Review on Kira Home Griffin Farmhouse Rectangular by Eric Garron

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A good looking light that is versatile enough to be used as a bedroom light.

If you're looking for a modern take on something that looks like it could be found in the early days of electricity, then this is definitely for you. The price you pay for what you get depends on your point of view and how "NEW" you expect your new device to be, as there are some quality control issues. **If you need quick installation tips, please skip to the bottom of this overview. **You can see in one of my photos where there was some damage to the equipment that was tried to cover up with paint that wasn't quite right. This would be a handicap for us were it not for the fact that the design ultimately means these patches don't receive light and are therefore not visible, but if you're getting A LOT of natural light then this sort of thing is pretty much unacceptable. The instructions are short and I felt like they were VERY lacking and I didn't check the unique hardware they chose for each connection point which is crucial for a safe installation and can make things a lot easier if they do done differently than explained. There's also a configuration they don't include as an option, but in my photos you can see how I "upgraded" the light by removing the circuit entirely and mounting it directly on the panel (which has the added benefit of that there are no exposed cables). **). ** I STRONGLY recommend a quick release bracket, screw lock, a mallet (a hammer and block works too) and a flat head screwdriver. terrible if not corrected. I shrunk some of the hardware, flattened the plate and re-tightened which fixed the skew issues, then a mallet and a square square to set the bottom and get the gold. shifts as each part is tightened. What I did to fix this was manually loosen each part down to a barely tapped thread, apply some threadlock and then use the included hardware end caps to tighten from there so I could make sure all parts were properly threaded. (It wouldn't be fun if something fell from a height). If you like the way I installed it, simply remove the inserts from the two hooks and you can thread them straight into the top of the mount. Just make sure the threads don't stick out too much or the main body of the panel won't be able to sit flush with the ceiling. us. I would have liked all the parts to arrive intact or at least better repaired but we can live with that as the price was quite low.
