Review on TALOYA 15.8 Inch LED Ceiling Light 2 Pack - Perfect For Kitchen, Bedroom, Utility Closet And More! by Andrew Grimes

I bought 2 of the 15.8" mainly due to aesthetics since the old light fixtures they were replacing were 15". They're the primary lighting in a basement living area, and I thought the larger size would look better in the room. I also thought larger lights would have better light coverage.Installation is easy, although as a perfectionist, I made it harder than necessary. The wires were fine, I didn't have to strip them any more. They came with both quick push-in connectors and wire nuts. I chose to use the wire nuts since a lot of videos are out there demonstrating wire nuts have better contact area. What made it difficult is that as a perfectionist, I had to take the lights down several times in order to adjust the mounting bracket by loosening/tightening each screw for as even of a gap around the top of the light as possible. Since the lights are perfectly flat on top, every single ridge of ceiling texture and every imperfection will affect how close the light can get to the ceiling. I think being a larger diameter also affects it, as there may be some flex of the plastic top from the weight of the light. Whatever it is, the best I could get is a 5-7mm gap from the ceiling.Overall, I'm very happy with the look, and the brightness is great. They are noticeably much brighter than the "boob lights" they replaced, which had 3x 60W incandescents in each. I picked 3000K, they are just slightly less yellowish than the incandescents they replaced. The style is great. There is no turn-on delay whatsoever.Minor complaints, and why I didn't give them 5-stars:* They make random popping sounds for about 10 minutes when first turned on or off, I'd guess their plastic housings are expanding/contracting from temperature change.* The white is an off-white color. Other reviewers mentioned this so I knew this when I bought them, but I don't know why they didn't just make them normal white. They're close enough I'm overall happy with the look though.Overall, I think they're the best choice if you're looking for the larger size. However, I also bought and reviewed a competitor's similar-looking "13 Inch" (12.79" actual) light which I think would be a better choice if you're after the 12" version in white. The competitor's light is pure white color, has a metal back so it doesn't make popping sounds, is brighter (than the 12" version), dimmable, and cheaper. Granted, it only comes in white so if you want other colors, Taloya is the way to go.
