SOLMORE LED Ceiling Light, 24W, High Lumen 2200LM, Waterproof IP54, Daylight White 5000K, Energy-Efficient, Bathroom, Kitchen, Bedroom, Porch, Flush Light with Long Lifespan

In the last week (early January 2023) I have had to replace three old "D type" flourescent fittings with these units and they are a much better light and significantly brighter too. More pure white/daylight white than the old warm white flourescents, but that is a good thing in a barthroom.I've only had them installed couple of days, but so far so very good. If they start to cause any problems later I will amend this review.Installation is quite straight foreward but here's a tip: the light fitting fits over a metal bar that attaches to the ceiling, the unit is light enough so that simply using the supplied wallplugs and screws in plaster board works well and no need to hunt for a joists to get a decent fixing. Then the fittng itself attaches to the metal bar with two small screws. They are a bit fiddly and it helps immensely if you first screw them into the bars a couple of times to make them less stiff when you come to mount the fitting itself. I did this before I installed the metal bar and it made mounting the fitting much easier.So, if you want a new LED round light fitting I very much reccomend this unit.

The Solmore light is as described and is still working after two weeks use hence hopeful of a long life. With an existing flat surface and two mains wires (live and neutral), the light is easy to install. The supplied bracket screws to the ceiling and connects to the main wires. The light itself then simply slides onto the bracket. The light is indicated as 5000 K which means it gives a fairly harsh white light. While this is fine for a bathroom or possibly a kitchen, it may be undesirable for a living area such as a lounge, dining room or bedroom. The light is relatively small (230 mm diameter) hence at 2200 lm, quite intense. It was bought to replace a 24 W, 1500 lm Sylvania SylCircle light which was 380 mm diameter and had been installed over an existing rose fitting. Hence, for ease of installation, the new Solmore light was fitted inside the Sylvania light diffuser.

Easily installed and gives a good luminescence.

Bright and has proven durable so far - after a year. Rather than cut a large hole in the plasterboard ceiling I made a 12mm thick circular plywood base for it, with a hole cut out to take the power supply. This looks neat and means that only a hole for the cable has to be cut through the ceiling. Like all these units it can be fiddly to install, and the cover is hardly robust, but if you are careful it all goes together well.

This light is fantastic. The reviews made me take a punt to buy it and I have absolutely no regrets. It's excellent value for money. It's light in weight and very easy to install. I like the unique way the light slides onto the fitting making it sit flush against the ceiling. The reviews I read said it was bright but I wasn't prepared for this. I previously had spot lights that were great but compared to this, it beats them hands down. The spot lights cast a shadow as they were at different angles. With this, the light is spread evenly over the whole bathroom. I am definitely buying more.

I bought this for my garage to replace an old fluorescent tube light that was just gopping electricity.This unit took 10 minutes to fit, 8 minutes of which was removing the old light. A simple two wire block connection and a couple of screws and it was up. It is brighter than my older light, it seems to use about 5% of the electricity that my old light used too!!I must have wasted ££'s over the last couple of decades by leaving my garage light switched on and never realised.I do now. :-)I can opt to leave this on, or switch it off and either way it costs me fractions of a penny rather than £'s . I can see better too - where is any bad?

Installed in a rental property to replace a standard dome light, I was immediately impressed with how much light it’s produced.It’s very simple to fit although I would possibly consider using a different electrical connector as the supplied one feels quite basic.Only real downside is it’s a bit plasticky but what do you expect for £25Very tempted to put another one in the kitchen just because of the amount of light it gives out compare to old fittings

Straight forward no rocket science knowledge, well sealed against moisture and excellent bright while light , a bit fiddly to insert the wires into the plastic clips , since theirs no screws to fix the wires but clips are used, it may be an advantage for safety
