I really don't know, but wasn't there a phone number to call included in box the lamp came in? Wish I could be of more help!

The answer is this: the base at it's deepest point is slightly less than 2 1/4 inches; figure 2 1/4 to be safe. (this is the bottom of the fixture)

The reason I bought it was because I could screw it straight onto the wall without a junction box using the four holes on the edge. Some fixtures only have a big hole in the center to mount with some junction boxes. Most junction boxes have four (or two holes) in the corners. I am going to take a wild guess and say that the four holes of the light fixture will match up with the holes at the corners of a junction box - 95% certain of that. I love the light fixture. I was skeptical at first because it states that it is built of plastic. But, it is thick and strong like plastic a space shuttle would be built of - so I love it! Comes on every night at dusk. A great light/ great price. You may have to use caulk on the edge of junction box instead of the gasket that comes with it. Good luck.

It's just like a typical studio light fixture, the fixture is designed to fit over the top of the stand and then you tighten the thumb screw. The box itself is made as part of the light fixture, you open it up and push the center ring onto the light fixture before installing the bulb. They work pretty good and are great for travel.

Kim B's measurements are spot on. I'd like to add that this light is great. I have it as an accent light in my powder room and everybody raves about it. I have it on a dimmer too which just adds to it! Well worth the money as similar fixtures are three times to cost. I hope this helps.

The electric box is not included. Everything to attach the fixture to the box is included. Of course there is a "beauty ring" to cover the electric box. The chain is at least 4 ft long. We had two people which was very helpful. We took the glass globe off during installation which made it much lighter and easier to handle. We really love it!

I have moved since I had this installed by an electrician in my house and I don't remember how he installed it. We have not installed one yet on our current house. I would ask an electrician. Sorry I can't help you. This was recommended to me by the company that put lightning rods on our house.

So from my experience, as well as from some of the reviews, this light is good only if you get the correct parts which it seems like doesn't always happen. I'm not sure why the company only gives you pictures on how to set up a softbox....which really isn't rocket science. It should have pictures on how to mount the light in the event that a part was not manufactured properly (as is the case with me so they're sending me a replacement piece). Call the company. They'll help you out.

The height and width of the base is "standard" for most lighting that attaches to the outside of the property. I had a light up previously that I replaced with this one and the opening was perfectly covered with the new fixture. I think they're pretty standard.

too short, way too short... you need a junction box right beside the spot. It's a metric wire, not in your usual store... so you can't change it for a longer one unless you get an electrician to enlarge the wire opening

The one thing that I don't like is that the hanging wire is exposed. I was looking for a cover over it. I am in new construction, so can put anything - even a wire cover over. I have found a curtain rod that will fit over the wire and hope that will work. Unfortunate that it is such an great light fixture and the wire is exposed!

Hello there, If i remember correctly, this is installed with a steel bracket approx about 4-6 inches apart. One important factor i should mention about this product is the coupling of the main unit (the ceiling piece you can see here) with the bracket (the big circle portion at the top). If you'll notice from the last picture, about where the cylinder meets the "dome" for the lighting, you have to hold up the light and attach these onto the bracket. It may not look complicated but it was hard doing it by myself (as the light portion is quite heavy even without the crystal bulbs attached). Be aware you will have to attach the electrical along with holding up the light and finding the holes to the bracket all at the same time! Buy a strand of metal wire to attach through the holes during the process to hold up the light. Additionally, be aware of the hydrogen bulbs you place in the lamp. Make sure you buy lower wattage (and not the big bulky LED energy saving bulbs) as they may/may not fry the little transformer in the light. Hope this helps!

Hi there ...I am an industrial electrician and you are going to need some troubleshooting b4 you send the fixture back . First check the socket that holds the halogen light bulb and see if the springs are broken , and then check the continuity on the cord ... and if you can't find anything wrong during these steps then you have to take the fixture back . I hope i was helpful .good luck

mr. o'shea, I really like this light fixture, but now that it is installed in a corner under a cabinet i can't see the back. I checked several web sites for better pictures of the unit, but it is only shown in the box or from the part that you would normally see. The next best option is to go to a home depot (that's where they sell them around here) or another store that carries the light and open the box to get the information that you are looking for hands on before making a buying decision.

The 2x2x2 reference is non-sense as they are not the dimensions to anything I can reason about this fan. Maybe it is the size of the area available for nutting the wires together [4 wires, fan switch, light switch, neutral and ground] as I remember it being tight and could not hold a 6" lead for all wires with nuts. The plug in reference relates only to the light fixture portion of the fan. It is hard wired to a box in the fan and the light portion plugs into a built in single outlet in the unit. So you mount the fan unit and wire it and then after the ceiling is finished you plug in the light assembly and mount the exterior housing/cosmetics. All of the combination light/fans I have seen are the same in this respect.
