QuoizelGF1617PN Griffin Interior Lighting Modern White Etched Glass Round Flush Mount Ceiling Light, 3-Light 300 Total Watts, 8" H x 17" W, Palladian Bronze

We had 2 fluorescent ceiling lights along with an over the sink tube light. They all started to go, after about 50 years, so I bought 2 of these for the ceiling. I didn’t know what to expect but, our electrician had no problem at all and the light are bright and beautiful. We’ll worth it.

Gorgeous fixture - very substantial looking. Nice transitional appearance that works with more modern and traditional furnishings. A little bit complicated to put together the first time (and can see where it would be a bit of a challenge when you have to change bulbs) but the looks make up for the small speed bumps. With 3 100 watt bulbs, this will fully light up a large bedroom. Puts out a lot of light. Good if it is the sole ceiling fixture.

Easy to install once you figure out the stacking order of the parts that thread onto the coupling. Order i used was end cap placed to the coupling, then the threaded rod screwed into the coupling with a dab of blue locktite and snugged up with a pliers,then the hollow barrel, followed by the other end cap, large steel washer, large white rubber washer. ……….. now the secret to the easy install. The globe hole is larger than the threaded rod. Large enough to slip an o ring over the rod to hold all the above pieces on the rod in order . By doing so you can then mount the fixture without having to fumble around putting all the above pieces in place while installing the glass globe and all the pieces below the globe at the same time. ……once the wiring was connected and the base bolted to the ceiling it is alot easier to install the glass globe on the stem tight to the big white rubber washer held on the stem by the o ring, then the little white rubber washer, the little steel washer, the hex jam nut, the decorative bottom cap , and finally the bottom threaded ball. Much easier to use the oring to hold the parts above the globe on the stem , mount the fixture to the ceiling , and then mount the globe and parts below the globe to complete the install. I did not have an oring so i used clear plastic tubing from the hardware store and cut a 1/8” width off the end. The i.d. Was 1/4” . Whatever you use to hold the top pieces in place as described in the order above when your done test the globe fit so the globe center hole slides over the oring or in my case the small band of clear 1/4” i.d. Plastic hose. I stretched the hose a bit by putting it over the end of a needle nose pliers and opening the jaws up . Made it alot easier to slide over and down the threaded rod to the large rubber washer. The last tip is to measure the two bolts that hold the lamp base to the ceiling and get the bolts mounted and tightened before you even mount the base plate to the ceiling electric box. We used 75 watt equivalent bulbs , 13 watts each, 2700 kelvin , 1100 lumin G.E. Bulbs from Lowe’s and also put the lights on a dimmer. Bulbs were plenty bright and in our case 100 watt bulbs would have been too much. If you follow the above assembly ….. it will also be a whole lot easier to remove the globe for cleaning or replacing bulbs . Everything from the big white rubber washer to the ceiling will stay in place by the oring or small slice of clear plastic tubing, making the globe much easier to remove and put back up. The last two pictures are of the flush mount fixture( oring or tubing works on flush or semi flush threaded rod center assembly) with the bulb bases if you look closely you can see the clear piece of tubing on the center threaded rod next to the rubber washer that is just above where the white glass globe will be when light is completely assembled. An o ring of the right size would work just as well .

I've had this fixture for four years and while it looks nice, don't try to clean the inside of the shade with a wet cloth, the paint will peal off. The worst part about the entire experience is the lack of support from Quoizel. They told me I could buy another shade, but they were back-ordered. (Yeah, back-ordered because other customers are probably having the same issues). I'm sorry, but I will not put good money toward a bad product. I will replace this fixture with another brand's fixture before I spend money replacing this Quoizel shade.

I have had this fixture installed for almost 3 years now. Removed the globe to clean the dust out. Using plain water and a paper towel, the frost coating on the inside is starting to peel. I expected better quality for the price I paid.

it is in our kitchen. It looks great and puts out nice lighting. it was a little difficult for my husband to install but happy in the end.

Looks just like the photo. Quality is nice, good color frame, hardware and electrical parts are sturdy. Easy to install with 2 people - except as another reviewer wrote getting the pieces on the stem to install the glass and finial is tricky. Taping the washers so you can feed the stem through the glass hole did help. Patience for that part required.

I had this same fixture in my house in NH. I liked it so much, I bought it again for another house remodel.
