Review on Globe Electric 59316 Kit Track Lighting - Dark Wood: One Count Pack for All Your Lighting Needs by Amy Thomas

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Doesn't come with LEDs and is a bit cheap up close, but generally likes it

Two main problems with them, although I generally like them: 1) Poor labeling of what bulbs come in the box Store page and even on the box and included manual. Despite some VERY misleading wording in the LED Q&A, these are actually halogen bulbs. You can tell if you look at them up close and they're piping hot to the touch. Nominal power per 50W (150W lamp?). I replaced them with real LED bulbs for about $12. They are way cooler, just wish they were included. 2) Up close they look so-so. You can tell the jars are wrapped in decal/vinyl and the 'wood' doesn't really look like wood (it's actually a hollow metal frame with room for wires etc.). However, it's not a big deal unless you look at it during installation. Once on the ceiling, they look absolutely beautiful and you can't tell from what materials. They were easy to install, had reasonable cord length, and the wiring was well organized in the frame. Having a second pair of hands to hold it while you connect all the wires would be very helpful.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Infuriates
