Looks cheap and plastic

I really wanted to have that. We needed hallway lighting for our bedroom and this was the first design we settled on after a few months of research. But when we took it out of the box, the first thing I saw was a cheap plastic lid instead of a nice glass lid. I decided to install it anyway and it was pretty easy to install. My box didn't have the "accessory pack" mentioned in the instructions, but all I needed were a couple of screws I found in the trash can. This led to the second issue I noticed, which is that it didn't sit flush with the ceiling for some reason. I took it off and adjusted the screws a few times, made sure the wires were securely hidden etc. No use. It is approximately at a 5 degree angle to the ceiling. When I turned it on, the light quality was really good. Bright but just warm enough that you don't feel like some LEDs give you a department store feel. It also doesn't go too far into the heat to make everything look artificially yellow. That's the only thing I'm happy with, but it's no small thing. However, once the light was turned on, the cheapness of the metal and the plating on the metal was fully revealed. The metal looked more malleable than the plastic, especially on the inside, which is what you'll see most often. In short, now this is the fixture we want to replace. For now he will stay because he is better than the one we hate while we search for the one we both like.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Infinitely slow
