This fixture uses the long thin T10 light bulb. If you wonder what a T10 light bulb is just search Amazon.com with T10 Light Bulb in your search window and you will see pictures of long thin hotdog shaped bulbs. When I was young these bulbs were primarily used in refrigerators and other home appliances of the day. The T10 bulb despite its shape does not put out much light compared to the average CFL. The light from two T10 bulbs might be adequate for people who just need to see there way through the hallway or room. The two T10 bulb's used by this Minka-Lavery Opal Glass 13 1/2" High Wall Sconce is in a word adequate for the most basic use but it is not a high powered light source. The Minka-Lavery Opal Glass 13 1/2" High Wall Sconce is meant more as accent lighting not task lighting. In a bathroom application this Minka-Lavery Opal Glass 13 1/2" High Wall Sconce is not suitable for shaving unless you are rather adventurous or have very young \ very good eyesight. If this were the sole source of light in your bathroom I'd be worried since this light is best used for setting a mood not setting things straight. If you use this light in a bathroom or any situation where things must be seen then make sure it is augmented by strong overhead light sources that provide ample task oriented lighting. The Minka-Lavery Opal Glass 13 1/2" High Wall Sconce offers the kind of soft light you want in a hallway when you don't need a powerful bright light that might disturb lite sleepers.

The Minka-Lavery Opal Glass 13 1/2" High Wall Sconce is very well made of solid metal that is well machined. There are no rough edges or areas of cheap or shoddy workmanship observed on my specimen of this light. The wires on this light are thick meaning they can carry higher voltage and amps needed by two 100 watt max bulbs. The Minka-Lavery Opal Glass 13 1/2" High Wall Sconce is shown in its vertical configuration but can be easily mounted in a horizontal configuration without any modification beyond changing the install axis from vertical to horizontal. The glass shade is of fine quality thick well made without bubbles or distortions that weaken the glass. The frosting on the glass shade covers the entire surface in a uniform manner. The lamp is heavy not thin and flimsy. Properly used the clean lines and minimalist form of this Minka-Lavery Opal Glass 13 1/2" High Wall Sconce will add a distinctive modern charm to any room or hallway. The quality build of this Minka-Lavery Opal Glass 13 1/2" High Wall Sconce will ensure this light will serve you well till you just get tired of seeing it many years from now.

The quality of the light is exceptional, very close in color to an incandescent soft white bulb. I've had this running in a torchiere lamp at the 20 watt setting for several hours and it was never warmer than uncomfortable to the touch. The light distribution is very much omnidirectional, and it should provide no dead spots if used in place of the equivalent incandescent lamp. I'll report back in a few months and let you know how it ages.

Most wonderful, well worth the extra money! I highly recommend it. It is not a light weight bulb, needs a sturdy lamp! Love it!

Best Deals for SWITCH Lighting A23WYIFUS27A4-R Classic A21 LED Light Bulb

I have purchased many different LED bulbs over the past 3 years or so. While I am admittedly a bt of an LED addict I also think I've gained some knowledge and experience through trial and error. Until this bulb I've been unable to find a 3 way bulb. Yes there are LED bulbs that will work on a dimmer, but no other 3 ways.

This bulb is pricey but magnificent. The fact that it's a 3 way is very convenient. The color is pleasing, brightness is appropriate at each level with plenty of light at its highest setting. I see these are out of stock and and am hoping they didn't give up on manufacturing 3 ways!

This is not the first time I have purchased one of these reflectors. They are very well built, and with the 6" size it's easy to move enough air to keep the bulb heat away from your plants. These are versatile as they can be used either horizontal or vertical. I would highly recommend this fixture to anyone who wants a compact glass tube type reflector.

Bought three of these lights because it seemed like a great improvement over the heavy metal reflectors I had been using. This is a case , I think, of having a great product-almost. It is light (pun intended) and compact, which makes it great for small spaces. Here's the hang up, It's the hang up cable. They really took off their thinking caps when they came up with the cable and crimp system that's on their. It feeds through the metal collar so can't be removed without cutting the cable which I wouldn't advise as it probably voids your warranty. So, here we are with cables that hang the light a minimum of 8" below whatever you are hanging from. Add a few for a pulley to raise and lower your light and whatever size pot you are using. I don't know about you but that doesn't leave me with all that much free air space for dangling. Don't get me wrong, I like the cooltubes themselves! Ok, OK, there is just one other thing that isn't even really a problem for me but could be for you. It's the collars themselves. the one on the socket side has the socket mounting bolt heads through the collar. The light plug comes out on that collar also so, it is obvious they did not intend you to attach to that end. That's fine if you are pulling air from the room to the outside to cool the room but, and here's where the caps came off again, what if you want to pull outside air in, cool the light and send it back out. All they had to do was give a little more length to the collar on that end. They could use the extra metal they saved on the shorter hangers!

My wife and I bought this from the picture and crossed our fingers. It was even better than the picture which is usually not the case. Rich in quality, and more beauiful than any we saw in stores in the Nashville area.

These are very good quality lamps. They are so pretty! I highly recommend these lamps to anyone in the market for a good quality lamp. The lamp shade is very pretty too and has a subtle design in the fabric. My husband loves them too. He has an eye for art and beauty, so that is high praise. Enjoy!

Ordered the lamp and the floor and both are absolutely gorgeous!!! I highly recommend them, exactly what I had been looking for, and even the high end stores did not carry such beauties as these.. Many compliments and they work GREAT!

Honest reviews on Lite Source "Savoir Faire" Table Lamp

I purchased this lamp and the matching floor lamp. They were easy to assemble and are a nice heavy weight. The lamps are quite beautiful as are the shades. There really is not much more to say. They are lamps and do what they are supposed to do. Even though I looked at the measurements prior to purchasing I was some what surprised at how short they both were compared to the lamps they were replacing but after having them for about a month I have gotten used to that. I didn't give them 5 stars because I feel the price was a bit higher than it should have been.

