Smartwares Ceiling Light, Brown, 50 cm, 4 x E27 Bulb Fittings, Suitable for LED Bulbs

Easiest lights to fit ever!! I read the reviews and was very worried about clipping on the shade, 100% agree instructions are terrible, But I've added a photo I'm not sure if other people are trying to clip them on the outside they actually go on the inside and do just clip in, you do one side first then push up and the other goes in, it comes out just as easy, I hope this helps some people as they are a very clean looking flush light i would definitely buy them again and they are a fantastic price

Very poor lighting and on top of that it is a fly magnet and when the light is on you can see all the dead flys. It’s disgusting!!We had bought another one for our bedroom but never took out of the box after we put up our hallway light,Would not recommend and would not buy again.Have to now buy 2 more lights for hallway and bedroom. And an u opened light to throw in the bin

For those struggling to fit the shade, ignore the instructions (helpful picture of shade moving towards fitting with up arrow as the last step before switching on!) - nothing is just going to pop on and stay there. If you get eye level right up to the ceiling you can get the far side hooked under the fitting, then use a couple of fingers to pull the shade wire towards you and hook over the other fitting and it's done. No broken wires or deformed shades.Truly terrible instructions, but decent quality light fitting and looks good up. Be aware the seam of the shade (grey 40cm at least) is fairly visible with the light on, and can't be moved relative to the frame - so check the position it's going to be in before fixing the fitting to the ceiling.

If your thinking," I'll get these shades..how hard could be to fit these'? DONT .My wife has never heard me swear so much doing a what should be a simple job..Whoever designed these shades and fitments should really find another line of work. Struggled firstly to get access to the connector which is snubbed shut with tiny bits you can hardly see..then like all the other reviews( which I didn't bother reading before buying).. clipping the actual shade to the fitment was just a nightmare..9 hours it took me to do four lights and I'm quite good at DIY..the sweat was pouring out me and I was screaming with rage and disbelief that some moron could design these.. the only good thing to say is they look great when up.

Arrived wet. That's the delivery companies fault. I dried it out and it's working fine now.Easy to install. Some people have no idea what they are talking about in the comments.No instructions are needed. Dont forcefully bend the light because you want it flush to ceiling, that isn't the design, buy a different light and dont give a bad review because your jerry rig didnt work out.Looks great up!

UPDATE:In the end I re-purchased these lights as I had already bought multiple bulbs for 3 lights. To fit the shade, clipping in one side first did work after a number of tries. The instructions state the shade can be pushed straight on, this is not the case. Using this method the gap between the shade and the ceiling is minimised. I will now rate these lights 4/5 instead of 2/5. I have added some photos to show how these look both on and off.----------------------------------------------Seems to be a design flaw with these lights. The shade will not snap into the lighting fixture unless the wire frame is manually flexed upwards, however, then you will find that there is a 1-2cm gap between the ceiling which lets out an irregular circle of light. I did find an alternate method which involved clipping in one side and pushing sideways and up but ended up breaking the wire frame on two shades (frame held together with tiny welds), so have sent back for a refund (thank you Amazon).Light can be seen through the coloured cloth around the sides, which I was not expecting. It does look nice when not switched on though!

The light itself is a faithful representation of the advertising illustrations. Easy to fit? I don’t think so. A trained rat on a tightrope would have a better chance! Fitting the mounting bracket was easy, so was making the connections and fitting the bulb. The instructions then say ‘clip shade over bracket’ to complete the job……No way Jose.The shade hugs the ceiling so close it’s impossible to see what clips over what and you can’t get your fingers between the shade and the ceiling to feel your way through.I gave up and called my son in. He eventually did it so all ok (as the led bulb has 30,000 hours life in it before needing replacement) :-)Apart from the moans though it is an attractive bit of kit and well worth the fumbling to get there!

I shopped around a lot before settling on this one and I’m very pleased with the result. The fixing of the bulb unit to the ceiling was straightforward but the fixing of the lampshade to the bulb unit is rather difficult, although I did intentionally bend mine a little to ensure it sat flush with the ceiling, otherwise there is a 5mm gap between the top of the shade and the ceiling, bending it made it flush but makes it more difficult to fit, once the clips have engaged it’s fine though. The opaque circle of white plastic at the base of the shade is thick enough to disperse the light and feels pretty well made, the fabric surround is also constructed well. I saw similar ones in B&Q that were of inferior quality and more than twice the price.
