Review on πŸ”† 9 Inch Square LED Flush Mount Ceiling Light - 36W 3240lm 4000K - Natural White - Kitchen, Bedroom, Living Room, Utility Laundry Closet Room by Denise Shippee

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Non-default US installation.

First prize - super slim - excellent light quantity and quality - excellent installation - difficult to replace an existing lamp in the US. Well, if you're installing in a place where there isn't an electrical junction box (against the norms and common sense) then it should be great. Make a hole for the wires in the drywall, feed it through, attach a 2" x 2" block and put the mount on (pretend you don't have a texture and color that will change when attaching replaces). Real World: Remove the old armature, lift the block to see how it mounts - it doesn't mount, it fits easily in the switch box. They provide a mounting bar. But the handlebar is bent for strength...sounds good, but the bend needs depth. This depth is the gap between your light fixture and the drywall - see image. So if you have the tools to cut metal, you can cut the rod bend where it meets the drywall...or you can cut grooves in the drywall to accommodate the bend. I will choose one of these methods and keep the product for myself because I am a skilled and cheap person. But most people won't do it. The packaging does not match the online specification or description. Waterproof? Uh, no, that's a blatant lie - look at the photos of exposed electrical wiring, no sealing and no drain option. Again, I will keep it and follow the quality for a long time, but most people will not tolerate such problems.

Pros
  • Best in the niche
