I bought 3 of these lights. The light comes with all the standard trimmings: screws to install, a universal support, a few wire nuts. The light is lower profile than I anticipated. Nonetheless, I was able to put 3 75 watt CFL's in the housing.
The screws to mount the universal support to the electric box were a little less optimal IMO. They were a little too thin to grab my '70's junction box screw holes. Additionally, they were a little short for my liking. Having a slightly longer screw makes it easier. And finally, the shoulder on the screw isn't as big as I would like in relation to the hole size in the fixture. So I went to the garage and grabbed some better screws. I highly recommend this! highly! Just test the screws on the junction box holes, if they hold, run to lowes to buy the same size, just a half inch longer. It you have the same issue I had, up it in size and length.
The holes in the fixture were a perfect match for the electrical boxes I was installing in, so I didn't use the universal support. I put my 2 screws in the junction box, as far out as possible. Then I used the wire nuts to connect the 3 wires, making sure to twist until the insulating sections of the wire were twisted.
Now to mount, I use the worlds best know trick and stick a screw driver through the mounting plate and the insulation and put the tip on the screw. Then move the fixture up on the screw driver and viola placement and fastening is simple.
Results are good. I had a darker than desired hallway, bedroom, and living room. I put 'bright white' CFL's in all of them. I upgraded from 60 watt equivalent to 75 watt in the hallway because it was still too dark.
Now, I'm happy.
The finish on the fixture is VERY weak. Even water marked it. I needed to get a lightly damp cloth to wipe down the marks from my wet hands. So after you wash your hands, dry them before moving onto the next one.
Now that it's up, it looks great! If it gets scratched up while installed on the ceiling then I'll be out another $20. Cheap fixture, easy install, looks great!
