Lighting Fantastic, But Improvement Needed
931205
The only thing holding me back from giving this 5 stars is the fact that you can not replace the batteries!  I know rechargeable batteries are a bit more of an investment, but would gladly do such for this light.  Not sure how long it will hold up, but likely will cost more replacing this light.  This is not a "green' product at all!  I know that I can go to places such as Home Depot, etc. to dispose of old batteries, but this is not in the class of what we typically use and will have to check on way to safely dispose of such.  Directions clearly tell you not to dispose of this product with batteries in it.

Superior lighting, I can have a long driveway, at least half a block and I can see from one end of it to another with this.  I was concerned about my particularly dark driveway in the event of power outages with frequent storm and hurricane threats in Miami.  I can easily ask someone to put this along the driveway, if the power goes out and I am pulling in.

Properly centered in in the safer central area of my residence, that I would stay in, in the event of a storm, I can view several rooms with safe pathway walking, esp. into the bathroom area.

Love the small touches with ability to hang it and a notch in the back in you want to hang it via a nail onto the wall.  Follow directions and learn from reviews of others.  Charge it in off position!  You will see a red light to indicate that it is charging, do not expect a green light to indicate that it is fully charged, it does not have that feature, another minus from potential 5 star rating.  Not sure what to tell you other than to suggest, test it after a few hours.  You do not have to leave it plugged in to have it maintain a charge.  Being so forgetful, put a small piece of masking tape on it with reminder (per instructions) to charge every 3 months and added reminder to my calendar.

Any long term users to attest to its longevity?  This may determine my reordering, but do have concerns over irreplaceable batteries.

I used this LimoStudio lighting kit for 3 days last week and everything worked great. The light stands could use some sandbags or something weighing them down if your floor is uneven or if you're subject to wind. The setup of the softboxes was very straightforward and everything was of decent quality. Time will tell if the materials hold up regular use.

This would be a 5-star rating if two things were addressed. First, longer electrical cords would be really nice as these are fairly short. I will be carrying extension cords with me for all my shoots. Second, the light bulbs don't fit in the carrying case. I've tried every approach to shoving everything in the bag, and it just doesn't fit!

These are nice lights (especially for the price) and install easily.  There are a couple tips for you though:

1) The packaging is not so good, hopefully they will fix it.  I ordered 4 and 2 had broken glass.  Amazon quickly sent me replacements, but 1 of the 2 replacements were broken.  Again, replaced very quickly: thanks Amazon, but it's just a little of a hassle having to return them when better boxing could have prevented this.

2) The lights sit perfectly flush on the wall for me, but I saw another review mentioning that the bowl angled out from the wall slightly leaving a visible gap where light would escape.  This can happen if the bowl isn't flush against the wall - I had one where I tightened down the bottom nut with the bowl slightly out of position and it actually bent the bottom tips of the mounting plate a little bit, preventing the light bowl from being able to mount properly flush.  However, if you straighten out those tips with some pliers then the bowl will install properly again - so if you have trouble with the angle of the bowl, check that!

The lights is excellent and very bright. I haven't had it on long enough to see how my plants do but it's a golden cool tone (granted - it may be brighter than that but right now I'm using a medication that makes the water slightly yellow). I'll see if it lets me post a picture later on once I finish the treatments.
I just realized I need to go home and look at the legs on the light. Apparently, they are adjustable and should be removable. I'm unsure about this as it didn't look that way when I was at home. Once I know, I'll update this.

*Update! I finally played with the legs. There a slight pushing of the leg to the side to unclip the extra plastic piece. The only part of these legs that I don't like is that there is no way to actually tighten and fasten them to the actual light. You just press them snug but in reality it's no big deal. I generally only push my light back and forth at times and they really don't move hardly at all. It just helps hold the lamp over the tank. The little buttons are worthless once you take off the leg and do nothing so I just removed them as they are only usable if you are using both legs.
The light is nice and bright and is great! I'll update in a few weeks once I get my plants going and will tell how they did.

Update: My Wisteria and my other plants seem to be growing great! It was REALLY bright. My Discus were a little unnerved by it so I had to think of a way to hang it.  I ended up buying some pvc tubing and built myself a stand to hang it from. I found thin aluminum rods from Hobby Lobby and bent them into a v shape and shoved them into the holes for the legs and folded it up to create a hanger of sorts; to hang it I used some chain and some carbiners. Here's a link that will show you how to create the hanging kit (just the rods). It's made from aluminum rods that are 3/32 in size and the stuff is super easy to bend into the shape you need and you just slip it into the light. If the link won't appear - just type Beachbum 2012 Finnex Ray II hanging kit and you'll most likely find the link on the Planted Tank website which showed me how to hang this light.

