Square led ceiling light - 36W6500K

A very simple ceiling light, that is very bright. This is a very straightforward, plastic LED ceiling light. Build wise, it's perfectly OK. The soldering is not the prettiest, but perfectly adequate for the task. (photos). The light itself is an array of 256 LEDs in a 16 x 16 grid. I have included a photo of the LEDs with 30v powering them. This is to see if they are well matched, with no weak spots. As you an hopefully see, all of the LEDs are of equal brightness. This is, a very good thing, and means that they should all consume similar power, and consequently there should be no weak link. (Photo 3). The mounting is a very simple slide mount. It works well, with all the electrical contacts being made from copper/brass, as you would hope. Putting the light onto a meter, you can see that at 240v it is pulling 34.6w. Well within the range I would expect for a light labelled as 36w. (Photo 1). It comes with 2 x screws and wallplugs, and 2 x 'rocker' type connectors to join the mounting bracket to your mains wiring. I'm not a big fan of these connectors, (although they are perfectly safe) and connected mine with 221 type Wagos. It's very easy to fit. The light itself is very light at 300g, so should easily mount to any type of ceiling. It does need to sit flush against the ceiling, so if you have a ceiling rose, you will need to remove it. Once up, it's not the most stylish, but it is bright. (Photo 5). At a colour temperature of 4000k, it certainly isn't warm and cosy, but it gives a good neutral white light, best suited to a kitchen or bathroom. (It is actually brighter than it appears in the photo, I had to tone down the exposure, to stop it completely washing out the picture.) Overall, I'm very pleased with the light. It is rather utilitarian, but is perfect for my kitchen. Like most of these lights the LEDs will, more than likely, last a very long time. What will eventually fail first, will be a component in the internal driver circuit. Hopefully this will not happen for a good while, but, if, or when this occurs I shall update this review accordingly. I hope you found this review helpful.

I bought this unit to replace an old Ikea pendant fitting which weighed about 8 tons and consumed a halogen bulb every six minutes. I also wanted to bring more of an office feel to the room, as it is no longer a bedroom but, well, an office. I also sought out a fitting which would put out a bit more light than your ordinary flush fitting. As you can see this one is rated at 3240 LM. Let me tell you - they ain't playin'. I fitted it relatively easily. As it is extremely lightweight, a couple of screws straight through the plaster into the laths was enough. The one obstacle is that that the instructions are little generic. Once you work out that you have to *slide* the central bit sideways to detach it, the rest was a breeze. It's supplied with those connectors that you squeeze to release, so no need even for a screwdriver for the connecting stage. But the best bit was when I turned it on. Yes, I was expecting it to be a little brighter. Turns out 3240 LM is a LOT of LMs. As I type this my pupils are the size of full stops. My wife, who unwisely joined me for the unveiling, still has after images. WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram went down. NASA had to turn some of its satellite cameras off. Moths are coming from as far away as Russia. What I'm trying to say is - it's bright. As you'd expect from the color temperature, it's also a very white light, which gives the room much more of an office feel. And actually, it's good to work by. I have had to do a bit more cleaning though, as you can now see stuff. So in summary - if you are looking for coziness, or for your pupils not to be the size of full stops, look elsewhere. If you want some serious, serious lighting power in an elegant, small package, you've found it.

It's great! 4.5/5 Small, lightweight, very easy to install and to remove to clean when needed. My favourite things about it are its brightness and simplicity. I took half a star off because the contacts between the base (part affixed to the ceileing) and the light unit itself were a bit fickle and appeared to need to sit quite precisely. That's great if your ceilings are flat, but perhaps might be fiddly otherwise. The value is excellent though. I paid £13 and am very happy with it.

Brilliant bright lights easy put up worth the money

In our bathroom we had a 2D type light fitting that seemed to like eating bulbs for lunch. I'd be replacing them every 8 weeks or so, and at over £5 a go it was getting very expensive, very quickly. I saw this light on Amazon and thought I'd give it a try, and, I've got to be honest, for £18 I wasn't expecting much. Oh boy, was I wrong! The only thing that I would criticise are the terminal blocks that come with it. They aren't very good, and I replaced them with screw type terminal blocks. Apart from dealing with the vagaries of a UK radial lighting circuit where we seem to have far more wires than necessary, where I had to re-terminate them and push them up in to the ceiling void, this light was a doddle to install. 2 screws and then slide the light unit in to place. Simple. It's at least double the brightness of our old 36W 2D light fitting and gives off a bright white light which is absolutely perfect for the bathroom, but would be equally at home anywhere else. Having said that, they do look a little utilitarian, so I probably wouldn't use them in a lounge/living room or a bedroom, but I've since bought more of these for the top of the stairs (on the landing), two for the attic/loft, two for my home office, and once I've finished my shed, I'll be buying a couple more for that as well. I would highly recommend this light fitting. For the price, you just can't go wrong.

Too small for me, good quality.

Very bright light; perfect for our kitchen and easy to fit

A really good powerful light, but would question if suitable for a bathroom. The light fitting when connected doesn’t sit flush against the ceiling, but hangs slightly all around its edges as it’s only connection to its mounting is at its centre. As such, it is likely to get condensation sitting in it and that’s a concern for electrical safety. Any other room but a bathroom and it’s a great light.
