hykolity1x4 FT LED Flat Panel Selectable CCT Flush Mount Light,4800lm,48W Dimmable Ultra Slim Ceiling Light, 3000K/4000K/5000K Built-in Driver Surface Mount Lights for Kitchen Garage,4 Pack

After several weeks of usage, I've been generally pleased with the Hykolity LED Flat Panel Lights. Here's a breakdown of what I found:Pros:Selectable CCT: One of the most standout features of this product is the ability to select the color temperature. Whether you want a warm ambiance with the 3000K, a neutral tone with 4000K, or a cool daylight setting with the 5000K, the choice is yours. This versatility is especially useful when installing in different areas of the house to fit the desired mood.Bright and Efficient: Offering a strong 4800lm output with just 48W, these lights are both powerful and energy-efficient. They have illuminated my kitchen and garage spectacularly.Sleek and Modern Design: The ultra-slim edge-lit design gives the light panel a very modern and sleek look. It's unobtrusive, fitting seamlessly into contemporary interiors.Dimmable Feature: It's always a bonus when lighting can be dimmed to fit the occasion or time of day, and these panels deliver on that front.Easy to Install: The built-in driver makes the installation process more straightforward than some other options in the market. It comes with all the necessary mounting equipment.Cons:Durability Concerns: While I haven't personally faced any issues yet, a friend mentioned that one of the two panels they bought started flickering after a few months. I hope it's an isolated incident and not a recurring quality control issue.Price Point: While the lights offer a good range of features, there are competitors in the market offering similar capabilities at a slightly lower price.Conclusion:Overall, the Hykolity LED Flat Panel Lights are an excellent buy for those seeking modern, efficient, and versatile lighting solutions. While there are some concerns about durability, the product shines (pun intended) in almost every other aspect. It would suit anyone looking for a feature-rich lighting solution for their kitchen, garage, or other spaces.

We wanted to replace an aging florescent fixture in our spare bedroom with one that provided a little more light. This fit the bill perfectly. The one we were replacing was a 2 tube fixture mounted on a vaulted ceiling.The light arrived in great shape, with no damage. The installation was a little difficult due to the height of the ceiling (I was working on scaffolding) and I had to install drywall anchors towards the ends of the unit. If I had to do this on a ladder, it would have been an even larger pain.Once installed, the light worked perfectly. I like the safety clips that secure the diffuser. It should prevent the diffuser from falling in the event of an earthquake. While having carpet installed in our loft, the vibration from the kicker vibrated the diffuser for the light in the utility room loose and it fell off and broke. I will be replacing that fixture with one of these, as well. (I just placed the order!)The light output from this fixture brightens up the room quite a bit. Colors appear to be brighter and more natural. There is no buzzing or flickering in the light. It is NOT installed on a dimmer, just a normal wall switch. I figure I will never have to change bulbs in that room again.06/02/21: Received and installed the second one in the utility room. This one was more of a pain to install as I did not have the upward slope of the ceiling to give me the working room. Trying to get the lead wires connected while holding the fixture in place was the major problem. If they made the hole for the wires larger, it would be easier to attach the fixture to the ceiling, then make the connections and shove them back through the hole. I also noticed that the soldered wire connections were coated with RTV to aid in keeping them attached.

I bought this panel to install under the overhead cabinets I bought and installed. The cabinets are up high enough (about 6'-6" off the floor) that the panel fits nicely under the 13" deep cabinets. I will soon install a desk under the area to make it a bench for my electronics work.I would have preferred that the panel offer a 5-color option. I know there are some out there, but a trend I see in these color-controllable LED lights these days is that they omit 3500K. I find this odd because when the wife gets involved in choosing the color of the lights, 3500K is a good compromise between 3000K (women) and 4000K (men). But just about all of the vendors blow through 3500K. It's either 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K. I don't get it, but I needed something under there. These Hykolity panels seemed like a good value for the money.Some people reading this review may be familiar with similar panels that Costco was selling a while back with the "Artika" brand. There are quite a few reviews of them on YouTube. The common complaint about them was that the lamp is so long, that the hanger bracket lets the ends of the panel float, causing the panel to sag a bit at the ends. Looking at the Hykolity panel, it appears to be identical to the Artika except that the hanger bracket is wider than the Artika bracket. Other than that, the panels themselves look to be identical.And incidentally, both the Artika and this Hykolity panel LED light are NOT "flush mount." Due to the nature of the mounting scheme, there will always be a gap between the surface you are mounting to and the top of the panel light, about 3/16". If this bothers you, I guess you could nail some trim around the perimeter of the light, although I suspect that the gap provides some degree of air flow to the top side of the light to help cool the panel down from its 50W power dissipation.When I got everything wired up, including a Maxxima slide dimmer (model MEW-DM600A), I found that the dimming control was awful. Flicker, I could tap the slider and the lights badly flickered, unable to set a minimum dim level to the 5% level that Hykolity said can be reached (it was more like 75% minimum brightness with the Maxxima dimmer), and so on. In short, something was not right between the panel and this dimmer. Which is at fault? I have a couple of old dimmers lying around, so I unsnapped my Wago connectors to remove the Maxxima dimmer and patched in a Cloudy Bay dimmer (model CBLD001WH). Same result: the panel and dimmer did not like each other.I then got out my last junk box dimmer, an old Leviton SureSlide (Model 6672-1LW) and patched it in. This time, it works. No more flicker or jumping around. Success! The only drawback to the Leviton SureSlide dimmer is that there is no "trim" control for the minimum light. The minimum setting does NOT go to zero as Leviton says it will. However, it goes low enough that I am quite happy with it. If I want the light to go completely off, isn't that what the switch is for?The panel puts out a lot of light over my desk area, and I can smoothly control the level with the Leviton dimmer. The 3 colors choices demonstrate to my eye why 5000K is a better color choice if you are concerned about color in your environment. Both the 3000K and 4000K make my light gray walls look yellow and brown, respectively, while the 5000K setting shows the walls to be gray.
