Meridian 30-Watt Integrated LED Chrome Pendant

Very Nice & Bright Chandelier!

This chandelier is modern and beautiful on and off (It almost resembles a rose when it's opening up). I was skeptical, but I am glad I took a chance. You will not regret this purchase. For installation: We have a twenty-foot ceiling so, we had to rent a 14' ladder to install. The light is not heavy, so it was easy to install. Instructions were clear and understandable. The chandelier brings the normal screws and electrical caps. However, I love that the chandelier has a clamp so that you can attach the mounting bracket, which frees up your hands to attach the electric cables. The cover plate hides all the cabling well. Again a stunning light. Pictures do not do it justice.

Product: ARTIKA Meridian 30-Watt Integrated LED Chrome Pendant/Country of Origin: China///// First of all let me say that this light fixture by ARTIKA makes quite the dramatic statement in my home...and I mean that in a good way. I installed it in my entryway foyer and couldn't be happier. It measures approximately 20" x 20" and, while it can't be swagged (that wasn't my plan anyway), it's height adjustable to the extent that it can be used almost anywhere some flair is desired; from hanging over the dining room table all the way to a few inches from the ceiling (which is my application). It's a 30 watt LED fixture and it's dimmable. The brightness is roughly equivalent to three 100 watt incandescent bulbs at full power sans the electricity usage and, perhaps more importantly, the radiated heat. I live in Florida and the last thing that I need is more heat. At the end of the day I feel as though I got the perfect fixture for my space and highly recommend it for yours.

This light is so beautiful I had to give it 5 stars. It is bigger than I realized, so I was concerned that it would hang too low for my 8' ceiling, especially with the little downrod, but I think it works great. The bottom of the light is 24" from the ceiling, so there is a 6' clearance. I just love that the structure itself is the light. No ugly light bulbs, no changing light bulbs, and since it is LED it is very bright. Installation was straighforward and easy other than the fact that the instructions were wrong for adjusting the height. I corrected the diagram on p. 5 with red ink and have attached a picture of it. There is a piece of black plastic you'll need to remove which is encasing the height adjustment device for the support cable. As usual, the screws to attach the base to the bracket are tiny, just like every light fixture I've ever installed. It would be nice if those screws were longer to make it easier to hold them and try to get them started in the holes, but oh well. I love, love, love this light.

I absolutely love this light. I was nervous at first because it came in a very large box, but that was to protect it from damage during shipping. It is a striking light, that is much brighter than I expected. It gives off a very nice light. The installation was very straightforward and as expected. There is a safety feature on this light that really impressed me. A metal cable connects the pendant to the housing, preventing the pendant from accidently getting knocked or loosened and crashing to the ground. While installing it, I found that I needed to leave a little slack in the cable feeding the power to the light, otherwise the pendant would hang crooked.

Have had our Artika Meridian LED Chrome Pendant up for about a week and we adore it! What a wonderful modern and elegant improvement to our dinning room. This is our second Artika light, we have one in a bathroom, and we think you can not beat the quality and intriguing designs. The chrome on the Meridian is super shinny and boy do you want it that way. The reflections from the light onto the chrome is just amazing. Somehow there is a reflection at the very bottom of the light on the chrome that almost makes it look like it is lit up. (See Photo) We took pictures at different times of day to show the different reflections. Installation was not bad at all. About 20 minutes. Pretty basic for a ceiling light. There is a good amount of wire to accommodate how low you want it to hang. We have 9' ceilings so we have the light all the way up to the base. Very easy to adjust the length. The light is a warm white as described. It is a stunner. We are pretty happy with our Artika products.

Futuristic and Stylish! This modern Light Fixture is super eye catching and unique. Everything comes nicely secured in the box, and the box contains all the hardware you need for the install. The only item you will need to install this light fixture is a phillips screw driver. The bracket that came with the light fixture fit perfeclty with our electrical box that was already mounted into the ceiling, the only issue I had is, since we have a decorative plate in the ceiling, I had to get extra long mounting screws, however this was as simple as going to the local Home Depot and picking up a set of #8 machine screws (the small green packet). Again this is only an "issue" if you can't mount the bracket flush to your ceiling as it was in my case. The included carabiner that attaches to the mounting bracket makes installing the light simple, as all the weight gets taken off the light fixture and gives you plenty of room to work while you connect your wires. Adjusting the height of the light fixture was as easy as pulling on the wire that it hangs on. It retracts and locks itself into place so you will not have to worry about setting any anchors or dealing with the line slipping. Also, not having to deal with adding/removing chain links to set the height was great. All the excess wire tucks right into the decorative cover. I will recommend that you tidy up the excess wire and secure it with a ziptie so its easier to contain inside the cover. The light is just a marvel to look at. The strips of LED that are the lights are crisp and bright. Best of all, no more bulbs! The LED design really let's it be a creative shape which is now a nice conversation piece in our home. We installed it on a light switch that has a dimmer and the light works flawlessly with the dimmer. Setting the dimmer to the lowest setting provides a nice ambient glow.

The Artika Meridian 30-watt integrated LED chrome pendant looks great and modern hanging in my dining room. I have it on a dimmer switch and it works great dimming the LED's. It is rated at 2000 lumens and is bright enough for my dinning room. The light fixture is made from aluminum and weighs about 15 lbs. The installation hardware is included and I installed it by myself. Very good quality pendant light.

The lamp was well packed and arrived quickly. It weighs about 7 pounds (old one was 10). The ceiling junction box cover is 7 inches in diameter which easily covered the hole from the one I removed. The mounting hardware is pretty standard with a nice feature that is a carabiner clip that you can clip the lamp to while you attach all the wires. The instructions are basically pictures. Pulling up on the suspending cable automatically clamped at the shortened height desired. It took some fussing to figure out that you have to push up the clamp "nipple" to lengthen the cable. The lamp drew 31.5 watts at 121.7 volts and produced more light than the 5 bulbs at 40watts each fixture that was replaced. I think it looks unusual and fun. It dimmed fine with my LED dimmer.

Large hanging LED lamp. The glow is on the outside of the chrome design. Nothing to assemble. Just replace or install in a new build location. Easy install. Very bright light. You can install a DIMMER switch. Just make sure it is made for LED lighting. Has a long wire to secure the hanging lamp. This can be adjusted for the height you require. This will be installed in the entry way next week. Before and after lighting pic is same room at same time of day, so you can see just how bright it really is.
