This is a beautiful, well-made lamp and a very good value for the price (especially since the LED bulb is included). We'd been making do with some bargain lamp from Target; this one makes us wish we'd replaced it years ago.

I didn't realize it had locking joints, so it took a bit of getting used to as I moved it around, loosened and locked it repeatedly until I found a position I preferred. We are going for the modern look in our home, thus the style initially attracted us. That said, I also like the chrome finish, giving the lamp a high quality appearance. Speaking of quality, overall the lamp is sturdy and well-built just make sure to lock it into place to prevent it from falling over after adjusting it.

I purchased this chandelier after viewing what felt like hundreds of possibilities. I replaced a thirty-year-old brass and glass fixture that was outdated. This fixture has completely transformed and updated the look of my formal diningroom. It matches the mahogany wood beautifully and the look is gorgeous. As usual, Amazon delivered it quickly, at a very competetive price, and it was packed extremely well. The glass is fragile and arrived in perfect condition.

My hysteria came in trying to determine the equivalent amount of wattage to use with the new bulbs being marketed. The fixture I replaced used six, 40Watt incandescent bulbs. There was no way to determine whether to buy the model with three, 60Watt Xenon bulbs, or go for the same model chandelier with five, 60Watt Xenon bulbs. I spent at least two hours researching online and calling different agencies trying to learn the equivalent light outputs of the newer bulbs as compared to the incandescent bulbs we are all accustomed to using, which are now disappearing. I was finally told that these Xenon bulbs are approximately 20% brighter than the equivalent incandescent wattage. I therefore replaced the 240Watts of incandescent light with 180Watts of Xenon light and it is perfect. Also note that unlike halogen bulbs, Xenon bulbs may be touched by the installer without shortening the life of the bulb.

I saw this same lamp featured in Ballard's Design for more money. It was pretty easy to install, it's literally just a matter of wrapping the cord around the plastic spool as many times as you like, depending on how low you want the pendant to hang, and then screwing in the adapter to the recessed light fixture and using the screw over the plate to tighten it flush against the wall.

If I can do it, anyone can do it!

The only thing I would note is that Ballard's Design had a much greater selection of shades, including a very interesting shade made of cork, and another wicker one. Still, I can't complain about the price.

I was also surprised at how much light I now have over my kitchen sink. I suspect that much of the light being emitted from the sides of the bulb was lost in the recessed fixture, but now that it hangs a good 12 to 15 inches lower and is not within a recessed cavity, I have so much more light from the same watt bulb.

This product is easy to screw into the socket and tighten up the cord, but it does not remain tight to the ceiling. They look great in place though.

I got this to go into a can light over our sink that do much for light or appearance. This took about 15 minutes to install and most of that was just looking at the product, once I figured out what to do and thinking "is it really this easy??" it only took minutes to install. Looks great!

My only complaint is that it is a little tricky to get the mount flush against the ceiling as my light socket has some flex to it, so I figured out that I needed to pull down on the cord as I tightened the nut on the plate.

Nice product and great price.

This is a beautiful light and it takes a standard bulb and work with a standard dimmer. It was very easy to install. We have a slanted ceiling and the ceiling plate adapted to the slope no problem. It will work on any ceiling. My experience with this fixture has been very positive. I had tried to find a pendant conversion at both of the large home stores but they all called for this very low light Edison bulb & I needed more task lighting over my sink. I ordered this pendant & LOVE IT

This lamp is well made and nicely finished. It comes assembled except for attaching the shade, which has a ring that friction-fits around the socket. This arrangement works okay but is not very sturdy, so I would not put this lamp where it can get jostled. Shade is a light tan fabric. Each of the two fluted columns is surmounted by a small brass or maybe brass-plated sphere. The spheres are good-looking details, but are hidden by the shade. Cord is quite long.

Contrary to the manufacturer's Product Description, this lamp has only one socket. Because the lamp is so diminutive--only about a foot high--a standard A19 light bulb looks large in it, though it does fit. So I personally prefer to use a smaller A15 "decorative" bulb instead. Maximum wattage as stated on the socket is 60.

The published description seems to imply--it does not state outright--that the lamp is manufactured in the "northern Vermont hills," thus making the product sound more attractive. In actuality, while the company is in Vermont, the lamp itself is made in China. This in my view does not downgrade the product, but could be helpful information for someone who is looking for a domestically manufactured lamp.

