What is Color Temperature?Color temperature (Correlated Color Temperature, or CCT) represents how yellow or blue the light appears in a space. Warmer color temperatures create a cozy atmosphere and are often used in residential or more intimate settings. Cooler color temperatures are ideal for offices or workspaces needing a more energetic and focused environment. |

The lamp cones with all the needed installation hardware. It was a direct replacement that works great. An awesome lighting improvement for our garage. Great value for the money; should pay for itself with the electric savings.

I’m not a particularity handy person.I had the old florescent two tube light in the laundry room and it died a few weeks ago.I replaced the ballast unit and that didn’t work.So, I replaced it with one of these units.This light looks much better and it was easy to install.Installation took me about 30 minutes including taking the old light down.I had a helping hand to hold the light in place while mounting to the ceiling.Very bright exactly like I wanted it to be.Very satisfied with this light.Seller and product highly recommended.

The issue that I was dealing with, was that the 4′ fluorescent fixtures in my primary bedroom closets were having bulb and/or ballast issues. Why not replace the fixtures with something more efficient anyway? I was already familiar with Lithonia Lighting, as I’ve purchased some of their lighting products in the past, so it seemed like the Lithonia Lighting FMLWL 48 840 LED Flush Mount Wraparound Light (4-Foot, 4000k, Bright White) would be a decent choice.When I was taking down the old light fixtures, I noticed an issue… no J-boxes. Instead, Romex was poking through a hole in the sheetrock. Ugh. At least a ground wire was coming through, too, though it’s a bad thing when that’s the kind of thing that makes you happy. Did I mention that I was wall-mounting these? Because the Romex was coming through holes drilled in the framing over the closet door, there wasn’t a quick or easy way to add a J-box in the same spot. I opted instead to go with a flush mount. There’s a small, circular knock-out on the back of the light fixture, so I cut a grommet for that hole, pulled the white/black/green fixture wires back into the housing, and hooked everything up. It works, but there are issues. It appears that Lithonia Lighting just took an existing fluorescent housing, glued in a DC power adapter, and put in a 5050 light strip. Theoretically this makes this light easy to repair or modify, if that’s your thing. Aside from the massive amount of wasted space, and shockingly high BOM cost vs. retail price markup, the location of the light strip makes it difficult to hide the wiring in a non-traditional installation like mine. Everything is downlight from the strip. Is that Lithonia Lighting’s problem? Maybe not, but it’s logical to assume that you might be able to use that massive housing for something.As far as the light goes, it’s pretty good for the 8’x8′ closets. Decent CRI, brightness, and diffusion (you don’t see distinct hotspots where the surface-mount LEDs are). Aesthetically, you could best describe these as industrially functional. The housings look cheap, but the diffuser looks pretty good. I’m a little torn when it comes to the VALUE of these fixtures. On the one hand, ~$50 per fixture isn’t bad… and I do expect them to last for several years. On the other hand, these seem pretty expensive for what you get. Recommended

Exactly what I wanted and expected. Went for the pure white light… Perfect for the garage. Replaced a dual-bulb fluorescent fixture. If you are running a three-way switch, plan on using your own wire nuts, as the ones that come with this package are not large enough to join three wires. IMPORTANT NOTE: This fixture attaches directly to the box, thus the alignment of the box will dictate the alignment of this fixture… You will have two choices, rotated 90 degrees from each other, because you will be using two of the four holes in the fixture to attach to the box. As always, your mileage may vary.

This light was a great for for the laundry room. Super easy to install by reattached corresponding wires. DIY is the way to go with this light. The brightness was amazing for what we needed.I love the slim look.

This LED fixture replaced an old double tube fluorescent in my basement laundry room.The room is unfinished, so the joists are exposed.I wanted to mount the new fixture in the exact location (between joists) as the old one, but could not due to wiring restrictions.This fixture requires a junction box to be mounted. It has the proper mounting holes/slots to fit a standard electrical junction (not a switch/receptacle) box.The installation requires an electrician and a helper (to hold the fixture while it is being wired), but I did the job myself, using a piece of para cord running through the two holes in the fixture I wasn’t going to use for mounting, and wrapped around a cross-brace between joists. The job would have been much easier if I had a helper, but no one was available at the time.The light is about as bright as the double-tube (2x40W) fluorescent it replaced.I only wish that the fixture’s housing had at least two knockouts for standard Romex cable clamps.One of the main reasons I purchased this Lithonia fixture is that I know it to be a reputable company with an office near me. I have purchased their fluorescent shop lights in the past and have been quite happy with them.

Designed for center-mounting to a junction box. There’s no wire channel on top if you flush mount. Only 3 wires total: pos, neg, gnd. My old flush-mount fluorescent was attached near one end directly to BX coming through a hole in the ceiling. So, I created my own “junction box,” by drilling a hole in the top of the aluminum light fixture and attaching the BX to the aluminum with the correct BX mounting bracket and wire bushing. I had to tuck the connecting wires back into the lamp fixture and connect everything inside rather than in a junction box — there’s plenty of room because the LED strip doesn’t take up any space at all. I shifted the ground wire to the top of the light fixture, and grounded it directly to the BX. Not sure what a licensed electrician would say, but I hit all the right notes! Yeah, I have a smoke alarm nearby. A minor PITA, but nothing abnormal for a 100-year-old house.
