Emliviar 2 vs Kichler Cylinder

A pair of seeded-glass lanterns against a single cast aluminium cylinder. Both are UL wet location and in the same cost tier, so the choice is about count, light direction and what you can put in the socket.

The differences that matter

Count: the Emliviar 2 is two lights in the box; the Kichler Cylinder is one. A symmetrical entrance needs a second Kichler.
Light direction: the Kichler is listed as Dark Sky compliant, so the light goes down rather than sideways. The Emliviar uses clear seeded glass, which is open to the sides.
Bulb: the Emliviar socket takes up to 100 W, and no bulb is included. The Kichler takes up to 65 W on a BR30, and the listing says it is dimmable with the right bulb and dimmer.
Fitting: the Emliviar's product notes warn the glass panels crack if forced past the retaining prong.
Weather rating: both are UL wet location, so there is nothing to choose between them on that.