I already liked the design from the front, and then I learned that the fixture has a five-inch-high perforated collar that illuminates it with a sunburst from behind (see photo at the bottom of listing). It looks wonderful with my new stainless steel mailbox and house numbers--and it doesn't look like every other light on the street. Excellent quality, comes with two glass diffusers, frosted white and cobalt. I'm well pleased with it.

I do love this light! What a great way to pull up in the driveway. The sunburst is obvious even when it is still light out. I am getting another for my back porch. Only down side...it's pretty bright.

Let me start by saying that I rarely ever take the time to write reviews because of my schedule, but I find them most helpful (and they are what I rely on most) when trying to select the right product.

I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about the quality of these lights because of the very reasonable price, but after reading all of the rave reviews on them I thought I'd give them a chance.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and beauty of these landscape lights!! Not only did they provide a beautiful, golden glow (I prefer this coloring vs. the bright blueish/white LED lighting), but they looked amazing with my front yard landscaping!! They were extremely easy to assemble I didn't even have to read the instruction manual. My front yard doesn't get constant sun only the latter part of the day but that is all these lights needed and they glow beautifully at night and provide just the right amount of lighting and truly look elegant!! I was afraid that since they would not get sunlight all day long that they wouldn't work properly at night since the manual stressed that they need constant exposure to sunlight. Well, I am happy to say that this is not the case. Purchase these lights and you will not be disappointed, trust me!! I have tried many other landscape lights and have been very unhappy with the quality and the lighting these are the absolute best landscape lights I've ever had the pleasure of purchasing by far!!

BEWARE!!! When I first got the lights, two did not work. Then two days later, seven more lights stopped working. Have contacted the seller multiple times for an address and a refund for the lights. But I have not heard back from the seller with an address to resolve this problem. I have had to file a claim with Amazon. BEWARE

attractive looking set but they just won't hold a charge, 5 of the 12 wouldn't hold a charge out of the box, bought higher quality rechargeable replacement batteries but within a few weeks those wouldn't hold a charge either, even the ones that worked didn't last all night, just trashed 7 after 5 months that are no longer working at all, my guess i sthe solar panels are just too small to adequately charge the batteries, and I live in Florida the SUNSHINE STATE, company support is non-existant, don't by these, nothing but trash

Honest reviews on Solar Power Belmont Path Light in Copper (Set of 12)

I've bought 48 of these lights in Nov/Dec,they look very pretty in the garden. Several lights stopped working after a week. When I opened the light to replace with NiMH battery, 21 of them were rusty inside. Of the 27 "good" ones 13 have rusty bulbs too. That means that after only 1 1/2 to 2 months I am left with only 14 still good lights. I've taken photos of the insides but do not know how to publish them with this review.

Bought 24 lights from Home Depot 4 years ago and all of them are still working! Just replaced some of the batteries. Forgotten what brand the lights were but the batteries are Malibu.

If you're not a fan of the glaring, bright white of most other solar LED lights, then look no further! The light is as pictured a subtle, warm glow, just the right amount of light to line a front garden or a walkway, and definitely more attractive than the standard bright white! We used these lights to line our front gardens, twelve lights were just the right amount. Also, the actual size of the lights is great; they are not so big that they detract from the flowers and shrubs, and not so small that they aren't noticeable just perfect!

TWO important notes about this fan. First of all, I love these we have two installed for residential use and they have exactly the modern/industrial look we were going for. Looks exactly like photos. Other reviewers have captured the good and the bad. Here are two observations that I didn't immediately find in other reviews:

1) 1970 called, and it wants its fan control back. SERIOUSLY. The fan control, aka the switch that makes the fan turn on and go 5 different speeds, is a throwback. It's like mounting a VW bus to the wall. Take a look at custom photos to see what I mean. NOTE: the good news is that others are available! Search Amazon for 'westinghouse fan control' for better options. HIGHLY recommend, for ease of install and appearance, that you go with one of these instead. But hey, maybe you miss the 70's and this is your ticket to disco, swinging, and blow. I'm not judging.

2) DO NOT install around children or in any situation where someone might hit their head. This is an industrial fan made of metal. Even at low speeds, it will hospitalize you, I'm quite sure. Careful.

Usually the more stylish, the higher the cost. This fan is a refreshing exception to that rule.

Looks great, easy to install.

It comes with a rather clunky, space-consuming wall-mounted remote. Because the switch governing the ceiling outlet in my place lives in a triple-wide switchplate, I bought an aftermarket ceiling fan control for $20 and installed it in the existing junction box.

I also cut 4 inches off the downrod, as it hung a little low in the room. This required drilling two new holes in the rod to slide the pin through, a minor operation.

