higher-priced listing is the one to consider if a fresh unit matters. It lists App control and a modern style note, which could appeal if you like operating your exterior lighting from your phone. A fresh fixture means you don't have to factor in the open-box condition.
Product notes
Copper Brass Outdoor Pendant Light, 16.5" H - Open-Box Listing
This open-box copper brass pendant is the lower-priced option in the pair. The listing calls out a clear glass color and an antique brass finish, and its description highlights a waterproof, anti-rust build plus compatibility with LED, incandescent, Edison, or CFL bulbs. The clear glass keeps the lantern look open and bright, while the antique brass finish adds a warm metallic accent. The trade-off is the condition: you're getting an open-box unit rather than a new one. If that arrangement works for you, this listing delivers the lantern look at the lower end of the price spread.
Copper Brass Outdoor Pendant Light, 16.5" H - New Listing
This listing is for shoppers who prefer a fresh fixture for their porch, entryway, kitchen, or home office. It lists a brass color, App control, and a modern style note. The trade-off is the higher listed price within the pair. If a new unit and app-based control are priorities, this is the listing to choose.
Final choice by use case
Choose the lower-priced listing when you're comfortable with a non-new unit and want the lower listed price for this copper brass pendant. Choose the higher-priced listing when you want a fresh fixture with the listed control feature. Both use the same bulb base, so the final call comes down to condition, color, and controls.