I like the product, it was easy to install and I like the adjustability of the lights.  I did have an issue with one of the switches/dimmers. The company was very responsive and exchanged it without any problem.  They also let me exchange one of the warm white lights for an even more yellow LED light strip.  Even the yellow led strip is still too white for me.  The lights are nice, bright, cool, but too white for my taste.  They almost give off a florescent looking light.  The incandescent bulbs on the bottom of the microwave give off that nice warm glow that bounces off the tiled backsplash and looks so great!  These lights are nice, but they just don't have that nice warm feel to them.  I also had an issue with several of the lights that I stuck to the bottom of the cabinets using the peel and stick tape applied to the led strips.  They fell down after just a few weeks.  It was an easy fix using the included screws.  I would just plan on installing the screws once you have everything positioned using the peel-n-stick tabs already on the led strips and cord management clips.

Looks Amazing and does a great job. One thing you might want to add is some lighting. Not a big deal for me I will be modifying some light into it.

To begin, these soft-box lights are fantastic.
The stands are sturdy and adjustable, the lights are soft and vibrant yet do not diminish the quality of the lighting. They came somewhat assembled, with minimal maintenance required. The umbrella-like nylon reflectors are tight and fitted with little frayed strings dancing off of the surface. The light bulb itself is an 85Watt mimic of true natural light.
*Note - Do not stand to close to the lights while looking directly at them seeing as they are very strong and can hurt your eyes. This seems like common sense but if you have little space to work with you might find it difficult.
Each stand as well as the kit in itself comes with a nylon carrying case. Three cases total.

The only downfall I have to say is the power cords. They are really short and unless you have extension cables or surge protectors with multiple outlets you will be doing some maneuvering.

Final Thoughts:
All in all, it was a great purchase. Beautiful lighting, studio quality, with Black Friday prices. Short Cord - so get an extension.

This is a very bright lantern.  I would have been quite satisfied; however, I had issues removing and reattaching the base after I put the batteries in and had to return mine.  My advice: don't force anything.  I think I'll try my luck and reorder...

I reordered and will upgrade to a 4 now that I have the base working properly.  I do think this could have been designed better.  My advice: gently detach and reattach the bottom without batteries to see how that works.  Don't force anything.  There's a groove to be lined up to properly depress the base.  Other than that critique, seems great!

Everything is great with this lighting. I love the look in my living room. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is that it comes only with Halogen bulbs which give off too much heat and are very glary. It would have been great if there was an option for LED bulbs. I ended up replacing all the halogen bulbs with the LED bulbs which of course adds to the initial expense.

I have bought and used these for up lighting at my new custom  house. 1st of all the great price seams reasonable. 2nd of all really good light color and output. But they either need to tighten the screws or have a better seal on the glass lens because 2 of 10 have gotten moisture behind the glass.

This is a Home Depot product, and I have purchased 52 of these  for my house, converting nearly every 6" can to these lights.

PROS:
- Absolutely the closest rendering of halogen coloring, even when dimmed.  Many LED's have decent color at full brightness, but when dimmed, they become hospital white.

- The faceted baffle cone is tremendously anti-reflective and you get nearly zero glare when viewed from a side

- Install is super easy.  It even fit in sloped ceiling 6" cans, even though those are more elongated and have not fit other retro kits I have tried.  They come out of the box in with the spring-tension attachments. But the box includes clip attachments for twist-in (which worked better for sloped applications for me).

- Because of the large tilt, I was able to produce a down light on ceiling with a 35 degree slope.

- There is no flickering (read cons) even when dim

- Worked perfectly with three different dimmers, and produced no buzzing sound.

CONS
- Of the 52 lights three flicker at full bigness.  In fact, they dim about 25% and then get bright for about 30 minutes. After about 30 minutes the problem goes away.  To me this is too high of a failure rate at circa  6%.

- Of the 52 seven have a different chip and baffle build.  These are COB (chip on board) LEDs.  The majority have a defuser dome over the LED chip, and a slightly different baffle with a hardly-noticeable narrower beam pattern.  The color of those without the defuser is actually nicer.  However, those without the defuser turn on later when using the dimmer from the off position, and increasing brightness.  Once lit, you reduce the dim.  I dislike that the same item, with the same SKU would have different components and build.

I will be returning 3 for being defective and 7 for being inconsistent.

Overall, I am very satisfied and have bought 5 spare units for the house.  I will update this rating if my experience warrants a better or worse rating.  For now  FOUR STARS * * * * .

p.s.
I have also bought 18 of the 4" version.  Those do not tilt as much unless you cut off clips in the back, and still, while perfect for a flat ceiling, I could not use them on slope ceilings.  Again, they have a perfect color temperature even at dim levels.