Only glitch was that the thing wobbles some on the top speed. I tried switching the blades around in the head, and after two combinations it runs like a gem, with no vibration whatsoever. Highly recommended! I'm buying a second one for my office.

i just installed this fan and i am very satisfied with my purchase. 5 speed options and it's industrial looks are what swayed me into purchasing this ceiling fan. the control housing is pretty large (5"Hx3.25"Lx2.5"D), but has an old school westinghouse look about it. the instructions were pretty straight forward (except wiring the controller took a few extra minutes to figure out. the instructions showed 4 wires coming, but only 2 needed to be plugged in). overall, i'm very happy. quiet operation, nice looks and a cool breeze around the apartment!

Honest reviews on Westinghouse 7861400 Industrial 56-Inch Three-Blade Ceiling Fan

This fan is amazing. It was a breeze to put together and install. It looks amazing and functions well. I ended placing a dimmer on the switch board for different speeds because the one that is supplied is huge and bulky and unattractive. This was our only complaint since we have a mimimalistic decor on our townhouse. I would recommend this item to anyone looking for an inexpensive, modern, ultra-chic fan for any modern/contemporary decor.

This is actually a very elegant fan once installed. The product photo doesn't reflect this, but it has a very nice slender profile and sensible design. The color is actually a very reflective brushed metal finishedfrom a short distance it looks like chrome, so if you are into a retro modern look this does work acceptably. Unlike alot of modern fans that have blades made out of dissimilar materials and need superficial balancing, this fan has metal blades and seems very solid and well-balanced. It isn't quite as silent as some of the other fans in the houseit has a quiet "choppiness" and doesn't flush mount. It also has a large box that provides the multi-speed control with a somewhat vintage Westinghouse look to it. But in a world where modern looking fans without a gimmicky appearance start at $300...it is a gem. Overall, I love it.

I get migraine headaches, and fluorescent lights are one of my triggers. I rented a space that was very brightly lit with copious amounts of fluroescent lighting, and these shades have been the solution I needed. I could adjust the level of brightness by turning the sleeves, and was able to find a good compromise that worked without being blinding or aggravating my headaches. I had a guy put them on for me as the lights were pretty high up, though took him less than 10 minutes to put up 8 sleeves and adjust to a comfortable level. Highly recommended!

Hands down, we LOVE these lamps. I purchased 2 of these lamps for use on our nightstands in our bedroom. If you are considering purchasing the lamps, I recommend taking a tape measure and measuring where the lamp will go so that you have a visual. It is a little bit on the large size for a nightstand or small table. If you were going to place this on a console table, it's perfect, but for smaller tables, make sure that it's not too large for you. Also, I was concerned that based on the photo, the lamp would be quite gold. While there is a gold hue, it's not a yellow lamp. It's the perfect mix of silver/gold tones, beautiful mercury glass. I found that this was a really great lamp when comparing to other mercury glass lamps. Highly recommend!

This is a large wall lantern for the exterior of a home. The glass is very nice and is beveled. It can hold 3 lights, which gives you an idea of its size. The metal is somewhat thin, but is solid.

Installation is easy if you are replacing an existing fixture. Make sure the power is off with an electrical tester. You might have to flip a breaker. Then just attach the brass screw to the black wire. It's as easy as that.

Hope that helps

I bought this light to be the main source of light in my new bathroom. The new wall scones would provide the brighter light near the mirror. The Maxim light is diffused so it is not harsh for those times when you need to turn on the light when you use the bathroom in the middle of the night. You almost don't remember it's up there because it blends in with the ceiling. It was a good buy!

My living room has no lights in the ceiling, so I needed something for light. This lamp tucks under the sofa and when it's on bright, it lights up the whole area. I love that it can be dimmed as well! My brother has one, and it just turned on and off, so I assumed this one did too, since it was way cheaper than what he spent ($250) so it was a pleasant surprise. I got it within 3 days of ordering it, it came on Christmas eve, I thought I'd have to wait until after the holiday rush. Again, pleasantly suprised! All bulbs are still working, and lamp seems very durable. I'm very happy with the product and the company who sold it.

Fixture is nice for the price, but could be better. The main problem is that the bulb socket is very deep, meaning you will not be able to use this with anything but incandescent bulbs. Every CF bulb I tried does not screw in far enough to make contact. I am replacing a fixture in which I had screwed a dusk+4hr electronic base for a CF bulb, that will not fit either. Mounting hardware is only OK, could be better. Does not hold the fixture very tight to the wall due to poor design of the attachment point tiny round caps that cannot be tightened very much.
