The light was delivered quickly. One end was bent but we were able to straighten it out. It is a beautiful light. The globes are tall enough to hide the bulb, so I use the corkscrew energy saving bulbs, instead of the short vanity bulbs.

This was a quick easy transaction. It occurred to me that my beloved Reveal bulbs might become hard to buy and I truly detest the light from CFL bulbs. I am also in pursuit of 100 watt bulbs.

GE, Sylvania-Osram, Philips... of all the major bulb manufacturing companies, I've never been too particular because they all function the same provide light. If you would come to my house, you'd see bulbs from all 3 different manufacturers. However in this instance, I purchased these bulbs because:

1) Incandescents are now banned and becoming harder to find.

2) CFLs, despite energy efficient, are roughly 400% 800% more per bulb than incandescents

3) The most important, my wife wanted all the bulbs to match in each room. (Because of the price of CFL, I can't afford to spend over $400 to make all the bulbs in my house match.)

When I came across this item on Amazon (the 48-pack), I did my match calculations and saw that these bulbs came down to exactly $1 each. If you buy a 4-pack from Amazon, such as GE 48689 75-Watt A19 Reveal Bulbs, 4-Pack, you're paying $6.98, or $1.75 per bulb. So I saved 75 cents per bulb by buying this in bulk. But I'm questioning if I made the right choice...

You see, when I received my bulbs from Amazon, they came in a box with all 48-bulbs in individual 4-packs tightly fitted to the box. However, there was no padding whatsoever and the box seems to have been slightly abused by the carrier. I already gave a poor review on Amazon's shipping for this particular item but I'm not docking any stars because what I'm reviewing here is the bulbs themselves. But I can't help to think that the impact of the box moving around via the carrier has somehow related to the fact that I received bad bulbs. Yes, I've had bad bulbs already.

I immediately removed 2 4-packs and used 8 bulbs throughout my house to replace the current lighting. 2 of the 8 bulbs were bad the filament was somehow dislodged and you could hear the filament move around in the bulb when you shake the bulb. Furthermore, I know these bulbs were bad because in the case of frosted bulbs (which is just a powder-like coating, I saw the filament remove the coating on the inside as it moved around (looks like an Etch-A-Sketch). So because of this, I'm already down by $2. Again, I'm not docking the review, but just letting you know that 2 of my 8 bulbs tested so far are bad. Makes you wonder how many others are bad too in the box I haven't tested...

Anyway, the bulb itself when lit, is less warm than the standard incandescent light bulbs. I know the Neodymium coating on the inside is supposed to filter the natural yellow color of incandescent lights and it does filter it out to a degree, but not completely. Comparing two bulbs side-by-side, incandescents typically have a color temperature of 2700K to 3000K. Despite my bulbs being advertised as "full spectrum", I don't think they are. I have full-spectrum CFLs and those bulbs look snow white. These GE Reveals appear to be about 3200K 3500K. That range is still yellow and to remove the yellowness without going blue, you have to hover around 4000K.

If you prefer incandescents, I can recommend the Reveal bulbs & they are probably as close as you'll get to "white lights" before you start using CFLs & other lighting technologies.

This item is advertised as a replacement for MOST 500 watt worklights, but it is NOT a direct replacement for a Utilitech, WL500HSp. The big problem is that the bracket holes are not in the same locations. However, by disassembling both old and new sockets, and utilizing the old bracket, and some hardware from each, you can get it back together and install it. The wire in this new unit is smaller gauge, and is not covered by fiberglass insulation, and the nuts/bolts in the new unit are smaller than the old. It took 2 hrs to do what should have been a 20 minute repair.

This item arrived undamaged, was easy to install, puts out a fair amount of light and looks good up close. There is technically nothing wrong with it. But...

It is listed as being 21" wide. Hanging it looks very small so I measured it and 21" seems like a stretch. Either way, the delicate appearance makes it look smaller and in my opinion just blah. Your eye kind of wants to look past it.

Had I seen this in a store I would have passed.

I did a lot of searching for a chandelier to hang over my primitive plank top dining table. It is 3' x 5'. Thanks to others reviews, I picked this one and it was right on the mark! The shipping was very fast too and well packed. I would recommend this fixture. It came with plenty of chain and wire to hang from a 12' ceiling.

Good quality, nice clean design. This made a huge impact on the overall feel of the room. Not very busy, so if you looking for something elegant, yet simple, this is a good choice.

My only negative aspect of this was the chain link adjustment. Sure I can open the link with pliers and close it back up, but you can aslo chip the finish on the links. Maybe they could supply one master link type link. I know ideally you only set it up once, but incase you had to move it up or down at times, you would have a fairly simple option.

I'm happy with it.

I Love the way this looks hanging under my balcony over my new patio. It adds the right atmosphere to the area that I was looking for. It was a little complicated to hang and has plenty of extra chain and wire. Way more then I needed. I have yet to see how it performs in the weather. Only time will tell.

