Good quality, bright enough to light up a vanity but not be the sole source of room light
I am very pleased with the Mirrea 16W LED Light kit. This Mirrea model is actually a replacement, and alternate choice, for another light fixture I recently ordered from ElectSun. That ElectSun unit was dead right out of the box, the LED driver had no output. Amazon gave me a credit, but ElectSun could not replace the unit with a working one, so I selected this Mirrea model instead.I selected ours in "cool white" color and am very glad we did. The light is exceptionally white, and not at all leaning toward the blue hue. Installation was a bit odd, as this light fixture is quite narrow. There is a polished steel disc that comes with the light to cover a standard electrical wall box, if your bathroom needs this. Ours did not have an electrical box, but the hole in the wall was larger than the light bar itself, so I had to use this cover disc to make the installation look good.As I mentioned the light is quite bright, and very white (my is the "cool white" color). It does an excellent job as a vanity light. That said, I would estimate this unit does not put out enough light to be your ONLY illumination in the room. I know many homes have only a vanity light as the sole light source in the room. If that is the case for you, in my opinion, this unit would not be bright enough. If you have another light source in the room, combined with this to illuminate whatever is in front of the vanity, I would say you'll be quite happy.The product is fairly good quality, the light pieces are frosted acrylic. The thin bands around each lamp are polished steel, and the entire fixture has a bright shiny chrome finish which came well protected in the package. Installation is a simple three wire operation. The LEDs are not replaceable, however the literature with the lamp, and the reputation of most LED products, suggest the LEDs should last at least 20 years. I couldn't speculate if the LED Driver (power supply) will also last that long.I attached two photos. One photo is darkened slightly, to show the lamp detail. The photo showing the entire vanity, is an actual untouched photo - the light is so bright that it actually washes out the image. Please note that our bathroom has additional lighting in the ceiling.

Installation Problem
If you have a round ceiling box in the wall, as I did, you'll find that the screw holes in the box aren't horizontal. They'll actually be at about a 45 degree angle. Go check, because this was a problem with my installation.This light fixture has two Phillips head screws on top which attach to an L-Bracket. That L-Bracket also attaches to your ceiling box. So if you screw the L-Bracket to the ceiling box, it will not be horizontal. Nor will your light fixture.I wound up using a 4 1/8" hole saw to cut a round plug out of a piece of plywood, drilled a good size hole through the middle for the wires, then attached the plywood to the ceiling box. Then I screwed the L-Bracket to the plywood plug with wood screws making sure it was level. Lastly, attach the light fixture to the L-Bracket with the Phillips head screws from above.Make sure your wood screws don't pierce the wires in the box. That would be bad.This speed bump in the installation was not a huge deal though, because I already had the hole saw, the plywood, and the wood screws. In the end, the wife is happy with the contemporary look of the light and the lumens, so I can cross this task off my list.

Very nice! I love how it looks.
I installed this as part of my bathroom remodel. I love the simple lines and the light output is perfect for a vanity light. It's not meant to light up your whole bathroom; you should also have overhead lighting. This is nicer than anything I could find locally, and the price was great.Since I was re-doing my whole bathroom, I was able to install this without the need to use to the supplied additional cover plates. The light bar is only two inches wide so it won't cover a mounting box that is already in place.It came with a round and square cover, just simple flat, chrome pieces to cover the mounting box if needed.Note that this light is not dimmable. It will flash on and off if you try to dim it. I actually have it on a dimmer switch because the rest of my bathroom lights are dimmable. I found I can go down about halfway, dimming the rest of the lights, before this one starts blinking.

Not particularly thrilled
Pretty disappointed actually. Looks okay once installed but my biggest issue is that the back plate was all scratched to hell and looks pretty bad. No amount of buffing or polishing helped at all.Also, it doesn’t install super easily if you have a box with the mounting holes at 45 degrees, but it is possible. I mounted the bracket to the drywall, the backplate to the bracket, and then the light, and it worked out pretty well. See photo for an idea.One of the four lights was all bent and crooked, but I was able to twist it straight again.And lastly, this is pretty blatantly false information. The listing says that the light is stainless steel and won’t hold a magnet as proof. Yeah well it doesn’t hold a magnet for sure but that’s cause it’s plastic, not metal at all.For $70 I’m positive you could find a much better light from a more honest seller. I would look elsewhere if I did it again.

It is pretty, but check for finishing issues
I overall like this light, it looks neat and gives a warm glow (I purchased the warm white versus the cool white).However, what detracts from its overall pretty looks, is that the plate it came with is damaged, has weird horizontal scratches running all the way from end to end. I thought there might be protective film across the plate, however its all cleaned up and the actual metal finish is damaged. So now its one of those things that when the light gets turned on and "oooo so prett....scratch!" i've had it pointed out by 4 different people now. ARG!
