Crystorama Lighting - Three Light Ceiling Mount - Ceiling Mount - Fulton - Three

I love the appearance, but hated the installation. I purchased this light years ago in the 12" size and had it professionally installed. I liked the look so I purchased 4 more in 18" for a hallway. Having seen both, the 18" size will be appropriate for most uses, the 12" light is small with little visual impact. I looked at many lights and like the ivory shade, glass diffuser, and touches of black. It is elegant but isn't too heavy looking. Three bulbs provides a good amount of light and I will add a dimmer. I have other LED lights, which I like but the acrylic covers most have don't look as nice as I would like. The install is infuriating and I have personally installed dozens of lights myself. My husband and I nearly gave up and called an electrician. You have to try to push the canopy up blindly and hope the two holes line up with two screws that stick out 1" past the ceiling bracket. The insulation inside the canopy blocks your view of the screws so it's trial and error a hundred times with your arms above your head. We attached skewers to the screw to help us find the screw through the holes. This method worked but still took many tries because the screws wobble and move so you might get one in and not the other. Attaching the bottom ring and glass diffuser also requires two people and will make changing bulbs difficult. Lots of breaks and cursing was required! We got 2 up and I'm contemplating an electrician for the last two. We also tried installing the 24" light but will send it back because we couldn't install it and emailing the manufacturer didn't help. I looked for videos to help with install but found none. This light isn't inexpensive but it is less expensive than our other lighting from Rejuvenation with a similar look. I looked for something less expensive, but generally found smaller lights, acrylic diffusers, or too much metal that gave tye lights a heavy or more industrial appearance. I used Feitt LED bulbs 12.5W, 1100 Lumens Bright White.
