Reviews of Philips 30207/17/48 Roomstylers Square Flushmount Ceiling Light

Customer Ratings:

Product looks nice.

But doesnt light up immediately.

It has a about a 5 second delay in lighting up.

Installation was a little different than usual.

But works.

Not really flushmounted.

It hangs down a little, so the light beams up towards the ceiling.

Kind of a nice feature, but not what I thought it would be like.

The lamp shade is a straight-sided, frosted-glass shade meant to be used on a standard lamp (hanging instead of standing upside down as the safety sticker inside indicates). In the product photo, the shade has a clear curve to it, to continue the curve of the wooden body of the lamp. That's the first departure from what's advertised here.

Second, in the product photo, the base appears to be turned from a single piece of dark-stained walnut, based on the continous grain. The actual lamp has at least six joined peices of wood, with at least three visible from any angle, and I'm fairly certain it's veneer given the overall weight.

The socket was off-center, and the retention ring provided to hold the shade in place is cheap plastic. The shade itself just sits on top of the lamp with no groove or lip to hold it in place. The retention ring is screwed down around outside of the socket, and clamps the shade in place. Since the socket is off center, the shade doesn't want to sit centered on top of the lamp.

That said, it looks OK sitting on my desk in my office, under a set of shelves attached to the wall. Just don't look too closely.

I think I could have bought the shade for $5-7, and the base (or something similar) for $15-20 if I just looked around. I'm completely at a loss to explain why this lamp sells for $100 (or more).

We have two of these lamps in addition to a floor lamp of the same design. These are beautiful products with solid wood finishes and real glass shades. Purchased desk lamp in May 2012. I has worked really well with no issues. Glass shade illuminates the room really well. Highly recommended.

Once installed and assuming that it lasts as advertised, I'd give it five stars. I used the LED fixture to replace one of two fluorescent fixtures (containing concentric 8" 32 watt and 12" 40 watt bulbs) in a long mudroom with no natural lighting. The lighting in the mud-room is cycled a hundred time a day, but each cycle lasts only fifteen to 60 seconds. This is murderous on fluorescent bulbs. I got tired of changing bulbs every six or seven months.

The LED fixture clearly outshines the fluorescents that it replaced. I chose the "daylight" color option which turns out to be 6500 degrees K. The "warm" color option (around 4000 degrees K) would have been a better and more "natural" choice indoors.

My fixture came with a one page installation sheet written in broken English but it was clear enough to understand. I made a mounting template from the cardboard box that Amazon shipped it in. Basically you need three mounting holes comprising an equilateral triangle measuring 23 cm on each side. The electrical leads were labeled and the installation sheet said 'label "L" for live, "N" for neutral, "GRD" for ground wire'. Well, my ground wire was label "E", but we get the gist. Also, the circuit board clearly shows where the live (or hot), neutral and ground wires connect to the board. The three wires are co-mingled in more insulation creating a stiff cord. I split off the cord insulation freeing each wire so that they easily connected to the house wiring inside my existing junction box.

Conceptually, one mounts the unit by passing the screws and the screw driver through holes in the circuit board, the screws through the unit's base, and into anchors in the ceiling. This cannot possibly work. Firstly, aligning the unit with the anchors in ceiling is not possible (at least for me). Secondly, the length of a screw is shorter than the depth of the unit, so one would have to balance the screw on the driver as he passes it through the circuit board and the base on it way the anchor! A magnetized screw driver won't help because the screws are aluminum.

This is what I did: I pre-drilled the anchor holes in the ceiling using my template. Back on terra firma, I stuck some museum (aka earthquake) wax on the tip of my screw driver to hold the screws as I fed them through the unit. I gave each screw about two turns to mate it to its anchor. Then, I returned to the ceiling, connected the wiring, then pushed each anchor into its hole, then tightened each screw. Done.

And yes, I order another unit to replace the other fixture once those bulbs burn out!

The light was great, though a little too white for my kitchen. I was happy with this light until a few days ago, when it started to flicker. Now it doesn't work at all. I was about to order a bunch more for other spots in my apartment, at least it happened before I did.

UPDATE 20 December 2012

Fortunately, Lighting EVER offers a 2 year warranty on this product. I contacted the company three days ago, and they responded by email, asking me for the order number. I gave it to them, and got no further response. Today I called them to follow up and they told me that I had to request a return through Amazon. When I found out from Amazon that this was not true, I called Lighting EVER back and read them my order number again. Their rep said he'd contact the order fulfillment team and send me a replacement. Hopefully I will receive a replacement promptly, but so far I am not impressed.

UPDATE 15 January 2013

Having heard nothing since my last phone call, I called again and their rep again said they'd get in touch with the order fulfillment team to send me a replacement. He promised I'd hear back from him tomorrow.

UPDATE 25 May 2013

I gave up on getting a refund, bought a new light from elsewhere, and contacted the better business bureau a few months ago. They closed out the review with no response from Lighting EVER. Now the bbb called me back, saying Lighting EVER has finally responded, but that they claimed there was no record of having interacted with me at all.

I would never buy a product from Lighting EVER again.

Best Deals for Lighting EVER 26 Watt Flush Mount LED Ceiling Light Fixture, 50W

This is one bright light! If you need more light, you will not be disappointed. I assure you.

The light spectrum is still a little whitish, but this is for a walk in closet, so it is acceptable.

Initially, I did not figure out how to remove the cover to see the mounting points. I cannot find the information online or on it's manual. I forced it open, then found that it is supposed to be turned to open (the outer cover).

The mounting is the most tricky. It does not mount to my existing mounting strip from the old Halogen lamp. There are 3 mounting holes for bolting into the ceiling. Marking the holes are close to impossible and there is no template. I ended up drilling one hole and fixing the fixture before drilling the other 2 holes. The whole thing is very light so one screw is enough to hold it in place temporarily.

