Griffin Semi Flush

[Size: 3-Light, Color: Palladian Bronze]
Received item on time and in good condition. Quality is good. Unfortunately the Palladian Bronze color -- at least the one I received is actually BLACK - I am keeping it anyway as I'm not a perfectionist and tired of searching. Used 3 x 100W bulbs to replace a builder grade florescent ceiling light. Like it sooo much more than that and provides lots of light!

I felt this light was pricier than some of the others I purchased for my upstairs bedrooms, but it is so worth every penny. It’s a beautiful light. I love that it’s semi-flush. The quality is excellent. The instructions to install are great. My hubby got it up in less than an hour.

I searched for a long time. Not sure why I have trouble finding lighting choices for our century home. I try to keep things traditional to the age of the home. Had my eye on this with the clear glass, ordered from another seller and they could not fulfill my order. Good thing, because in the meantime I decided that I likes the frosted, white glass better. The glare from the clear shade and having to buy special bulbs changed my mind. This light is stunning. The style blends into our home well, classic with a bit of edgy? Not sure I’m describing it well, as I am challenged in this department, but I do know it looks beautiful. My husband is an engineer and says it’s construction is excellent and was easy for him (he’s got skills) to install. The steel is heavy guage, it’s not cheaply made, and worth the price. I’m so happy with my purchase. I’d like to get the pendulum light in this collection for my bathroom cosmetic vanity desk.

Easy to install once you figure out the stacking order of the parts that thread onto the coupling. Order i used was end cap placed to the coupling, then the threaded rod screwed into the coupling with a dab of blue locktite and snugged up with a pliers,then the hollow barrel, followed by the other end cap, large steel washer, large white rubber washer. ……….. now the secret to the easy install. The globe hole is larger than the threaded rod. Large enough to slip an o ring over the rod to hold all the above pieces on the rod in order . By doing so you can then mount the fixture without having to fumble around putting all the above pieces in place while installing the glass globe and all the pieces below the globe at the same time. ……once the wiring was connected and the base bolted to the ceiling it is alot easier to install the glass globe on the stem tight to the big white rubber washer held on the stem by the o ring, then the little white rubber washer, the little steel washer, the hex jam nut, the decorative bottom cap , and finally the bottom threaded ball. Much easier to use the oring to hold the parts above the globe on the stem , mount the fixture to the ceiling , and then mount the globe and parts below the globe to complete the install. I did not have an oring so i used clear plastic tubing from the hardware store and cut a 1/8” width off the end. The i.d. Was 1/4” . Whatever you use to hold the top pieces in place as described in the order above when your done test the globe fit so the globe center hole slides over the oring or in my case the small band of clear 1/4” i.d. Plastic hose. I stretched the hose a bit by putting it over the end of a needle nose pliers and opening the jaws up . Made it alot easier to slide over and down the threaded rod to the large rubber washer. The last tip is to measure the two bolts that hold the lamp base to the ceiling and get the bolts mounted and tightened before you even mount the base plate to the ceiling electric box. We used 75 watt equivalent bulbs , 13 watts each, 2700 kelvin , 1100 lumin G.E. Bulbs from Lowe’s and also put the lights on a dimmer. Bulbs were plenty bright and in our case 100 watt bulbs would have been too much. If you follow the above assembly ….. it will also be a whole lot easier to remove the globe for cleaning or replacing bulbs . Everything from the big white rubber washer to the ceiling will stay in place by the oring or small slice of clear plastic tubing, making the globe much easier to remove and put back up. The last two pictures are of the flush mount fixture( oring or tubing works on flush or semi flush threaded rod center assembly) with the bulb bases if you look closely you can see the clear piece of tubing on the center threaded rod next to the rubber washer that is just above where the white glass globe will be when light is completely assembled. An o ring of the right size would work just as well .

Quality is outstanding. The finish and quality make this light stand out for maximum visual appeal. Use clear "warm" (2700 scale) LED bulbs for best lighting effects. Perfect size for 8 foot ceiling in kitchen when the larger and lower hanging 21" wide doesn't work.

Beautiful light; it replaced a flush-mount fabric shade light that directed all the light to my dark-wood floors. I wanted to reflect light off the white ceiling and crown molding. I've owned Quoizel fixtures before and was pleased to see the same quality and well-composed instructions. This piece is not easy to install solo, however. The glass bowl isn't easily removed and re-attached, but you can replace bulbs and/or clean the glass without ever removing it. I only put two out of three bulbs in, but I'll likely get a third Philips Hue bulb to balance it out. Great, quality fixture at an awesome price.

Contractor brother-in-law (who helped to install, even though it was easy) pronounced this a very good quality fixture. Provides more than adequate lighting in a foyer with 12-foot ceiling; handled CREE led bulbs with no problem. Sturdy; with just enough style for people to notice and appreciate without it getting dated or annoying in a couple of years. Looked at every local designer lighting shop and most of the online outlets (Lumens, Lightology, etc) and happy to find something both my husband and I liked, and then to find it on Amazon - bonus.

Really a lovely light. Good quality. Good design - looks just like it did in the pictures. Love the way it looks in the family room. Some fixtures only look good from the side (as pictured by most manufacturers) and don't look great from down below. But this light looks great from all angles. The only thing I was worried about was the glass dome. It looks off white/dingy in teh picture. But at least one review states that it looks white in person. I found that with 40W standard bulbs it really does look off white/dingy in person. And since our family room has very little natural light, that's a big negative for me. But if you don't mind using three 60W bulbs for a very bright look, then the dome does look almost white and gives the room a crisper/cleaner look.
