New Kitchen Light

The original kitchen light, but not original to the house, was replaced some time ago with a $7 fixture that was better suited to a bedroom, but it was better than nothing.

And that was OK for a long while. We hadn't decided what fixture to use, and he literally searched the internet over for just the right one. And he picked a great one!

HOWEVER, when the new arrived some weeks ago it was not as described. The first error was it was a two-bulb, but was advertised as a three-bulb. He even bought three bulbs for the new fixture that would be the correct wattage for the dimmer switch that he installed.

We still loved the light so he installed it. That's when it became evident that one of the light sockets was not functional. He could have fixed it, could have gone to the BIG ORANGE BOX to get another socket, but for what he paid for it we decided against that action.

After contacting the seller and the manufacturer, he got another lamp, just like the original, from another vendor. We've had horrible snowy weather and the shipment was delayed. Should have been here last Thursday, but arrived this afternoon.

We still have the first shipment, still on the kitchen floor in a box. Have yet to receive the return shipping label.

After opening the new box it was obvious that this lamp had been installed and mishandled elsewhere. We swapped out the light cover with the original and installed it.

We really do love this new ceiling lamp! Now on to finding a medallion to cover the ceiling imperfections...