Also, for high quantity purchases like mine, have your electrician order these from Home Depot, and you will save circa 10% over the $45/unit price.

1st off these lights are fantastic; they are bright and can be dimmed, there is color, and lots of it, and they are energy efficient. Everything works as advertised. However the reason they don't get a 5 star is the control interaction. When I first used the lights, grabbing the iPhone, bringing up the app, and clicking on or off was kinda neat. But I have come to realize that method is a bit short of total satisfaction. My phone must be locked for various reasons; that extends the time it takes to turn on or off the lights. Nor do I leave my phone on at night; so to turn the lights on in the morning, I have to wait for start-up and log-on. I understand Phillips has announced that a separate device will be available this year that equates to a off-on switch. We'll see how that is, and how much it cost.

Also, there is the suggestion to use IFTTT for alerting or scheduling. Right now, there are lots of conversations about the security aspect of IFTTT. With the recent OpenSSL vulnerability (HeartBleed), I'm more than a bit hesitant to link these various apps together in one place. So, I'm going to stay away from the functionality for awhile.

Overall, the lights are really nice, flexible, and just plain cool.

These downlights look great. They produce an amazing amount of light, and the trim looks really nice. It looks much better than the standard can lighting trim. Also, the 3000K color that I purchased matches 3000K bulbs from other manufacturers very well. The only issue I've experienced is that they do make some noise when they are controlled with a dimmer, even one meant for LED bulbs. I purchased the Lutron Ariadni dimmers to go with these, and the buzz is noticeable if you listen closely. To me, it's not bad enough to be much of an issue, but it is worth mentioning. Also, I have bought a few of these over the past few months, and the later builds (I received some at the end of February 2016) do seem to be quieter, although not silent.

I purchased the 6 light chandelier in black for my entry way and I can say that I'm satisfied so far.  The look is amazing and exactly what I was looking for, however the installation could have gone easier.

Upon opening the main shipping box I was immediately impressed with the packaging.  It was double boxed and fortified with Styrofoam.  I removed the foam to find the light double wrapped in plastic with additional cardboard to lock it in place.

After unwrapping and reviewing the minimal instructions, I immediately took notice of the label for the "hot" or positive wire.  The wire doesn't have an actual printed label on the jacket like most other wires.  Instead, this one is labeled with a cheap sticker that could easily come off, which in my case did (Houston, TX on an 90 day with 100% humidity).  Thank goodness I had marked it myself with a Sharpe or else I could have wired the light backwards.

Once everything was wired up, I noticed some of the "jewels" for lack of a better word, had became tangled during installation.  I carefully untangled each one to see that I was now missing a few.  Luckily they wound up on the floor under the ladder, however I couldn't find the wire that holds them together.  After looking for an eternity, I decided to give up and use a small piece of guitar string I had laying around, which worked fine.

All in all the light looks amazing, which is what it's there for right?  I just wish the "jewels" were put together a little stronger and the manufacturer would label the jacket itself instead of using stickers .

I would buy this item again.

This thing is pretty great.  The light is bright, even, and the color is very clear.  The various modes (color temperature) are nice to work with, and I find myself adjusting it to warmer temperatures later in the day, to match the outside lighting. Similarly, the various brightness settings are great, but what can you say about brightness beyond, "Yup, it's got a dimmer!".

The base is a bit large, but necessarily so, if you want to be able to swing and adjust the light position without grasping the base as well.

I'll complain every so slightly about the angles that the light itself rotates: It's limited in that it cannot rotate 360 around, to point the lighting surface straight up -- it stops at about 30 degrees short of vertical on either side.  For the most part, that's no major issue, In fact, I only noticed when I wanted to point the light directly up because there was a spider up on the ceiling and optimal lighting was needed for squishing and/or capture.

An unrelated complaint -- the touch controls.  They're great, and it's pretty neat to have this sort of interface for a desk lamp, but every button press generates a loud beep.  Turning the brightness and/or temperature up or down is five or six beeps, depending on how much adjusting you want to do.

Great light, very bright. I have just a few problems with this product.
1) Wiring harness has to be purchased separately, and the instructions for installation are horrible. The wiring kit is a mess for anybody who doesn't have a PhD in electrical engineering. Also, the wiring harness was too short for me to run the switch into the cab of my xterra, and required cutting, soldering, and heat shrinking additional lengths of wire.
2) Aluminum mounting brackets are flimsy and cheap. They bend way too easily and don't take impact very well.
3) it's been one month, and my light bar already has water condensation in the lens. I've only been through one car wash and one rainstorm. Unacceptable water leakage.

That said, the light still works and produces a pretty good beam. For less than $50 total it's not a bad deal-- just beware of the above problems.

Could use some better transitions from straight to curve, but makes good supplimental lighting.