I am so happy to get this, although I did not get in time for my cousin's Wedding last month. This came afterwards, by a week later. :)

I checked it out, and it is beautiful, more than I expected. I sort of like to keep it myself. LOL, LOL. My Cousins, the Newlyweds are aware that there is another gift coming for them from me. They will love it. They just bought a house, and it will be a perfect gift for them. I can hardly wait to see them open it up and see their reaction. :)

Thank you for having this on Amazon. The Neon Coors lights are too hard to find, I know I looked around, until I went nuts. One of my cousin's suggested to see if it may be on Amazon and sure enough, there it was. Coor's light.

Thank you Amazon for having this on your Website.

Casablanca Four Seasons III - Outsider 52" 5 Blade Indoor / Outdoor Reviews

Casablanca Four Seasons III - Outsider 52' 5 Blade Indoor / Outdoor Ceiling Fan - Blades Included, Snow White
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

Casablanca 83U11D Four Seasons III Outsider Ceiling Fan

Although suitable for an outdoor (damp) installation, this fan can be mounted inside, which is what we did. The screws and other hardware are stainless steel and the fan blades are white ABS plastic with an embossed wood-grain. The blades are the same on both sides, but for some reason, "this side up" is printed on one side. There are no openings on the top of the fan motor, which presumably means it could withstand some amount of direct rain...

If my Customer Image doesn't show, choose Snow White for it to appear my installation includes a Casablanca 36" down-rod (PL1136) and K4K-11 lamp kit. That lamp kit is not for a damp location.

The 83U11D fan comes with two pull chain switches. One controls fan speed (off, low, medium, high). The other is the blade reversing switch (clockwise or counter-clockwise). The optional K4K-11 lamp, which requires candelabra bulbs, adds a pull chain & switch for the lamp. Inexpensive lamp-chain extensions are typically available at Lowes, Home Depot, or any hardware store, in their lamp department. An optional remote control (called the Adapt Touch) is available at extra cost. In our case, with the 3' down-rod, the bottom of the lamps are 9' 6" off the floor in a room with a 14' high cathedral ceiling. Since this was a newly constructed room, I wired the fan-box in the ceiling with 14/3 NM cable, which allowed for one wall switch for the fan and another for the fan lamps. We didn't want a remote.

I first bought a [more costly] Hampton Bay model for that room, but returned it to Home Depot before completing the installation. After that experience, I appreciated the clever ceiling mounting hardware of the Casablanca. Hampton Bay fans require the fan ceiling box to be perfectly flush with the surrounding surface (e.g., drywall). If that box is recessed or pokes out, by even 1/16", you have to shim or otherwise modify the Hampton Bay fan holder bracket, on one or both sides; or the canopy cover won't be flush against the ceiling. The Casablanca hardware, by contrast, includes a bracket that mounts flush against the drywall resulting in the canopy always being flat against the ceiling, by design; with no extra effort on your part. Simplicity itself.

This Casablanca is not particularly heavy for a ceiling fan; only 22 pounds with the lamp. Even at that weight, you MUST mount it to a ceiling electrical box that is fan-rated at 50 pounds or more. Mounting any fan to a plastic ceiling box won't work, as the support screws will simply pull out over time due to the lamp weight. Even a standard steel box is a disaster waiting to happen. I.e., the fan could fall to the floor, or worse, land on someone.

Any ceiling fan can have an out-of-balance wobble on the higher speeds, and doubly so if it's on a long down-rod. The bottom of the lamps on this fan oscillated by about 1/8" on high speed. Not too bad, but it was noticeable if you watched it for long. Fortunately, Casablanca provides a "dynamic balancing" kit with instructions on how to resolve a wobble. Step by step instructions are provided, for finding which blade, and where on that blade, a weight is needed. Weights are provided. I was skeptical, but it worked the wobble is gone.

At the lowest speed, the fan creates a very gentle breeze. At the mid-speed, you can definitely feel the breeze, and on a hot day, you'll feel cooler. High speed puts out significant air volume, which is way too much if you're in its path.. Turn the fan off from high speed, and it takes 100 seconds for the blades to come to a complete stop.

The fan industry has standardized on 3/4 inside diameter steel pipe (same size used for natural gas lines in some houses) for down rods. Of course, the rods are polished and finished to the fan color. Unfortunately, the industry hasn't standardized on how the bottom of the down rod attaches to the fan motor assembly, or how the top connects. The better designs, used by Casablanca and others, use a threaded rod screwed into a heavy receiving bracket on top of the motor assembly, with a lock screw to prevent the rod from unscrewing an approach that has the motor rigidly fixed at a right angle to the pipe (down-rod), i.e., parallel to the floor. Other brands, such as the Hampton Bay, use a pin through the bracket and pipe, which allows the motor to pivot slightly a clearly inferior design, since the fan may not stay level.

The motor and lamp wires are sufficiently long to use a down-rod of up to six feet. Simply cut the wires to the length you need.

This Casablanca product demonstrates a well-thought-out design, refined over decades of fan building experience. It's easy to install, is silent on low speed, and has a lifetime warranty on the motor (one year on finish, component parts, accessories, and electronics). The whooshing of air is heard on the higher speeds, but the motor is silent. There's even a 120-day in-home service warranty if something goes wrong, although if properly installed, it's unlikely you'd need that.

Do not buy this model fan. It is comprable to a Hampton Bay at half the cost. It may have the Casablanca name but that's it. It makes noise, ratles, and humms right out of the box new. I feel as though I was ripped off.
