Review on Saint Mossi K9 Crystal Rain Drop Chandelier Modern & Contemporary Ceiling Pendant Light H22 X W16 X L16 Room,Bedroom,Living Room by Mike Ramani

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Stunning but needs some modifications

The price is great, and this light fixture is stunning and fairly easy to install, once we added our own mounting screws. It came with 10 tiny screws and tiny anchors that simply didn't look strong enough to support the weight of this fixture. There are 5 holes in the fixture with a spot to place a screw. We used 1.5" drywall anchors and they worked great. Also, the bulbs that are included don't put out much light. With the bulbs included I think it would be better as an accent piece rather than a fixture that is supposed to brighten a room. It comes with 3 watt LED GU10 bulbs that have a very narrow beam, more like a spotlight. The color of the bulbs is an intense blue/white light, which really bothered my eyes when looking at it. These bulbs did not work with our dimmer switch! The pictures I have attached are using the bulbs that were included.We ended up buying 8 watt warm white dimmable LED GU10 bulbs with a 42 degree beam in order to make it work as a light fixture bright enough to illuminate our dining room. The bulbs were fairly easy to switch out, even after all of the strands of glass crystals were in place.About half of the 49 glass crystals were flawed or damaged in some way, so I was a little worried that it would detract from the overall effect of the light. Once we got it installed the damaged crystals weren't noticeable at all, since most of the damage was at the top of the crystals.Also, I would recommend using two people for the installation of the crystals. One person should stand on the ladder, while the other person attaches the crystals to the strands and hands them up to be attached to the light fixture.It is really beautiful, and you can see the prism effect when light shines through the glass crystals. One thing I don't really care for is that the crystal balls make round shadows underneath the light. We have ours positioned above our dining room table and it's a little weird to see all those dark shadows directly under the light! So if you need this light to be able to see detail work, forget it.Overall, I love this light fixture now that we've added improvements to it. The price was low enough that I didn't feel ripped off when I found that we needed to buy an additional $60 worth of anchors and bulbs to get it up to my standards.It was well packaged, and I appreciated the removable protective film over the shiny metal base.
