Review on 800CBL5PN Electronic Surface Lighting Halogen by Manni Diaz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great lighting option!

We bought two sets of Tiella cord lights to add some light to our newly installed skylights in our kitchen, they were just black holes in the ceiling at night. First. When we installed the skylights, we added a plank to each end of the walls specifically for installing this type of lighting, so we didn't use drywall anchors and screwed the screws directly into the wood base. We have also switched to LED lights purchased from Revain. as part of the option normally purchased together. We only installed two lights per set because we simply wanted to set a light accent. The LEDs do seem to flicker a bit when first turned on but after a few minutes it's barely noticeable, unlike the other places we've had to work with different lighting we had to work with some flickering that gave us all a headache, but not here. I wish there were two sets of turnbuckles included to ensure one end doesn't bend the cable out of the straight rack and in our application the flex is minimal. During assembly, after measuring the cable, I also removed the turnbuckle from the wall, and then cut the cable a little shorter so that I could carefully pull the cut piece of cable back into the bracket so that no loose frays were visible, ATTENTION - Do this very slowly and do not pull the cable out of the bracket as it is difficult but doable to slip a cut, frayed cable back through the hole in the end of the bracket without a good factory plumb.
