Product Description
Indoor LightingKichler Lighting 42159OZ Bellamy 5-Light Halogen Chandelier, Olde Bronze Review
I just finished installing the this light and if I have one thing to say about it, it's that the instructions are the most inadequate, terrible instructions ever. Buying a $500 light one would expect to have some comprehensive instructions on how to install it. My only saving grace? I have a bachelor's and graduate degree in engineering. I saw what needed to be done and did it even though I didn't have any validation what-so-ever from the instructions that I was taking the correct steps.What sort of things were left out? Well, the wires have to be threaded up through the rods, and the cover plate that goes against the ceiling has to be threaded through as well, BEFORE you connect the wires to the ceiling. The 10' of extra wire needs to be cut off before making connections. The wires need to be threaded through the ball joint and the connections actually need to be made BEFORE attaching the bracket to the electrical box, otherwise the connectors and excess wire will be below the bracket, obstructing movement of the ball joint and probably preventing the cover plate from attaching. None of this is remotely mentioned or pictured in the page of worthless instructions, even though these are all crucial steps. The instructions pretty much consist of, "connect the black wire to the black wire and white wire to the white wire". Gee, thanks, Kichler. If I didn't even know that, why would I be attempting to install the light myself, and how would I possibly figure out the rest of the stuff that you left out of the process? So irked by this.
Other than that, this is a beautiful light and I am so happy to have replaced the mid-90s brass and glass fixture that was there before. It produces beautiful light. As long as you are mechanically inclined, or are going to hire someone who is mechanically inclined to install this, you'll be fine. If you're not the best at handyman-type stuff, this is not the light I'd try installing myself.
