Read the guide, maybe you're missing something

After reading all the negative comments about the installation I was a bit skeptical myself as I'm not the most skilled guy when it comes to installation goes for repairs, etc. d I made a mistake right away because I didn't read the operating instructions carefully. The two shorter screws are used to attach the bracket to the ceiling box and these screws fit into the bracket's slot. The longer screws are what you use to attach the flashlight to the box. I suspect a lot of people did it backwards and therefore their screws aren't long enough. I'm not dating everyone, but I'm sure I wasn't the only one who missed it at first. I have no problem aligning the screws as the insulation is bisected on either side and I can easily reach and slide the insulation aside to find the screws with one hand and a flashlight with the other. It took me about 20 minutes in total, but it would have taken less if I got it right the first time. Btw, if longer screws still don't have enough length to reach the fixture then blame the WHO contractor who will most likely be installing that can as the cans that are in the ceiling are roughly flush with the ceiling should be . . If not, then he worked in a hurry.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
