Review on 🍷 Newrays Vintage Wooden Wine Barrel Wall Sconce Light Fixture for Indoor Bar Area with Steampunk Theme - Up and Down Lighting (1 Pack) by Jennifer Brogdon

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Difficult do-it-yourself installation

Another reviewer said their electrician "fiddled around a bit". That's an understatement. I am not an electrician but have installed many lights. The inner cable space is not large enough to accommodate wall cables and mounting cables. So everything MUST go into the junction box. This was a backup light for me and the box screw receivers were not good for light leveling. At first glance, this may not seem like a problem as the mount comes with screws and wall plugs for mounting directly to the wall. The problem is that the wall mount holes are not far enough apart to mount directly on the wall as the screw holes go straight into the electrical box. This doesn't seem like a big deal though as I could just do a double mount by attaching a small piece of wood to the back, attaching it to the wall and then attaching the bracket to the wood. Still a problem because there isn't enough space to connect the wires and stuff them into the box. In general, the lamp is poorly constructed. I will continue to "tinker" with it, but if you try it yourself, you need a lot of patience (there are no instructions either).

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Mostly OK, but...
