Hamilton Hills Square LED Panel Recessed in Ceiling Tile Light or Ceiling or Thin Flush Mount Lighting in Laundry Garage Workshop Office | DLC Certified Bright Downlightæ(24" x 24")

I used this light to replace a 20-year old square fluorescent light fixture. First point: your ceiling must be smooth and absolutely flat in order to flush mount. The mounting plate is thin and mounts hard and fast against the ceiling, so every unevenness in your ceiling will translate into a bent mounting plate. If the mounting plate is not flat, then you will not be able to mount the light onto the mounting clips. Also, there are many wires that you must stuff into your ceiling. It works easier if you can put someone in the attic above the fixture, pulling up on the cable set while you mount the light from a ladder below. As someone else states, no excess wires will fit between the fixture and the ceiling surface --- there is no space at all. Why? Because it is a flush mount! The light itself projects out about 1" from the ceiling surface. The illumination itself is awesome. The light quality and essence is similar to the fluorescent light. However, measured in foot-candles, it is twice as bright as my old fluorescent light fixture. I highly recommend this light. I would definitely buy again.

No directions but mostly straightforward. Keep in mind that flush mount bracket can warp if overly tightened, resulting in alignment issues. Have a longer pocket knife and needle nose pliers to adjust the hooks, be careful as the metal tabs can break off if manipulated too much. Just use minor adjustments and hook away side to support while fitting/aligning brackets nearest to you.

After installation the light is beautiful. To install light is a bit of a problem if you are using it as a flush mount.

I needed a solution to light my new basement workshop, my electrition friend recommended this panel. I was impressed with how easy it was to install. It looks great in my space and does not have any bad flickering. I would recommend this to any DIY or professional. Also, its on prime shipping!

Great product. Straight forward installation. Hamilton Hills is an outstanding company with great customer service.

It’s very hard to align hooks to secure proper installation.

Love the lighting.Its very bright.

The light was straightforward to install, but the supplied 1/4" drywall anchors were awful. 2 out of 4 snapped upon install so they would just spin when trying to screw in. I used an alternate brand drywall anchor and everything went smoothly. I also added washers to all 6 screws to ease fitment. I knew this going in that its a 5-wire design with separate 0-10V style dimming control. I didn't have the patience to run extra wires to the unit but I may install a Lutron "Pow pak" in the future: https://www.amazon.com/Lutron-RMJ-5T-DV-B-120-277V-Wireless-Dimming/dp/B00JV3F0B6 in the ceiling at some point and use a remote control like the: https://www.amazon.com/Lutron-3-Button-Wireless-Lighting-PJ2-3BRL-WH-L01R/dp/B00KLAXFQ0