After some comparing of various retailers, e-tailers, end ebay offers, I went ahead and bought this one. Arrived quickly, looks really great, and was fairly easy to assemble/install.

I was able to put it up on my own, but I would recommend having a second person helping to hold the fixture while you connect the wires and tighten the nut.

The glass globes look nice, compared to a cheaper fake alabaster fixture I purchased for another bathroom. They point down which I like more light where you need it. Compared to the cheapo 6-8 bulb standard fixtures that mostly blind you. The room will seem a bit darker overall, directional lighting at its finest.

I installed 4 Toshiba 7W 3500K LED bulbs in the fixture, nice neutral, flicker-free, instant on light.

Of course you need to see if the style fits with the rest of your bathroom design. If it does, this fixture is a great choice.

We purchased our first home two years ago and had minor cosmetic details to address immediately to feel at peace with our 'fixer.' Among these details were replacing every last lighting firxture in the dated home and what an improvement that small enhancement made! This fixture gave our guest bathroom a very expensive look on our 'just-gave-all-my-money-to-my-downpayment' budget. The actual look is so much better than the picture. It really doesn't look like there is a great circle in the middle of the bar of lights. Remember, you'll be looking up at this piece and while I hesitated at first, I decided I couldn't loose with this since it was only going in our guest bathroom and am so, so pleased with how it looks. The fixture doesn't give you much space between the lights and the wall, so if you have a framed mirror in your bathroom, the lights will have to hang above it. We tore down the cheap mirror that came with the house and bought a much nicer framed one the same size at HomeGoods, but had to return the first one we bought because it was too large and the frame couldn't fit under the lights. The smaller mirror paired with the fixture actaully looks perfect. For us, all the fixtures we bought through Royce lighting and Amazon.com were budget friendly and look much more expensive than they actually were.

This light fixture is very well made and installed easily. The attention to detail is greatly appreciated. It is wired very nicely and the wires are all covered in a nice sleeve that fits over the usual casing and adds a nice finished feel to a part that you can't even see once it is installed. The chrome parts were beautifully plated and perfectly shiny. The glass pieces all arrived in one piece and fit beautifully. The whole unit is very nicely and securely packaged.

I took off one star because the bulbs that came with it are insanely, eyeball bleachingly BRIGHT. Depending on the size of your room, this may not be a problem, but I installed this in a small powder room and I can feel the heat of the three one hundred watt bulbs while I'm standing at my toilet. Normally this wouldn't even be a problem, but the bulbs are an odd double-ended 78mm T3 halogen bulb (I have similar bulbs in my work lights) and I could only find one supplier for lower wattage replacement bulbs, it's been a week since I've ordered them and I still haven't received them, so I'm always going to have to be one set ahead. If you're going to stay with the 100 watt bulbs that come packaged with the unit, they seem to be readily available, so you can add the missing star back on and order this fixture without worry.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Modern designed lighting can be very hard to find, reasonably priced even more so. Golden Lighting's fixture was well made throughout, which made installation a breeze. I should clarify, if you're comfortable installing a new or replacement light fixture, then installation is a breeze. If you're not, prepare to be adventurous or hire a qualified electrician. Installation should take more than one hour. the size of the shades limits the type of bulbs one can use. Because of the orientation, upside down, and trapped heat, you NEVER would want to use CFLs or even LED bulbs in this fixture. Regular A19 will fit of course, but one can also use j-type tubular bulbs. The tubular bulbs have the advantage of emitting light from a cylinder in all directions whereas an A19 emits light in almost every direction including up. Light travelling up is just blocked by the top of the shade and therefore wasted. A 75W tubular bulb will be as bright or brighter than an 100W A19.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My first impressions when opening the box to a $200 light was that it was packaged sufficiently to arrive un-damaged. The styrofoam inside is the softer kind that can be dented easily with slight pressure, but was sufficient to have kept everything inside in good shape. All the parts and pieces were individually wrapped in plastic and easy to remove from the packaging. Curiously there was a red nylon stranded string under a sticker on the outside upper corner of the box that led to a plastic bag on the inside top of the foam lid piece that contained the nuts, screws, washers and electrical box parts. I have never seen a parts bag packaged this way before. Perhaps they were left out in the initial run of the manufacturing & packaging and added later.

Upon removing the parts from the plastic bags on each piece it was evident that the fit and finish were good. 'Made in China". But good quality. The finish is well done. The fixture has some weight to it. Not too much that installation would be more difficult, but just enough that it didn't feel cheap. The shades are very nice. I had to handle then very carefully as they feel slightly more fragile than your standard round or oval shade. Square shaped shades usually feel more fragile to me anyways.

