Lithonia LightingC 232 120 GESB Two-Light T8 Fluorescent Ce

After reading all the reviews I almost went and spent $50+ on a similar item. But luckily I found a couple of reviews from professionals that clued me in that there's is really nothing wrong with this outside of the occasional lemon.Package arrived on time and double packed (product box packed inside of an amazon box). No damage to the packing and no damage to the product.No directions included, though I assume that's intentional because it's fairly easy to understand after 30 sec of looking at all of it. And this fixture is obviously not intended for your everyday buyer to throw up without a little effort behind it. But, with a little intuition and a couple tools this went together super easy. The housing had some slight bending that was super easy to bend back with a pair of pliers (this is the only reason I removed one star). The terminals snapped right into place without issue. The end pieces snapped right on with a little force. The cutouts to bring the electrical line into the housing pushed out with my thumb with little effort after using the back of a screwdriver to bang it a couple of times. Brought the line in and screwed the whole thing into place. Connect 2 wires and a ground. The face plate went in without issue and is secured with a clip. Works just fine on day1.If it burns out early i'll come back and update. Otherwise there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. ~25 bucks and ~15 mins to replace my recessed bathroom fixture? Sounds like a great dead to me!

Typical design and build for this type of light fixture. No surprises. If you have installed one of this style before you should have no trouble with this. A little on the flimsy side, but this creates the super lightweight feature I really appreciated when installing this. I put an S hook (not supplied) in the small hole on top each end and hooked to my existing chains. I put a couple cheap Walmart LED lights in it, and it produces a ton of light for my carport.

I ordered two of these at the same time, and they came in two different shipments. They both did not come in with instructions at all. I had to look at the ballasts we were replacing to get an idea of the setup although they were different being different brands and we were replacing our T12 ballast to a T8. The first ballast came in with one of the slots not lined up where the prongs of the fluorescent lights go in. We had to pull out the black circular piece and align it with the white plastic piece but damaged it slightly trying to do this. The prongs went in and they did turn regardless of the damage. The second ballast came in with one corner of the ballast completely bent and distorted making the metal housing difficult to assemble. We straighten this out using pliers. The housing of the second piece was also wider than the first one. Why if they were the exact same model!! Because they are next to each other, you can tell the difference. Another problem that we ran into was that the slots were not snapping onto the housing tightly causing them to snap off when you were trying to insult the bulbs. Anyhow, we did get both up and are working, but the product did have its defects and the material is not of high quality.

Exactly like I wanted. However you mite find the 48" bulbs increasingly hard to find. No instructions but it did have the essential wiring diagram.

So this device is easy to put together but as others have said it is very flimsy. I use it in my workshop but I wouldn't put it anywhere else like the garage or laundry room. The instructions are on the outside of the box and not inside it but for me it was easy to figure out how it goes together. The metal is very flimsy so be careful. Works and looks good after I finally got it installed. Honestly given the quality it should be more like a 10 dollar item not a 20.
