Lithonia Lighting Cast OLCFM 15 DDB Ceiling Flush Mount Outdoor LED Decorative Light Fixture for Porch, Patio, Garage, Sidewalk, and Walkway Black Bronze, Pack of 1

PRO:-inexpensive.-solid construction.-uses conventional brackets and conventional wiring.-BRIGHT, like bordering on absurdly so. several times as much light as my previous porch light which used 2x CCFL bulbs.-solid back half provides a good amount of thermal mass to heat-sink the LEDs and driver.-housing closes up tightly (twist-lock, with a set screw), and should keep pests from intruding.CON:-tricky to separate the front and back halves. There is a set screw which needs to be loosened or removed, but even then it is quite snug.-finish is fairly fragile, mine arrived with several scratches in the metal. Thankfully, the light is mounted high and outdoors, so I simply colored the scratches in with a Sharpie marker, and from the ground it looks fine.-slightly smaller than I had anticipated based on the measurements. I guess this is my fault, as I didn't measure my existing porch light.

We intalled it in our garage. They are a modest sizem not to big or small. It makes the room look modern.

Light arrived with slight damage (picture) but I used it anyway because no one will see that high up. I found the piece in the box, so this may be a packing issue. I replaced another LED fixture that I’d purchased at a big box store. It seems like that was just a few years ago, so I was disappointed with the short life. This new one is more expensive, but does appear to be better quality on the LED components. Time will tell. Long life is a critical part of the valuation proposition. If something goes wrong, you must replace the entire light, not just a bulb.Another reviewer mentioned the importance of avoiding water intrusion, and another mentioned not receiving a seal. My parts list did not indicate a seal. Installation requires a bead of silicone caulk, which is not included. Have a tube of caulk handy when you plan to open the box and install. One reviewer said an electrician could not separate the light - that is tricky, and required a second set of hands. With two people, it was fairly easy. Several have mentioned the VERY small piece that screws in to secure the cover. My biggest fear was losing that.The supplied screws were too thick to mount the cross bar to the existing box. Luckily, I could reuse the old screws. Wiring is very obvious and easy to connect.My biggest challenge was getting this flush to the porch ceiling. Instructions say leave 1.25” of bolt exposed. That was set, right from the box. I wound up reducing that some, to get the whole unit closer to the ceiling. Still, it was not flush. This might be a function of my ceiling flatness (lack of) but that is not obviously an issue, and old light was much flusher. Again, since this is mounted so high, I concluded it did not matter. As I had a brand new tube of silicone caulk, I just used that liberally to fill in the gaps. This forced me to wait overnight for the caulk to dry completely before I finished the job, because I did not want to break the seal while twisting on the light cover.Glad that the light worked. Toyed with the idea of testing it somehow before installing - with all of the caulk, it would be a big pain to discover a problem AFTER installation.The design looks great - clean and modern. The light was bright the first night, before I added the cover. Even with the cover, I’m sure this will be ample light for my 65 square foot entryway porch. Again, the LED component appeared superior to the one I replaced, including a greater number of diodes. Now I just need them to last at least as long as advertised (maker touts a 5-year warranty).

I purchased these lights for the front and back porch. Since they are mounted so high, we needed something that didn't require frequent light bulb changes. When I received them, I installed them on the same day. When night time came, I was very pleased with the light output and how it looked. I would purchase them again as well as recommend them to friends.

Definitely not 4000k like advertised. I would say it is much closer to 5000-5500k. Maybe not bad for some, but very aggressive for my entry way. I'll be adding a filter to it.

Love it just what I needed very bright for my entrance

Did I mention it’s very bright?! This was easy to replace my original porch light with. Wired it up in about 10 minutes. My wife used to complain about the previous light because she leaves for work in the dark and returns home in the dark. Not anymore! Because, this light is VERY BRIGHT, in case I didn’t mention that before!

I installed this outside a few months ago and it still looks good.

Good quality, good looking fixture. Be careful, the set screw to keep it closed can fall right in! It fits snugly enough that this is of no matter.

They are still working.
