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

Replaced two fluorescent lights in garage. Great lights and very bright. There is no "box" with this product, so you need to install a box or place the wires inside the light, which is a downside -

Well made and very easy to install. I replaced an old fluorescent fixture with this LED light. No complaints at all.

I got this to replace the ancient fluorescent fixture in our laundry closet, which had a bare bulb shop light look that bothered me. This is not a DIY installation, and it took a skilled electrician to do it. The result is much more light with a sleek, attractive look appropriate for a living space, not a garage, exactly as I envisioned.

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

Same light that you can buy at Lowe’s, but $5 cheaper.

Easy to install. Much brighter than the old one. Good quality

I ordered these for my basement laundry room as its enclosed and sometimes damp, especially in summer. The light is amazing. Would buy again.

This is a very bright LED light. It was very easy to install. Before installing it, remember to turn off the fixture's power. This is the second one I've ordered and installed in my bathrooms. The first one was installed 3 years ago and it is still working properly.
