Sea Gull Lighting 7543503-962 Clip Three-Light Ceiling Flush Mount Hanging Modern Light Fixture, Brushed Nickel Finish

I like these light fixtures.
I installed two of these today – one in my kitchen and one in my hallway – to replace some very old fixtures that were here when I moved in last month. These made a world of difference.They’re very simple and exactly what I wanted. Installation was very easy once I dug up screws to install the metal plates. 🤬 Why would screws not be included? Neither of the old fixtures had plates, or screws to screw them on. It’s outrageous how companies pinch pennies at the expense of customer satisfaction. The problem is laid at the feet of the consumer now. How much money was saved by not including two tiny plate screws? 2 cents? Bizarre how companies survive these days doing business this way. So, just a heads up…go to a hardware store and buy two screws for installing a light fixture metal plate. You will be happy you did.Anyway, after the metal plates were installed and wires connected all that’s left is attaching the fixture, screwing in light bulbs and attaching the glass shade.Take note of the ONE clip that has a spring on it. You can see the spring underneath the insulation. What I did for future bulb changes and possibly future owners, I marked bright pink sharpie marks on each side of the one spring clip (on the white metal base) and marked the top of the clip too, so I will know it’s the spring-loaded one by just looking. It’s the clip you have to pull to release the glass shade to change a bulb. You can’t see any of the markings from the floor. 👍 Plan ahead. 😉These take (2) 60 watt or led equivalent bulbs. I installed (2) led daylight bulbs and they’re too bright. I think I’m going to change them to 40 watt equivalent. The fixtures look nice. Nothing fancy, but they’re simple and attractive.Two thumbs up for the fixtures and 5 stars. Zero stars for not including the needed metal plate screws.

Cheap But Nice Enough – Many Reviewers Are Wrong
As mentioned elsewhere, these are mid-quality cheap items. But they’re nice enough to fit in my nice hallway, if you know how to get them installed.1) Clips: Some people say they had trouble installing the glass because the clips don’t move. One of the three support clips is on a spring mount and can be pulled away from the center. The other two are fixed.2) Gap to ceiling: The white core is visible from the side. The glass dome edge is about 1.25 inches from the ceiling. If there’s a gap from the white core to the ceiling, then you installed it wrong. The central mounting post is adjustable to create tension against the mounting bracket. There is no flaw in the fixture that prevents proper installation.3) Quality: The clips aren’t always mounted straight, and their finish appears to be metallic paint over what I’d guess is die-cast pot metal. But the frosted glass seems real enough. The core is sheet metal with white paint. The two light sockets seem safe but are mounted on very thin sheet metal.

With today’s LED lights I’ve found open fixtures are a must. All my old 2 light fixtures would get too hot inside and the led lights would overheat and shut down until they cooled off. Like others, I was worried about quality so bought one fixture to try. When that came, and I found the build quality decent enough for my needs, I went ahead and ordered the other four I needed.I was pleasantly surprised. Decent value for the money.

Great light
