+ otherwise, Artika. Great design, *pretty* good lumens for all brick walls.
+/- center lamp pivots
+/- would love cooler k options
I now have around 400 Artika fixtures in my all-brick living area and kitchen/morgue, and I think the low k/reddish light gets swallowed whole by my walls -- but otherwise, I remain plenty impressed.
Not to oversell what you take out of the box: the aluminum and presumably steel materials are distrubingly lightweight, but that's apparently industry standard for low wattage married LED fixtures (I've got a fixture that swears it's an Artika in every way, including weight, but it's not.) As long as you don't play ball in the house, the materials get the job done.
The packaging is giftworthy, but the packing left two of the four wire rope connections to the light itself bent a bit; I don't think indoor temps have been over 62f since I installed the light, and if I cared enough I'd run a hair dryer over them, if I owned a hair dryer, if I had hair.
You have the option of pivoting the center lamp up to 45*, which cuts the effective light output a bit at full pivot, as you won't see in the pics from my useless overpriced Google Pixel 3 and its out-of-the-box "Moonlighting" lens. But it turns on, so it's not an iphone.
