Review on 💡 SL928378 Newport Outdoor Ceiling Light by Thomas Lighting - Brushed Nickel Finish by Cindy Plant

Light looks good and spreads the light well. I've read other reviews about it complaining of assembly issues - haven't encountered it myself. The light came with a full round mounting bracket that fits into a standard round electrical box so there were no mounting issues. You will need your own screws to attach the bracket to the electrical box, but these will vary by box. But there are a number of nasty issues with the mount. bear the weight of a heavier lamp (most LED lamps are quite heavy). Second, ground wires are sheathed and must either be stripped or crimped into a terminal since the stranded wire that is exposed is not long enough to properly wrap the ground screw. Third, attaching the mount to the bracket can be tricky as there are no clear holes in the insulation to push the mounting screws through (although I've found this to be a common problem with most flush mount brackets). And fourth, I don't quite understand how this light got wet room certification. After the lid is screwed into the base (there are 4 screws attaching the bottom to the base) there is a gap between the top of the jar and the base (you can even lift the jar and feel free). ) and welcomes both moisture and wildlife into the fixture.
