Lytham™ 3 Light Flush Mount Brushed Nickel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The lighting fixture was a beautiful addition to our home. I like that you cannot see the bulb through the frosted glass. Also it is modern looking, but not overly modern. So it can update our old house but not look too mismatched.

We installed the black version, #422753BK, over the course of two days and including a trip to the local hardware store. Approximately 6 hours, total, including puzzle time. Looks OK, once done. The hardware package included two 8x32x1½” machine screws, intended to be installed downwards through the mounting plate (screw head on top of the plate), fed through keyhole slots on the main frame, and locked in the key slots with “round balls.” These “round balls” are illustrated by squares in the installation diagram, and they turned out to be cylindrical plastic nuts with a screw slot on the closed end. The 1½” screws were not long enough; we weren’t able to compress the insulation enough to feed the screws through the keyhole slots. Attaching the “round balls” to the screw ends was out of the question. (We were hampered by not being able to work directly underneath the installation… over a countertop sink; we could only work from each side of the countertop. Total time also includes “I can’t reach it” and “We can’t compress it” time.) Trip to the hardware store, purchase two 8x32x3” machine screws and two #8 washers. Return home, detach the mounting plate from the ceiling. Remove the 1½” screws. We found it better to ignore the installation instructions for this. Instead, we inserted the 3” screws (with washers) upward through the main light frame keyhole slots -- and threaded the screws into the mounting plate from the “underneath” direction easier. Tightening the 3” machine screws from the bottom up compressed the insulation enough to make it a flush mount. (Assumes no obstruction in the electrical box for the extra screw length that has to go somewhere. The installation hardware package included two 6x32x2½” toggle bolts, neither mentioned nor illustrated in the instructions. We eventually came to suspect these might be for ceiling installations where there’s no electrical box. The package also included two 8x32x5/16” machine screws, neither mentioned nor illustrated in the instructions. We were not able to imagine their intended purpose. Trying to puzzle out what these two additional screw sets were for accounted for a significant amount of preparation time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The flush mount ceiling light came in an elegant Olde Bronze. The size of the light was perfect to replace the old light fan I had in my kitchen. Installation was a breeze with clear guidance on how to do a proper connection and safety precautions. One warning it’s to ensure the flush mount light it’s properly secure as it is solid with a glass center piece. Installation took no more than 5 minutes. I opted to use a day light type LED bulbs. The center glass have a thick frosted white that dull some of the light so it is recommended to take that into consideration when deciding the bulb for light.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an absolutely stunning fixture. The black finish looks clean and upscale. It’s an extremely modern look without being over the top or too flashy. The fixture was quite easy to install. Even with the etched glass shade it still gives off a great amount of light!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kichler Lytham is very simple, modern and so perfect for our renovated house ! It was a bit tricky to install especially when putting the globe on the fixture. Once in place it lit up the hallway, perfect amount of light !! High quality, very sturdy and beautiful black finish.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had an ugly builder grade fixture in our walk in closet and desperately wanted something new. This is a great looking fixture! The black/dark bronze color really pops on the ceiling. This is a 3 bulb light so the walk in is much brighter now. Install was easy and will probably get a couple more for other spaces.
