BROKEN WAS SHIPPED

I ORDERED 3 LIGHTS , ALL 3 LIGHTS WERE BROKEN, TOOK IT TO WALLMART FOR RETURN. TOLD BY THE RETURN DESK, WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THESE LIGHTS, WE WILL SHIP IT BACK AND THE 3RD PARTY SELLER WILL DECIDE TO RETURN THE MONEY. AS OF THIS DAY HAVE NOT RECEIVED A REFUND OF THE LIGHTS.

Bought this fixture to replace a 20 year old Lithonia flourescent ceiling light. Was very pleased to find that it fit perfectly into the same location. The mounting holes were identical. The ballast is now electronic. The tube holders are a better quality.

SEE RECOMMENDATION IN MY REVIEW.

SMALL PIECE OF PLASTIC COVER BROKEN OFF ONE END. NUMBER OF REVIEWS COMPLAIN OF BROKEN COVERS. MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO SHIP COVER IN STYROFOAM MOLD FOR PROTECTION. NICE DESIGN AND APPEARANCE.

4 ft. Flourescent/LED Light

Simple to install and works like a champ. I used two toggle bolts in the ceiling to anchor the base and then wired up the leads and the ground using three wire nuts and the supplied ground screw. I snapped the center cover in, test fit the bulbs and then put the acrylic cover on. Start to finish - 15 minutes. I used some 1850 lumen LED tubes and the light is excellent.

Simple Efficient Effective Value

Used in garage to complement two others. Basic LED wraparounds. Working well with 32 W T8 LED bulbs. Ordered on-line. Arrived quickly and good condition. Excellent value.

It's a Fluorescent Fixture Bi-pin light. It can be used for either surface or recessed mounting. The steel they are constructed with is very thin. When using the punch outs provided they tend to bend more than just pop out.

DO NOT BUY, diffuser cracks on installation.

The diffuser cover is 1/4” too narrow and definitely will not fit back on the unit once the unit is installed on the ceiling WITHOUT CRACKING!! Many others have said the same thing, see the 3 star and under reviews. The undersized diffuser is very stiff and brittle, and attempts to attach it over the two 48” lips will result in much cursing, the fit is far too tight to go into place and few people will even have the finger strength at ceiling level to attempt to stretch the diffuser over the lip. After many attempts I tried to crimp one of the 48” lips inward with pliers as one reviewer suggested, but still the diffuser refused to attach across the reduced distance. One more try and it cracked length-wise at one end. Now what?? To get a refund the whole unit would have to be detached from the ceiling, ridiculous. This is junk and not worthy of being sold in Home Depot, my long time favorite home outfitter. I should be getting a refund without having to take down this unit with its defective design. Shame on Lithonia lighting who surely knows the unit’s faults.

Decent fixture but be cautious and don't buy a returned item

It's a basic flourescent. I was disappointed as the first fixture purchased was nonfunctioning. After review, it was obviously a return that had been reshelved. This caused an unwarranted delay in the replacement by the electrician. The second fixture, upon opening, was, in comparison to the first, untouched and functions well now that it is installed.

Disappointed

Light worked really well for 16 months and then the ballast went out. Previous lights (different models) lasted 14 years each. Light in garage almost 30 years old. Expected more then this. Bulbs kasted longer than the fixture.

Very Thin material. Lens was found broke in two different boxes we received. One shipped to our home and then when we returned it to the store, got home with another one and it was broke. We brought the same light 16 yrs ago and is was a lot thicker and sturdy, same brand: this light was so thin all the metal frame and plastic lens. We took the ballast out of the new light and installed it in our old light frame, with the old lens threw away this cheap made product.
