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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Big and Bright - Ceiling Lights

This light took about half an hour to install. I have read some of the other reviews and I understand the difficulties you may be having. You need to connect the wires (3) with the nuts provided. It's helpful to have a ladder and a box or two to elevate the unit high enough while you attach the wires. Once that's done, hide said wires in the electrical box, point the unit up, and reveal two discreet screws in tiny holes so you can flush-mount it to the ceiling. Well good luck because at this point you are under the device and cannot see the screws. So they are just lucky that they hit the target. You push it up, twist the wires and try to hit the invisible screws. This is made more difficult by the thick insulation layer, which makes it impossible to see through the holes. Well I put big holes in the insulation which really helped. I lit the space between the lamp and the ceiling, which also helped. I then used a screwdriver stuck through the bottom of the hole to make contact with one of the screws as I lifted it and drove the screw through the hole. So the other side is simplified with one screw, giving you the advantage with screw number two. Once it was solid I inserted three LED bulbs and then attached the lid. It looks nice and bright.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
