Are you kidding I know it's only a few bucks but the extreamly poor quality is beyond what I would call cheap! Tried to mount the damn thing with the screws they provided -- Ha, all 4 snapped in half when trying to screw them in, I even drilled pilot holes. Honestly I am getting really tired of the "Made in China" thing. Can't these companies spend a penny per 10,000 screws and get something a little better than diecast.

I give this company a -1 on a whole for quality!!! I will never buy another one of their products. I could do a better job with tinfoil and duct tape.

Works good, replacement bulbs are expensive, the ballast on the first one lasted about two years, this was a replacement purchase.

Here looking for a replacement because one of mine has gone out. I installed 7 total in daisy chain, hardwired to a switch on the wall about a month ago. I especially like the light it reflects off my countertops, and the low profile design. With a general knowledge of electrical and no fear of cutting into the walls, installation is straightforward if well planned. I think it'll look even better when we get the backsplash up! I'm not giving it five stars because I haven't yet decided or determined how I lost a 'new' light so quickly. I did buy these a few years ago and from multiple sources on clearance. Besides sitting for so long, I also tripped the electrical circuit in front of this unit when installing, and it's the first in the chain off the switch. We'll see if the one I swapped into that position or any others goes out, but I have a feeling I toasted it.
