Aero Snail L1697 Modern Style Flush Mount Designers Metal 10-Light Ceiling Lamp Chandelier Lighting Fixure

I love, love, love this light!!! It has a very good feel and produces a “glow” in the room that lights a lot of space while also not being difficult to look directly at. Like other reviews, this light is so much better with a dimmer switch – I’d dare say it’s a must!!! I also used it with “G25 Globe LED Dimmable 7W 60W Vanity Style Soft White 2700K” bulbs – also on Amazon Prime. I posted 2 photos, one with the lights on maximum dim, and the other on full bright. You can see from the walls and the table how much light they provide – it’s awesome.Also, be forewarned that the assembly directions suck and are barely in English, but it’s not very difficult. You must take off the screw and washer from each arm and then screw in each arm into the center section with the nut and washer on the interior side. Once all 10 are screwed in, you have to combine all 10 white wires with the white wire on the base of the light and put a wire nut on it. Then do the same with the 10 black wires and the black wire from the base of the unit (and put a wire nut on that.) Then push everything into the base and put the top back on and then connect the entire light to the ceiling. Having a second person to hold the unit while you make the connection to the ceiling is a must. Again, the assembly is a pain, but given how awesome the light is, I’d re-buy it in a hearbeat. . .the end product is worth the hassle!!

Love this light fixture, fast shipping and arrived well packed. Installation was straight forward. Love that this fixture takes LED bulbs, splurged on the "Edison" style LED bulb. Love, love, love!!Painted with chrome paint, looks great!!

Big and unusual. Very bright with 40w equivalent LED bulbs, so we've installed a dimmer (picture shows bulbs 50% dimmed).The only con is the screws that come with this white chandelier--they are of a chrome color and very visible.We've used a mix of LED bulbs in soft white and daylight: Torchstar LED Dimmable G25 Globe Filament Eye Care Bulb, 5W (60W Equivalent) Decorative Frosted Milky Glass Light BulbAnd installed dimmer Lutron DVCL-153P-WH Diva Dimmer for CFL, LED, Halogen, and Incandescent Dimmable Bulbs, WhiteThe base of this chandelier is too chunky and narrow to my taste, so I've added Westinghouse 10" Molded Plastic Ceiling Medallion for Light Fixtures and Ceiling Fans.

I'd debated whether or not to get this fixture, especially given what appeared to be a difficult assembly process, but when I saw it used in a HGTV renovation show, I decided to go for it. So far, I'm glad I did. One of the older reviews has a link to the manufacturer's assembly instruction video, but since that video was made it appears that the fixture has been re-engineered in a way that greatly simplifies the process. The biggest difference is that only the bottom of the fixture needs to be removed to connect the wiring (there is now no removable top). It helps to have two sets of hands and to use the box as a support during assembly (see picture). It can get a bit tight inside as the arms are attached so it's easiest to hold the nut with a crescent wrench while turning the arm rather than the other way round. I consider the supplied twist wire connectors to be too small and used larger ones, wrapping them in electrical tape rather than the small heat-shrink wrap supplied. When I turned this on for the first time, one of the bulbs didn't light and I was depressed to think I'd have to take the entire thing apart to diagnose the problem. Luckily, reseating the bulb did the trick, and boy, does it look great.

I've been so happy with this light! The price point was amazing based on others I've seen. It doesn't hang low so it was perfect for our shorter ceilings in our older home! We put LED bulbs in it and we've been super happy.

This fixture looks great, mounts close to the ceiling. Have two issues. 1. There were no instruction in the box. All the direction came from a non-English video on their website.Their customer service staff did message me several times (over a 2-3 day period) with photos when images were confusing. 2. It's been challenging to find bulbs and LED dimmers that are compatible with each other. Aero Snail has not responded to my requests for technical support on this. Love the look of the fixture and the recommended bulbs, HATE the buzzing. If anyone has found a solution, please share. If this could be solved, I'd change my rating to 5 Stars. Currently this is a 3.5.

I like this fixture, and would give it 5 stars, but I ran into a problem assembling it. One of the nuts that is used to fasten the arms to the hub was TOO BIG. I had to run to the hardware store to get a smaller one. Fortunately the thread is a common one and I was able to find a suitable nut. We put 40 watt LED dimmable bulbs in the fixture. With 400 watts of lighting, you really do need a dimmer switch. If you want a designer fixture with plenty of light, this is the light for you.

This product looks ok on my kitchen ceiling, however, I was surprised by how involved assembling and wiring it was.The good* Decent looks* Good price pointThe bad* Each spoke must be wired through the center and tightened in a pretty small space. Once all spokes are installed, wires need to be twisted in a bundle and capped. Cap is too small, so I had to use my own* Hardware is quite cheap, with some screws not threaded properly; luckily vendor included a baggie with extras* Overall lamp construction is flimsy

Looks good, gives lots of light. But this is a pain to put together

Hope you like splicing wires. The caps they sent are way to small for the numbers of wires you have to put together. There are no instructions but its pretty self explanatory.Other than the a time consuming assembly it looks good.
