I purchased one of these about 6 months ago on a closeout sale from a local Fortunoffs store. It was good at first, with the exception that there is a lot of glare from the sides because the LED's are not recessed far enough. Other than that it ran cool and provided ample light for my needs. The length of the goose neck was not a problem and it supported the head well at a variety of angles without sagging. The problem is that it lasted less than 100 hours. The LED's began failing one row of 4 at a time till now only 1 LED flickers when you turn it on, the remaining 19 are off. Just before posting this review, I sent an e-mail to Adesso to see what they can do about it. Had it not failed, I would have given it 4 stars (I deduct 1 star for the side glare problem).

Here is the follow up:

This is a follow up to the review I wrote a few days ago. I just spoke to Kavita Bora, who is a customer service manager for Adesso, Inc. about my "eternity" lamp lasting less than 100 hours. Her response was that they offer no warranty on their items to the end user at all. There is no warranty registration card that comes with the item for this reason. She admitted that they often receive defective merchandise from their manufacturer in China and they only do returns to the retailers they do business with. The customers only recourse is through the retailer they purchaed the item from, the manufacturer, Adesso, Inc. will not stand behind the product at all. I cannot recommend anyone buy this product, or any other Adesso, Inc. product for this reason. I would like to lower my rating from 2 stars to 1 star, but I can't figure out how to do that.

I have to agree with the previous review. This was a great lamp for the first month that I had it. However, a single row of LEDs has begun to flicker and after reading the previous review, I am aware of what is to come. I cannot recommend this for anyone, especially for this price!

An attractive and functional lamp that I bought on sale from Levenger dot com. Within a few months, unfortunately, the LEDs began to fail one by one. Then the diffuser fell out of the fixture. In sum, a sleek design that could (and should) have been better than it is. Appears to simply be an example of surprisingly poor execution. Avoid.

If you have need of light in a focused area that won't disturb those around you, this is it. I didn't realize that limitation when I purchased it. If you need more light than that, get one of their gooseneck floorlamps I also have that and love it.

Another unhappy user. Really like the lamp, but the rows of LED's started to flicker after a few months, and now 50% of them have stopped working and the remaining ones flicker so much that impossible to use for reading. Seller says bulbs are not covered by warranty which may be fine for an ordinary lamp but ridiculous for an LED lamp as no easy way to replace them!!!

Avoid unless you want to pay $10/month for a reading light which is what I calculated mine ended up costing me.

Overall system works great, was easily installed and I have not had a problem in the first 30 days. For landscaping and trees / bushes, the light works well. I am using the lights to illuminate our flag during the night and the only thing that would make these better would be a brighter light. Overall a very easy system that worked perfectly right out of the box.

I'm an electrical contractor. When asked, this is the only light I will recommend. If I have to supply undercabinet lights this is the only brand I will use. The light burns 50% cooler than Halogen, is dimmable via an wall switch or you have the switch on the fixture that has a "High low & off" I never get call backs on these and I cant remember one of these ever failing.

And yes, I have these in my kitchen office and laundry room.

The light itself is a perfect glow. The installation is straightforward. The big drawback is attaching the light diffusing lens back in place. The lens is designed to attach to the light by hooking the front end of the lens to the body first and "popping" the lens onto the body. For some reason, the light frame's dimension changes once mounted to the cabinet. This ever so slight change in frame size prevents the lens cap staying in place. It makes the task of putting the lens cap on a nightmare.

To get this to work, I had to place VERY small washers in the back of the light interior. This made the interior dimensions ~1/16" smaller. This difference made the lens stay in place once assembled. Even with the modifications, the lens does not "pop" in place. The front edge HAS to be depressed into the retaining lip last. This is backwards from the directions and is not easy.

All in all, the lights look nice. The price was right and with some modifications they are fully functional. Would I buy this model again? Doubtful.

Product was purchased 3 years and 2 months ago and was installed by licensed electrician. When one stopped working, i determined that the transformer (functions similarly to the ballast in florescent lights) had failed. An internet search revealed that this is not an uncommon problem for these lights. Don't even try to find the transformer at electrical supply centers because i wasted a morning trying to do so. I called Kichler customer service and the service courteously informed me that they do not sell replacement parts for their under-cabinet lights and my only option was to purchase a replacement given that the two year warranty had expired. So after 3 years, my Kichler lights are disposable; very disappointing.

Honest reviews on Kichler 10581WH 22-1/2-Inch Under Cabinet Light

In the spring of 2006 I renovated my kitchen. I chose Kichler 10581 series for my under cabinet/over counter top lights. I have eight of them, five large (roughly 30 inches), three small (roughly 12 inches). In the last two years I have had to replace four lights, three large, one small. My most recent replacement failed after less than 6 months use. Not one light bulb was bad. My contractor, who recommended Kichler and advised me to contact Kichler. He told me the problem has to be the transformers.

I am really unhappy. I emailed Kicher to ask for an explanation for this abysmal performance. No one responded

The light is well made although it requires to be hard wired or convereted as there is no plug.