Overall, I am happy with it. The closet is a closed space and while the old Halogen gave plenty of light, it got very hot and dangerous if left on. I am more at ease with this light. It brighten up the whole space with a quarter of the wattage. Highly recommended.

Honest reviews on Lighting EVER 26 Watt Flush Mount LED Ceiling Light Fixture, 50W

I was concerned about the brighness of the fixtures as compared to the previous 52w double circuline fixtures they were replacing. I have had experience in the past where the claim of "xx watt equivallent" was greatly exagerated. The application I had was a room with two ceiling fixtures. I replaced one of the existing flourescent fixtures with this led and compared the two. As expected the LED was much brigher upon initially turning on the lights (while the flourescent warmed up), but even after several minutes the LED fixture was still noticeably brighter.

Another concern I had was the "spotlight effect" you sometimes get from LEDs. I wanted the light to be spread across the room, not just directed to the floor below the light. The fixture broadcasts the light to the sides very well.

Lastly, there were some written comments by others concerning the difficulty mounting. They have a small point here, but the challenges are easily overcome by not using the mounting hardware provided. It only took me about 10 minutes to remove the one fixture and mount the new one. Some tips are:

1) use a sharp pencil and mark the 3 holes' positions on the ceiling directly wile someone else helps hold the fixture against the ceiling where you want it

2) use a good wall/ceiling anchor. I like the type that actually screw into the drywall/plaster. If you make a small pilot hole for these anchors you can be very accurate on their placement.

3) use longer screws than that provided. Use screws that are 1.5" or longer and you won't have any problem holding and driving the screw through the circuit/led board into the anchor. In addition, a magnetic tip screw driver or drill driver also helps.

Last note that may be of interest to some. The location the wire passes through the fixture back for connection in the electrical junction box is not centered on the fixture. Therefore, the light fixture will have to be off center of the box by a couple inches to avoid pinching the wire between the fixture and the ceiling. This was a minor issue in my case, but a small amount of the ceiling where the old fixture had covered I will have to touch up with ceiling paint.

I found it quite difficult to install. I tried this three times. The following is a description of the last, and most successful, installation.

Some comments. The screw anchors provided are not good. Indeed they complicate the matter; they are too flimsy and so wind up going right into the sheetrock, which is not what you want.

So I used some standard anchors instead. I used anchors size #6-8 (length 7/8", drill size 3/16"). These seem to work pretty well.

Your one friend here is that the fitting is very light; without the diffuser it is a little over one lb.

1. CREATE A TEMPLATE TO INSTALL THE ANCHORS. I used tracing paper. Any paper probably will do. Place the paper on a table. Put the fitting LED side up on the paper. Carefully mark the paper with the holes in the fitting.

2. TRANSFER THE TEMPLATE TO THE CEILING WHEREVER YOU WANT TO PUT IT. I just taped it to the ceiling.

3. TRANSFER AND INSTALL THE ANCHORS FROM THE TEMPLATE TO THE CEILING. I simply drilled through the template. You want to make sure that this is accurately done (you can check by holding the fitting to the ceiling and checking, of course).

4. CONNECT THE FITTING TO THE CEILING POWER. I severely cut back the wiring from the fitting, since, out of the box, there is a lot of this, which may not be helpful.

5. Holding the fitting against the ceiling, screw the screws through the fitting into the pre-placed anchors. This step is quite hard because the screws provided are very short.

The canopy (the part that touches the ceiling) is not bell shaped.

It is flat. Only about 1 inch deep.

I bought this because it showed a deep canopy that would fit the fixtures in my victorian dining room.

The company replied but was unable to do anything about it. Nor did they change the misleading picture.

I now will have to order a new canopy from a restoration fixture site and hope I can match the color and style.

I reviewed this when it first arrived and the review was never posted.

Very disappointed.

Even after reading the reviews on how small the lamp was, I still was shocked on how small it actually (or maybe the word is tiny) the lamp is. I guess if you do not want to draw attention to your lamp post this product works (which is somewhat of what I wanted), but again the lamp is thin and small. I do like the fact that light automatically turns off in the daylight and on at night, which keeps me from always trying to remember to turn it on before I leave.

Three issues to be aware of:

1. No way to test photocell. Covering it does not work. You just need to wait for it to get dark.

2. The included bulb is a 2-pin bulb, not a screw in.

3. The glass is supposed to be sealed with silicone sealant (not supplied).

Reviews of Good Earth Lighting H4019-BN-LIN-I Valencia 19-Inch Flush Trim

Customer Ratings:

I was looking for a flush mount light that was modern yet understated. This worked out and fits nicely in my master bedroom. The linen shade is ivory colored and neutral. It doesn't look cheap at all and the brushed nickel is chic.

Only complaint is that it was a total pain to install. It was very difficult to line up the screws into the ceiling. You could probably save yourself some time by using longer screws and ditch the ones that come with it.

Make sure you bring lots of patience when it comes time to install this light. Oh, and strong arms too!

Looks great but instructions are not clear (only pictures, no words). If someone had never done this before it would probably have taken them several hours. I've installed lighting before, and it took me an hour, with the help of my wife. Definitely a 2 person job! We bought this to replace a black wrought iron chandelier since we renovated the kitchen. The metal looks great with our stainless/white kitchen. Also provides lots of light for the large room that it's in (although that might be because of the light bulbs). Very pleased!

We bought this fixture to replace a working fixture that was "out of date and style" in our kitchen eating area.

This chandelier is modern, modern, modern.

It provides so much light that we had to use smaller wattage bulbs because it was so bright.

It is really beautiful.
