Review on 🔦 Yosemite Home Decor JK101-11SN Flush Mount Ceiling Light with Marble Glass Shade, Satin Nickel Finish, 11-Inch Size by Joseph Montes

I'm very mechanical but I've had a hell of a time installing this light. If you're not reading the rest of this review, read this. If you're not good with mechanical things or how they fit together, skip this one. I'm just trying to save some of you from a serious aggravation. To be honest this is a beautiful ceiling lamp. We bought this light to complement other lights in our MCM home. The style is perfect for our age of ceiling lights. Now for the not so good ones. Much has been written about bad instructions (photos of six different lights and then you have to decide which light is shown in the photos). The problem is that none of the photos match this 2 socket light. Anyone who has ever installed lights knows that there is little space in a conventional control cabinet. So why such a primitive design with two sets of cords for each outlet. Why not a cord set that supplies power to two sockets? Thick fiberglass insulation is another big problem. Imagine blindly trying to find a small screw head in a thick layer of fiberglass insulation. This is what you will work with to install this light fixture. The fastening screws are supplied already mounted on the cross member. After attaching the crossbar to the electrical box, these mounting screws need to be threaded through the thick insulation attached to the back of the light in the instructions (referred to as "Ceiling Pan"). Now comes the tricky and dangerous part; The light/ceiling tray has two slots, one for each mounting screw, and these are larger at the ends to allow the heads of the mounting screws to go in. These slots are located on either side of the B-pillar base. To lock the jig in place you have to rotate the entire jig which moves the slots from the larger screw head hole to the narrower part of the slots (hope this all makes sense). Now remember that you have cords (two sets - for each outlet in the electrical box that may become twisted, disconnected, crossed, etc. during this turning maneuver). For safety reasons, once I've made the electrical connection, I feel a lot better/safer NOT twisting my carefully placed connections into who knows what position. I don't like this type of installation process on anything involving live electrical wiring. And back to those grooves, when the mounting screws were tightened to attach the mount to the ceiling, the thin metal gave way and the cap screw went behind the mount/ceiling and into that thick fiberglass. I had to use two washers across the slots so there is tension to hold the attachment in place. In order to put the washers on the screw heads, I had to unscrew the bracket and start the installation process again. Coming back to build quality, the thin metal feels like cheap construction. Combined with two sets of cables, potential contact or disconnection due to the location of the mounting screws, twisting to install the light on the ceiling, this will soon be removed. Look for another ceiling light with a safer and better mounting system.