The lens cover is difficult to remove when replacing bulbs. It needs more strength than some people may have to unsnap it.

Reviews of Lithonia LED Outdoor Security Floodlight with Dusk to Dawn Light

Customer Ratings:

Two out of three floodlights that I purchased work as intended. However, they do not seem to have a light sensor, so they turn on both during the day and at night. The intensity output is decent, but the "pure white" color can be annoying if used for an extended period of time.

Instead of the built-in LED, an alternative "green" option is to get a regular, much cheaper floodlight, and install PAR30 LED bulbs. Same energy consumption, more features (see above), and if anything goes wrong with the bulb, it is easy to replace.

Before I bought these 4, I already had installed one of these lights at my home so I already knew the quality of the light is outstanding. You cant go wrong with this LED. The one at my house has been up for about 6 months and provides great light. Great seller..would buy from again."

UPDATE 5/29/12. Of the 4 I bought, two are dead. One never worked and the other one stopped working within 2 weeks. Motion light would work but LED's were barely visible, like they were burnt out. Sent back to seller, he received package on 5/21/12 and I have not received an email or refund??

Bought a LED setup at Costco for $60 then went back for another after trying it out. Gives lots of light output for LED's, but like alot of things at Costco, once you need another, they're never there. Searched for months until I gave in and paid the $100 for this light. Then no sooner did it show up that Costco is now re-stocking the same Lithonia LED for $60 again. I'm a retired electrician, so take it from me, you want LED technology, forget the Par 40 floodlights or fragile halogen lamp types, go LED whenever possible to save both electricity and energy re-lamping later on.

I like the fact that the bulb will last for so long and also when the power is on during the day it knows not to turn on, so it only comes on at night. Also the light coming from it is wonderful.

This chandelier is a great piece for our dining room which has a standard height ceiling. We have glass door at one end of our dining room and this chandelier doesn't obstruct the view as much as some others would have. I thought I wanted a chandelier with down lights but this gives more than enough light. It was easy enough to install also. The box was crushed a little at one end when it was delivered but the packaging was so good the chandelier was not damaged at all.

I was looking for an inexpensive light in brushed nickel to hang over my dining room table. This fit the bill. If I planned to stay in this house for a number of years, I would have stepped up and bought something nicer. However, this one will do, and I won't feel bad to leave it when I sell the house.

I bought 2 of these lamps for our bedroom nightstands , and was expecting to put a small 15 watt (60 watt equivalent) SMALL based CFC bulb in them so I could read, but all that fits is a tiny small based night light. So I changed the lamp harps to a slightly taller one, but the finial didn't fit, it was loose. I added some teflon tape, and the finial fit great. The workmanship and colors on the lampshade is beautiful and even prettier than the picture, but the lamp harp needs to be a little taller. Overall, now that I added the lamp harps, I love them.

It states that the lamp has a 15 inch assembled height. It is a little under 13 inches in height, which includes the little ornamental "fob" on top which screws onto the shade. The product was well packaged and arrived undamaged. When lit, the major colors shown are gold, (not orange as described)brown and green. I do wish they had been as tall as described, but will keep them regardless.

The bracket that extends up from the lamp to form a base to hold the shade (the harp) is too low. You can put a bulb in it, but the top of the bulb will be off to the side of the harp. It should fit under it, and it is not good to be putting stress on the bulb holder by bending it off to the side. You'll need to take a pliers and unscrew the nut and washer and move them higher on the threaded bolt so that the shade will rest higher to accommodate the bulb. Lamp base and shade are very pretty.

It's just what I was looking for...but I agree with an earlier reviewer, need to either ship a bulb with this or give examples of what works best because I had to futz with the shade stand to get the bulb I bought to fit...otherwise it's a beautiful addition to my work desk!

I have owned the SL4 version of this light and had to replace it after years of hard service. This light is as sturdy as my SL4 with the same quality rotating switch that is easy to use in thick gloves. The bright beam of the SL6 is nice and tight with just enough bleed-over to keep everything orientated. I use it for hunting crevasses and cracks for abs, lings and rockfish off Nor Cal. Great introductory light or for shallow diving. I wouldn't recommend this light as a primary cave or wreak light but for general diving it's all you need and then some.

I can't believe I'd be buying a ceiling fan off Amazon! I looked in every home-improvement store and then online fan stores and finally found exactly what I wanted here! I was looking for light-colored blades and everywhere I went they just sold dark blades (just like all the furniture is going 'dark' now). I wanted satin nickel to match all my other fixtures and that was also hard to find combined with the light blades. I didn't want a domed light like so many fans have, I need several lights to point in different directions. I needed a reversible-direction motor.

This one fit all my criteria for $88! It arrived very-well packaged (more intricate than an Apple product!) The manual actually made sense! Installation went smoothly, but it did take two people on ladders. I have been running it daily for over a month (in reverse mode to push heat down from the ceiling while the woodstove is burning) and it is VERY quiet. I bought the correct remote (Savoy RMT001) which was installed with the fan, and it dims the lights nicely and changes the speed of the fan without using the silly (but pretty) pull-chains.

I am very pleased with this product.
