Natural Mica Collection 12" Wide Ceiling Light Fixture

I saw this originally on the lampsplus website[...] It looks great, easy to install (I had a previously existing wired box). Problems: the light of 3 40-watt bulbs (I used soft white) were diffused so much by the faux mica plates that the light was incredibly dim, like a single 40watt bulb. Wow, there is absolutely no way about this, and I should have installed it sooner and tried it out, that way I could have sent it back for a refund. What I had to do was remove the mica bottom (2 semi-circular pieces glued together) from the inside and replace it with frosted glass. Poor choice on the materials!Also, when you turn the light on, you will hear an initial crackling as the glue holding the faux mica together at the seams begins to expand. It is an annoying sound. I'm surprised they would market this. Of course, my glue could have been old, but then again, wrong glue used then.Would actually not recommend this for the price of [$]. Maybe $60. Overall, I'm happy.The mica looks processed and not natural. As a geology major who's seen enough biotite and muscovite mica, it's not mica in its natural state, but then again I don't know how mica is processed for lamp shade material.

Pros: Attractive Design

We've had this for over two years now, installed in the kitchen, and it looks great *but* had I known how dim the light was I never would have ordered it. I removed the faux-mica (blocks a lot of light) and installed plain muscovite mica sheets - now I have sufficient lighting. Still,not exceptionally bright but ok!

Pros: Attractive Design, Diffused Light

Cons: Dim

Best Uses: Low-level Lighting, Kitchen

Great decoration piece but lighting is very dim due to 40 watt bulb requirement. Wouldn't use for primary light source.

Pros: Easy To Install, Easy to Change Bulb, Attractive Design

Best Uses: Decoration, Ambiance

These work great with a dimmer too. The light fixtures are very rustic and instantly transform a boring hallway into a gorgeous one and one can't help but to admire the fixtures along the way. And the price is budget friendly.

Pros: Attractive Design, Diffused Light, Easy To Assemble, Great Value

Looks expensive...great quality

Pros: Great Value, Attractive Design, Diffused Light

great looking. but buy another if you are looking for better lighting

Pros: Easy To Install, Easy to Change Bulb, Attractive Design

Cons: Light not bright enough

Best Uses: Hall Lighting, Ambiance, Decoration

Very attractive light fixture but... I put it in a small hallway at the top of the stairs. It replaced an old single 60 watt light fixture (that provided adequate light to the area) so I thought being it had three 40 watt lights the combined 120 watts would be more than enough to brighten the hallway. I was wrong. The glass tinted amber shade obscures the light to a point that it is more of a warm glow night light fixture rather than providing good lighting. Like I said, it's pretty so I will keep it but I am trying to figure out how to find a clear frosted shade the same size to let out more light.

Pros: Very attractive light

Cons: VERY Dim Light

I loved these online but was hesitant after reading the comments but I loved the look of them so I bought two of them for our long hallway. They really are lovely. They look just like the picture. They add just the right look to a plain white hallway. I was afraid the mica might be too yellow and diffuse the light too much, but the picture is pretty much right on and they give out plenty of light. My husband had a hard time installing them, I don't know why. I heard a lot of cussing but I know better than to ask any questions about it!

I put this in my foyer and it looks great. I wish the wattage were higher though. Thinking of getting the 15" one for my vestibule.

Pros: Convenient On/Off, Attractive Design, Easy to Change Bulb

Cons: Low Wattage

We purchased two of these flush mount ceiling lights to install in the hallway of our Mediterranean style home. We have previously purchased exterior lights from the same collection. We found the design very attractive and complemented our casual, rustic decor. The only negative thing about this fixture is that it does not put out a lot of light.

This fixture hangs in an entry hall with a low ceiling. It is very low profile and doesn't interfere with door opening. It was easy to install and shouldn't collect too much dust or bugs as it mounts flush to the ceiling.

I purchased 2 of these almost two years ago to replace the ceiling lights in our family room. They added a connection that tied all the lighting together. (Wife picked them out!) They were very easy to install and in about 1.5 hours they were up and working. Changing light bulbs is very easy ~ a lot easier that the lights they replaced. I cannot think of any thing that is not good about them. We have had many people say that they are very good looking and like the way they shine UP and down. Would not change a thing about them.

Pros: Diffused Light, Great Value, Adjustable, Ties any room together, Attractive Design, Easy To Assemble

The light fixture uses three regular sized bulbs and looks absolutely beautiful turned on or off. I am planning on purchasing at least two more for hallway locations. The one we bought is used in our bedroom, but I think this light fixture would look great in many different places of a home.

Pros: Attractive Design, Easy To Assemble, Great Value

We have not hung the light yet since we're still painting but can't wait to see it lit up in our hallway.

Pros: Attractive Design, Easy To Assemble

I purchased 4 of these ceiling fixtures for use in the front hallway of our home. My husband and I love them! They look great and the light is soft and natural.

Pros: Attractive Design, Diffused Light

Kitchen lighting. Beautiful and Unusual. Looks Antique and hand made. Gives off sufficent light but soft because of the ' Leather like- Mica-Parchment" (?) lining.

Pros: Attractive Design, Easy To Assemble, Diffused Light, Antique

A very unique piece that looks more expensive than it was. The low to ceiling profile worked very well in an older house with 8 ft ceilings without creating a closed feeling in an entryway.

Pros: Easy To Assemble, Great Value, Attractive Design, Diffused Light

Beautiful. Not the same old lighting seen in most home stores.

Pros: Attractive Design, Diffused Light

If you have any rought iron decor, this is the perfect ceiling light for any area in your home.

Pros: Great Value, Attractive Design

Looks expensive...great quality
