Saint Mossi 9-Lights Modern Chandelier K9 Crystal Light Fixture,Modern Flush Mount Ceiling Light Fixtures Raindrop Chandelier for Dining Room,Living Room, Light Blue Crystal & Chrome Finish

I love this light with the right LED's that are compatible with my dimmer. I like that it only hangs down 15 inches from the ceiling so it works well in an open room with only an 8 foot ceiling. I used nine 4-watt, 3000 color LED's, a color that matches halogen bulbs and it is plenty bright and at the same time allowed dimming to night level brightness. It is spectacular to look at and I love just looking at it. Now the negatives. Took lots of time to install. If you have drywall ceiling, you will have to drill 4 holes and mount it with drywall anchors. But no easy way to put the wiring into the J-box because the plate covers the J-box, so the wires had to be below the J-box inside of the chrome ceiling piece. Each step of the way requires you to get it perfect the first time as once it is installed, it will be very impractical to go back. I soldered the wires before putting on the wire nuts and then taped the wire nuts so no way they could ever come apart on their own. I used temporary wire hangers I made to hold the fixture below while I did the wiring, then removed the temporary hangers and mounted the fixture with the supplied hand installed nuts. Next it took some hours to hang all of the crystals as I had to go up and down the ladder one by one to hang each one and there is more than a hundred to hang. Having a second person to help would have been a big asset. The directions are very lacking in detail and it took days of looking at them to get oriented before I had it all figured out and attempted to install this. So much work that I would never want to consider removing this someday when I move away and I would never want to remove this to paint the ceiling. The end result is definitely a 5-star and really great value. I hope I never have to clean it. Don't put in a kitchen where frying food emits greasy particles into the air that could collect on things like crystals. I am hoping for most cleaning, about once per year, I plan to use a blower from the vac from a distance to blow off minor dust that might accumulate. Also hoping dust does not much accumulate on things close to the ceiling like ceiling fans and such. After I installed the light fixture and before I installed the crystals, I spent an hour with clean microfiber clothes removing all traces of finger prints. I used the included clean cotton gloves to install the crystals to keep finger prints off them as well. Finger printed crystals would attract dust more than clean crystals would. So try to not handle the crystals with bare hands. Most of the weight of this comes from all of the crystals, it weighs around 20 to 22 pounds including crystals. I was able to replace one of the 4 drywall screws with a long strong sheet metal screw that anchored the bracket directly into the roof rafter, so this will never come loose on its own. This is by far the fanciest decoration light in my house and really upgrades my dining room. The main issue with this is trying to figure out how to do it. Once you figure that out, it is rather easy and very satisfying to look at as you add more bulbs and crystals and stand back and look at the progress and watching it progress like doing a painting. A needle nose pliers helps at lot in attaching the buckles on the crystals to the fixture as gloved fingers makes it difficult to manage the tiny buckles.

I just installed this so I am writing this review with it fresh in my mind.- Yes this is a very pretty chandelier, it looks classy and it fits well in my dining room. My old chandelier was hanging and somewhat large which made my room look small.- I installed this myself, I needed a second pair of hands for only one step (installing the chandelier onto the mounting plate, you will need someone to hold the chandelier as you connect the three wires). I do not think you need to hire someone to install this, it's pretty straightforward.1. The mounting plate has 4 screws which attach to the chandelier. One issue is that the screws are not in a fixed position so they will not line up to the chandelier unless the screws are as far out as possible on the mounting plate. Attaching the chandelier and lining up the four screws was the hardest part of assembly, my arms got really tired doing this because I did not initially have the screws on the mounting plate at the right position.2. You need to use the four drywall anchors that are supplied, I screwed on the mounting plate onto the junction box, then I drilled four holes for the drywall anchors using the mounting plate as a guide, then i pushed the drywall anchors into the holes and I drilled the screws directly into the anchors and through the mounting plate (in one step). This seems secure3. I didn't find it too difficult to attach the strands (A-E) because one of the sides of the strands has a clip where you can just hook and click onto the loops.4. For attaching the globes, I used the included chandelier hooks that bend, you can also directly attach the globes without using the bendable chandelier hooks. It isn't as tedious as some people are saying, it wasn't really that bad if you have someone passing you the strands and globes. I didn't bother using gloves, because with gloves it's kind of hard to attach the hooks, although I did avoid touching the crystals especially on row E. You can't really avoid touching the globes to attach them.5. I replaced my switch with this dimmer switch, it was very easy---Lutron Diva LED+ Dimmer for Dimmable LED, Halogen and Incandescent Bulbs with Wallplate | Single-Pole or 3-Way | DVWCL-153PH-WH | White6. I used these bulbs:Dimmable E12 Candelabra LED Bulbs 40W Equivalent, 2700K Warm White, 4W Filament LED Chandelier Light Bulbs, B11 Vintage Edison Clear Candle lamp with Decorative Candelabra Base, Pack of 127. The dimming is perfect without flickering, very smooth and adjustable.8. We are using the light for studying and reading, I actually wouldn't mind more light, perhaps I should have used 60 watt bulbs, but also I picked the warm white temperature bulbs, maybe the bright white would have been a better choice for reading and studying.9. I bought the "used-like new" version, which was about 40-50 bucks cheaper. It was like new, everything was there and it seemed like an unopened box.10. I was concerned the chandelier would be too small, but it's a good size. The quality of crystals seems nice, especially the crystal balls are quite beautiful. I am happy with the purchase and the chandelier looks more expensive that what you pay for it.

This chandelier is stunning, with a timeless design and exceptional craftsmanship. It was easy to install, provides warm, radiant lighting, and adds a touch of luxury to the space. Great quality at a reasonable price—highly recommended!
