Installation was a breeze. I installed two of these by myself not that it's brain surgery-level work, but after installing a 52" Hunter by myself wherein I whined (to myself) I needed a third hand or greater upper body strength just to hook the beast while I wired it I don't recall these even having the "helpful hook" and I know I didn't wish I had Popeye arms. These fans didn't require a heavy-duty brace as it's light-weight (comparatively speaking) and I was able use the existing light box (50 year old house with the old hard black plastic tube light box thingy) and it felt (still does) extremely secure after installation (and at the highest fan speed plus both were perfectly balance from the first flip o' the switch (likely because the blades are so small, not likely due to my installation skills :). I purchased two of these (from a big box warehouse) for my kitchen one over the sink/oven area, the other over the dining nook. I was concerned the blades wouldn't provide enough of a "breeze" or, perhaps, too much (e.g., cool down hot foods too quickly), but the small blades, the more pronounced slants of each blade and the three speed options made finding the "right breezes" an ease. I especially appreciate the ability to direct each of the three bulbs to a specific area (at long last I have very direct light over the sink AND over the range top). I have a two pole wired house so I added decorative pull chain fobs to match the kitchen decor (and the kind that wouldn't show cookie-doughed hands, etc), but found I rarely feel the need to adjust the fan speed. My kitchen prep area and dining nook are narrow (okay, I have a tiny kitchen, sigh!) and found the next smallest size fans to be a bit too big (if anything, they just looked out of proportion I suppose), instead, these look well-sized for the areas (and I've had many a compliment on my "kitchen fans"). I didn't give the fan 5 stars because the light bulbs are outrageously expensive (compared to "regular ceiling fan bulbs) and living in an older home my "dirty electricity" (the electrician's term, not mine) means I tend to go through light bulbs faster than I should (or so it seems to me). Would I buy this fan again? Absolutely.

These lights were lovely. We couldn't use them because they came with only 12" long rods for installation. Our ceilings are 8' high and the lights would either hang too high or too low above our kitchen island. I would not recommend them for an 8' ceiling, but they would work well for something higher. We ultimately went with lights which included 6" and 12" rods for installation. These lights would be more user friendly if they included a 6" rod.

I don't like how most solar light path lights have a bright cool-white light that shines in your eye and barely lights the surronding area. Not these beauties! They illuminate downwards only with a soft, warm light. The solar panel is on the top of each light fixture and there are no wires connecting each piece, enabling you total flexibility and ease of placement. The metal is a chocolate brown with a bit of a glossy sheen. We've had them up for a couple weeks and we're very pleased.

These solar lights look fantastic! I have them lining my front walk-way and I could not be more pleased. They give out a lot of light but it looks subdued because it is pointing down. Definitely worth the little bit of extra money.

I used these on the side of my service gate between the neighbors home. Not the most ideal location for these due to being the most shaded area of my home but they get about a solid 3hrs of direct Arizona sunlight from noon to 3pm or so. Lights come on around 7 to 8pm pending time of year and have a yellowish tint to the lighting very similar to low voltage landscape lighting, in my opinion. They typically start to fade with limited charge around 1am. The head of these units come off at the top of the base allowing me to move these to the part of my yard that gets complete sunlight and with that charge, they last ALL NIGHT into morning. I do this only the day of when I know we will have guest in the backyard and a possible late night gathering into morning hours. Only thing that bothered me about these lights is the plastic stakes have a long cross pattern and don't necessarily go into the ground straight in and can turn on you if there are large rocks in the ground. The base has a square insert but if it were round, you would be able to turn it to face the specific direction you would like or correct the angle of the top. The square base and peg makes it set to how the stake enters the ground.

I bought these solar lights about a month ago, and I have received many positive comments about them. Good light even when clouds prevent full charge. I would definetly purchase again (and will, when the price comes back down).

Look great, nice subtle light. Don't expect super bright because light is 100% down, but that is what I wanted.

Big downside is that after 2 weeks one light has failed completely. After 4 weeks a second light is glitching on and off. The other 4 are fine. I really can't recommend these lights.

These lamps were almost perfect. They were packaged very very well. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that the shades didn't sit evenly. One was tilted, and the other one wasn't beveled enough to sit all the down this caused one shade to be higher than the other. I had to purchase some fine-grain sand paper, and with 20 minutes worth of sanding, I was able to correct the problem. It was a very cheap problem to fix ($2 for the sand paper), but it was still a hassle.

As for the aesthetics of both lamps, they are gorgeous. They look just like the photo. The construction is pretty durable, while the framing of the shades, like almost all lamps out there, are on the flimsy side. This can't be helped. It seems all lamps are made like this to reduce topside weight to keep the lamp from easily toppling over. Just to let you know, the shades are a long oval shape. They not circular.

As for lighting, both of them can easily brighten a room with the right bulbs. Since the lamp shades are thick, very little light will actually radiate horizontally. This allows a person to appreciate the lamps directly with their eyes without being blinded. Most of the light will be radiating towards the ceiling and down below. I used trial and error to find the correct intensity, and will pass my findings on to save you some time:

I used two CFLs emitting 1200 lumens (brightness) each, at 2700k (color).

This will provide a warm yellow light that will be soothing and ambient, yet bright enough to read and do homework perfect for the bedroom. If these lamps are being used in a living room or bigger space, I suggest going up to 1600 lumens instead.

These look great in my bedroom and don't take up much space. You won't be disappointed!

The lamps are really pretty, but even with the brightest lightbulb put in it, the shades don't appear to be black and white.

Very happy with them! The shades are really nice! They are heavy and I don't worry at all about them tipping over at all.

I totally fell in love with them when I first saw them and even more when I received them ... they look great on my night stands ... perfect size ... I loved their shape which is elongated oval instead of round so they take much less space ... the shade are made of polyester while the black designs are velvety ... the make is slightly on the flimsy side but they are totally fine if you don't move them every now and then ... the color of the shades is definitely not white ... it's ivory more like the color of butter, actually a shade darker ... so don't go for them if you are specifically looking for black and white ... if you are fine with ivory, they are a very good value for money ...

Review of Model 4217 Composite Underwater Spread Light Color Black

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

Well made pond light. It features a substantial weight which serves to keep it in place when submerged. This was purchased as a replacement for units bought 13+ years ago. The original units failed due to broken lenses from rocks in the pond which buried the unit and crushed it when walked upon.

This unit was unexpectedly supplied without a lamp.