Installation is pretty straight forward. You attach a mounting bracket to the electrical box. The bracket has two screws that have threads that face out towards you. The screws are aligned horizontal from each other. The fixture then is placed over the screws and secured to the bracket with two round nuts that are threaded over the two screws. One of the more challenging steps in installing vanity lights for me has been to install the shades. Especially smaller or square shades. It is often hard to get your hand up into the shade to screw on the round retaining ring that holds the shade up tight to the light rail arm. The rings are usually thin and awkward to hold while trying to screw onto the porcelain threads of the light socket. Often a lot of friction between the two parts makes it more difficult to get them started correctly without cross threading them and having to loosen and try again. One great thing about this light kit is that it includes a plastic retaining ring tool that makes this installation process much easier. I find that if you add a dab of lubricating oil or even olive oil to the threads of the ring, it will line up and thread much more easily onto the socket. After you get the shades on you can then install the bulbs which would also be a safeguard against the shades falling off as a bulb is larger than the hole in the top of the shade.

Uses standard electrical wiring nuts. It helps to have someone holding the light while you attach the hot, neutral and grounding wires. You can tape or secure a hand towel or like material to the fixture to prevent it from scratching your wall or mirror while it is hanging down. Make sure your switch is off and better yet turn the breaker off. Hopefully you will have enough light from other sources to see well. The base of the fixture is a standard size footprint.

Lit up. They look great. 360 watt bulbs in the white shades makes for a soften glow. I installed them on a dimmer switch and they looked good thru all levels of brightness.

Pros:

Quality materials and workmanship

Appears to be a lasting finish

Looks better in person than in pictures

Easy to install

Cons:

Instructions could be better. Especially for someone who has never installed a vanity light before.

Hope this review was helpful in some way. Goodluck with your shopping.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program How great could a light be?

The most surprising thing about this piece is that the three lights extend out from the wall a bit more than my other bathroom lights, just enough more to avoid that weird bounce back off the mirror, and not so far that they give you big shadows under your eyes. So the lighting looks natural and you don't get glare when you apply mascara.

The glass is thick, heavy, and gorgeous...the base of the glass is designed so you don't see the icky flourescent swirly light bulbs either (good for the environment, ugly to look up at...they get dusty too!). The metal is well finished and doesn't feel like a cheap surface metal covering up plastic. Sometimes a pewter finish can look cheap and dull, this has a matte but luminous finish and feels good.

Installation was a breeze and the instructions and all the parts were actually understandable. Five minutes to install!

My only suggestion (having learned this from a ceiling fan disaster) is to make sure your installation is to an electric box supported by a stud or cross piece, NOT simply into the drywall. This is a heavy set and the electrical box alone may not support it.

I hope you find this review helpful!

Honest reviews on Nelio Vanity Lights

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program We have a small, windowless full bathroom that we've partially remodeled meaning that we've installed a cool, modern Italian vanity/mirror, but haven't done the rest of the bathroom. We've tried various bathroom light fixtures in the bathroom with so-so success (great aesthetics, poor light source).

This 3 light fixture is modern enough looking to work with our vanity/mirror. Due to space constraints (the vanity/mirror is narrow & tall), we installed the fixture upside down. It produces a nice, bright, soft light that lights the entire bathroom. The light, even shining upwards, is still good enough to use to put on make-up.

Aesthetics-wise, this light fixture looks similar to those 3 light fixtures that you find in a home improvement warehouse store. The pewter finish is nice and has a modern brushed look. The square openings above the glass shades look fine against our large subway tile. The glass shades are a pretty, muted white that gives the fixture modern, soft look.

Overall, this is a nice fixture that produces good light and is easy to install. If the price and design work for you, go for it.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I just recently moved into a newer, bigger house, and while our family loves it, some updates were necessary. The guest bedroom had that hideous 90s style "Hollywood" mirror vanity. We replaced it with the Nelio Three Light Pewter Vanity and we couldn't be happier. It looks very high end and really lends an air of elegance to the bathroom. The light is ample but is softened by the milky glass. We absolutely love the total effect. My husband is pretty handy and had no trouble with the installation. We are considering purchasing two more of the same for the master bathroom. Highly recommended!

I purchased this item as a protection from large metal pots, etc. from scratching my new Elkay stainless under mount sink when washing various pieces of kitchenware. The feet at the corners are covered with a black plastic. The bad news: the black plastic scratches the stainless steel leaving fine scratches in the corners. This product cost $70.00. I am very disappointed. The black plastic covering should have been made of a softer material that would not scratch an expensive sink.

I replaced a rubber may in the bottom of the sink with this. It works much better than the rubber mat. You can use a nozzle to get the food into the drain without picking it up. The only problem is one of the little feet that it sits on doesn't touch the sink because the sink is a little lower. It doesn't really affect how I use it or anything I just thought it would fit the sink perfectly since it's made to fit my sink.
