Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

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.
