Review on πŸ’‘ Small Flushmount Light Fixture - Designers Fountain 1257S-ORB-AL, 11”, Oil Rubbed Bronze by Mufti Carter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Lots of light and better looks than I could find in big stores

Bought 4 of these to replace very old fixtures in hallways and bedrooms. They look great when installed correctly and produce more light than the competition considering 3 standard bulbs. The frosted glass lampshade does not reduce the light and does not give it a strange or brownish color. with 60W bulbs (who would have thought that could happen). But perfect for bedrooms with LEDs and incandescent bulbs (I used both). There was an issue with CFLs not turning on immediately when the switch was pressed. Or a lightbulb lights up one second at a time. The problem persisted after replacing different but suitable CFLs. In addition, the kit and instructions include a bracket to mount on the electrical box, and then the bracket is attached to the bracket. It was difficult to install the cables used and I couldn't get the fixture flush with the ceiling. The bracket's screw holes are perfectly positioned to be used directly with the switch box, so I just didn't use the bracket that came with it. Then the installation and mounting on the ceiling was perfect and much easier.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Communication with seller
