The light is nice and lit the hallway much nicer than my old fixture which burnt out those small global bulbs every month. There are a few things to care for when installing. It took about 10 minutes from start to finish, and I offer these steps to help you do so too. 1. Have a separate light source so you can see what you are doing. 2. Make sure there is at least 4 inches of source black/white wiring to be able to work it in place 3. Do not use the 3 felt feet as it puts a space between the fixture and the ceiling and it wont catch the bracket. I removed the old fixture and pulled the black/white wires out as long as possible. I removed the wire cover from the new light, and the mounting plate too I then used the 2 screws that provided to attach the plate to the existing mounting bracket inside the existing fixture. Make sure the new bracket sits flush to the ceiling and doesn't creep into the hole, else the flanges do not stick out enough and won't catch on the light. I attached the new bracket and stuck the wires into the holes (Black = L, white = N). I gave them a tug to be sure they wont come out. ** While now hanging from the ceiling I tested the light. I then put the wire cover back on. I had to use a stubby screw driver since you have very little room to work, but it only took 10 turns or so to get it in. ** Once it's screwed on test the light again!!! Sometimes the wire may come out if you didn't push it in hard enough. Then I lifted the light over one of the bracket clips (I suggest the one that is "closest" to the ceiling hole). If the light cannot "catch" the first clip, then you need to loosen the screw a few turns to allow the bracket to be less flush to the ceiling. Once I got the bracket under one of the clips , I pulled the metal "bracket release" and lifted the other end of the light and push it against the ceiling with some force to ensure it's flat. I then let the catch release go and it grabbed the light... took a few times. The light was then holding nicely and I was done. People complain about the battery cover being hard to put back on. If the wire out of the ceiling is too short then simply put a longer dongle/wire and you should be fine. People also complain about the light not being able to grab the bracket... you cannot use the felt feet and you may have to not tighten the bracket too hard against the ceiling. All in all it took just some care and an extra try or two to get it mounted. A little more effort but for the price it was worth it.

Would and will buy again. Great light for bathroom. Good quality and bright.

The light is bright and looks good. The wires coming from my ceiling were short so the install was tricky for a finance guy. I had to add wire in order to connect to the light. After that the rest of the install was pretty easy. 5 stars if it weren't for the light connection requiring so much lead wire.

I purchased this for use on a home project and the ease of installation paid for itself. The functionality was what I was hoping for. Really brightened up the area. I will be using this seller in the future.

Works well. Brightens the room effectively.

If youhave enough wire coming from the box to make it easy to connect (the fixture had no wires to connect to the house wiring), it would difficult to stuff that wiring back into the box in order to engage the fixture onto the mountin bracket. But, having a shorter amount of wire makes it very difficult to insert wite from the box into the fuxture's connectors, as you must turn the fixture almost 90 degrees to the ceiling in order to see what you're doing. After having finally getting it connected, it was way too bright for our good-sized bathroom. It would be a great light for a large room, other than the difficult hookup. I sent it back. P.S. I accomplished the hook up by first inserting short lengths of wire into the fixtures openings, then, attaching the other ends of thise wires to the relatively short length of wire available from the box. I don't know if I could have gotten the whole mess back in the box to allow the fixture to attach to the mounting bracket, as I tested it before trying to mount it, and it was clearly too bright. I then wnet to Lowe's and bout a similarity-sized LED fixture for about the same price with a conventional hookup. It's not warm white, like the returned one or the fluorescent one I replaced; it's cool white, but looks okay in the bath.

As others have said, the installation was quite simple. I helped my husband with the install & I have to repeat what others have said. (Do not add the 3 bumpers to the bottom of the fixture as it will make it hard to attach). My only other recommendation would be to mark the area on the side you plan to attach last as it will be easier lining it up to finish the installation. I was worried that it would hug the ceiling too close or not close enough. I’m actually very happy with the look of it. My bathroom is long and narrow & my old fixture would only light up one side of the bathroom well, where as this one throws more light the full length of the bathroom. There are no color options, it is not dimmable and there is no motion detector. This is a very simple light. I can’t speak for its Lifespan as I’ve just put it up. As for functionality, I’d say this is perfect. Not too big, not too small. Just right.

This fixture puts out good light. However, it was not designed for the American market. First off, the mounting bracket is not big enough for a standard 3.5 inch junction box. I had to modify the bracket for the junction box as well as install braces to allow the bracket to fix against the ceiling. The ceiling is a floating ceiling over the existing ceiling that requires a gap between the junction box and ceiling panels. This gap proved to be too wide for the bracket and a modified brace had to be installed. Most older fixtures would lay flat on the ceiling but this fixture is only held by the bracket. The instructions show the bracket attacked directly to the ceiling with the wires coming out of a small hole drilled through the ceiling. This would require the junction box to be under the ceiling panels (or sheetrock) which in my opinion is a fire hazard. Also, I noticed the bracket would need spacers to allow the fixture to be flush with the ceiling as illustrated in the instructions. A perfectly flat ceiling might work and be a nice tight fit but any texturing or irregularities will not allow the bracket to install in the fixture. The instructions state that the bracket for this model can be used on a 6.35cm/2.57in junction box, not standard in the U.S. Amazon description does not state this issue. (Correction, found the junction box size in the package list section) The instructions state to drill a hole in the ceiling (I assume for in construction or new installation) for the wires to pass through, which is not to code. Another issue that was brought up in the question section asked if the unit has a UL certification. No markings or any indications show the product was tested by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory approved by OSHA. Wiring is straight forward but for one issue. The housing and connector used appears to be designed for a smaller gauge wire then used in normal house wiring. I would suggest to the manufacturer to include a short piece of cabling (2 wire cable appropriate to the connector) that can be attached to the existing house wiring with standard wire nuts. The cable should be long enough to run from the junction box to the light assembly and will feed through the housing opening. Using the existing 14 gauge wire appears to be too much for the connectors and the opening through the housing. Because of the difficulties to install this product and the modifications required, I will not be using this product for the other fixtures that need replacing nor can I recommend this product due to the safety issues. I will be looking for a fixture that does not used a mounting bracket similar to this product and is properly inspected by a recognized safety laboratory. I would also look for a fixture that will sit flush to the ceiling and not rely on a small bracket. I recommend to Amazon to have this product listed as a non-standard fixture for the U.S market.
