Review on πŸ”† Modern Brushed Brass VINLUZ 8-Light Sputnik Chandelier – Stylish Semi Flush Mount Ceiling Pendant for Kitchen, Bathroom, Dining, Hallway, Bedroom by Rhonda Tafoya

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I liked the warm brass finish and it shone.

I ordered this lamp because it was unique, I liked the warm brass finish and it seemed the perfect size for my dining room. I also ordered 60W Edison bulbs, they are a good choice. These bulbs give off a warm golden glow, just what I was looking for. They also work well with the Lutron dimmer I installed with the new light. I'm deducting a star because installing this unit was a headache. I say that because the mounting screws on the harness are too short! They don't go all the way through the dome (see picture). I had to abort the install and run to the store for longer screws. I've installed many lighting fixtures in my time and encountered various problems, but this one was unexpected and annoying. When buying a new light, I expect the mounting strap to have the correct hardware. Also, the bolts included in the kit were metric size 4 and the shop I ran to to buy some longer bolts only sold UK sizes so I had to get some nuts as well as the nuts come with the bracket were delivered, then some were too small to fit on the new screws. This issue probably doesn't apply to you, but it's just something to be aware of. And the decorative caps didn't fit properly either, so I had to fiddle with those as well. I like to make sure my flashlight is nice and tidy and doesn't wobble or fall off, so I'm a big fan of a good fit. This added an extra hour to my install that should have taken around 20-30 minutes. Once the correct mounting screws were obtained, installation was easy. All of the levers fold in when taken out of the box and I had no trouble putting them back in place and tightening the screws. The Edison bulbs fit well and the wiring was adequate. Another thing I noticed was that the photos of the lights that were on the list were just photoshopped into some interior design photos, a bit silly but nonetheless. The scale of these images is not exact, they make the light appear larger than it really is. I used the measurements provided to determine if it would fit my dining room and it does fit, but it's a bit small. I prefer my lights to be as big as the space can handle, this one is a little smaller than I expected. I will put it in the hallway and buy more light for my dining room. It now hangs in my dining room and is a fun and unique lamp overall.
