Lithonia Lighting 2 Foot LED Light Fixture, Low-Profile LED Wraparound Flush Mount Ceiling Light, 4000K Cool White, 120V, 24-Inch (FMLWL 24 840)

Great little LED light to use in a closet. Worked great for my need, replaced an older fluorescent tube light. Nice bright light. Was easy to wire and install.

I’m very happy with quality of these lights for the price, and they were easy to install. I bought two of these for my garage to replace some outdated fluorescent lights. Two of these provide the perfect amount of light for my standard size two car garage.

I purchased the 24" 300K light. It is very light weight and looks great. The light color is just about perfect in warmth compared to the cold flourescent light I replaced with it. What I think you should know is how this mounts. This is perhaps my first time installing a flush mount light fixture. I replaced a 2-bulb failed flourescent light fixture of the same length in our laundry/mud room. When I removed the old fixture, I discovered they had mounted it using anchors in the drywall ceiling, and the romex wire was just coming through a hole in the drywall as well. I don't like that idea, so I installed a shallow depth 4" round electrical box to contain the wiring and wire connections. I used the screws that came with that box to mount the new light fixture. This is where it got interesting. The romex wire coming through the ceiling was stapled right to a stud there so I cut out the drywall to fit the 4" box and aligned the box mounting holes along the centerline of the ceiling stud. But, when I mounted the light, it was crooked on the ceiling because it is made to install onto the screws, then twist so the pan head screws hold the fixture and you then tighten the screws down. Trying to get the electrical box aligned so that the light fixture would be mounted straight on the ceiling after that twist action was quite a feat, one I wouldn't like to repeat. That's not the fault of the light fixture but I'm not sure how you could mount it straight if your existing electrical box screw holes aren't aligned the way this fixture is designed. Hope that makes sense. Outside that nasty adventure, this light looks fantastic! It is bright, warm and best of all, dead silent.

The issue that I was dealing with, was that the 4' fluorescent fixtures in my primary bedroom closets were having bulb and/or ballast issues. Why not replace the fixtures with something more efficient anyway? I was already familiar with Lithonia Lighting, as I've purchased some of their lighting products in the past, so it seemed like the Lithonia Lighting FMLWL 48 840 LED Flush Mount Wraparound Light (4-Foot, 4000k, Bright White) would be a decent choice. When I was taking down the old light fixtures, I noticed an issue... no J-boxes. Instead, Romex was poking through a hole in the sheetrock. Ugh. At least a ground wire was coming through, too, though it's a bad thing when that's the kind of thing that makes you happy. Did I mention that I was wall-mounting these? Because the Romex was coming through holes drilled in the framing over the closet door, there wasn't a quick or easy way to add a J-box in the same spot. I opted instead to go with a flush mount. There's a small, circular knock-out on the back of the light fixture, so I cut a grommet for that hole, pulled the white/black/green fixture wires back into the housing, and hooked everything up. It works, but there are issues. It appears that Lithonia Lighting just took an existing fluorescent housing, glued in a DC power adapter, and put in a 5050 light strip. Theoretically this makes this light easy to repair or modify, if that's your thing. Aside from the massive amount of wasted space, and shockingly high BOM cost vs. retail price markup, the location of the light strip makes it difficult to hide the wiring in a non-traditional installation like mine. Everything is downlight from the strip. Is that Lithonia Lighting's problem? Maybe not, but it's logical to assume that you might be able to use that massive housing for something. As far as the light goes, it's pretty good for the 8'x8' closets. Decent CRI, brightness, and diffusion (you don't see distinct hotspots where the surface-mount LEDs are). Aesthetically, you could best describe these as industrially functional. The housings look cheap, but the diffuser looks pretty good. I'm a little torn when it comes to the VALUE of these fixtures. On the one hand, ~$50 per fixture isn't bad... and I do expect them to last for several years. On the other hand, these seem pretty expensive for what you get. Recommended

Love the amount of light it puts out but it’s a soft light. Not harsh. It’s over my kitchen sink. Lights my entire kitchen. If you love light this one is for you. Highly recommend.

The lights over our sink went out, they were cheap things and didn't provide much light. I found this fixture and installed it. It is bright and thats what I like, the more light the better when working at the sink. This fixture is 3000K which means it has a warm white color. This matches the other lights in the kitchen. Lithonia does make this light fixture with other lamp colors if you don't want warm white. I am very happy with this light and work perfectly for my needs!

This light is very easy to install and very bright over my kitchen sink. My husband put it up in just a few moments. There is no humming or noise at all from it. I really am glad I got it.

Great light. Works perfectly as a replacement in my Master Clothes closet. Could not have been easier to install.

it was easy to follow directions, bright and well made

Acheté pour remplacer des tubes fluorescent conventionnels dans le garage. Ces luminaires DEL sont puissants. Même s'il n'y a qu'une seule rangée de DEL, l'éclairage est puissant et extrêmement clair. Installation facile. Aucune difficulté à installer le couvercle de plastique.

There is one long single strip of LED inside the light fixture. I haven't mounted it yet but it looks easy enough to do. I took one star off because the original light fixture box arrived opened. The light inside had been pulled out of the box before and just shoved back in. One end was dusty inside. It shouldn't affect how it functions but it's disappointing that I paid for a new item and expected it be new, unhandled and unopened. This has happened to me quite frequent lately on Amazon orders. Products arrived with original packaging opened and hastily put back together, a couple time with small items inside the box missing. I hope this is not going to be the norm.

I purchased this and a 2 footer. They are super easy to install. Something to keep in mind is that the wire comes up through the center. It is designed to be mounted on a junction box. This one was no problem as it was going in my ceiling in my kitchen. SUPER BRIGHT, looks super. ... my wife is very happy with it.

I replaced my light in the stairwell Excellent light fixture light weight and bright and a decent price and no bulbs
