OOWOLF 25W Dimmable LED Ceiling Light, Upgraded Modern 15.7in RGB Close to Ceiling Lamp Fixture with Remote for Bedroom,Living Room,Kitchen,Dining Room

Nice looking and bright light. At first I could not get the remote to work, I contacted the seller, and they emailed the same day saying to search for "CT00 OOWOLF" videos on YouTube. There I found a video showing installation of the battery. What is clearer in the video than in the pictures is that one of the wire loops needs to go over the top of the battery. As soon as I saw the video, it became clear, I tried it, and the remote worked.The installation was not difficult. I liked the modern way the power wires connect without twist caps. I've wondered why fixtures still rely on twist caps rather than some kind of plug. Cost is the obvious answer, but still. This design nails it.The light can do a bluish white or a warmer yellowish white. Great feature. Plus three colors: red, blue, and green.The plastic materials seem cheap to the touch, including the remote, but once it's installed and working it looks and functions great. Compared to similar lights on the market, the value seems reasonable. I highly recommend and would buy again.

The lamp itself is great. The remote control packs many features and light settings. There are several colors to choose from and the day or night light can be dimmed to preference. I had an issue installing the lamp due to the existing box in the ceiling was not compatible with the hardware for this lamp. But that doesn’t seem to be common problem according to the other reviews. Just on my side. Once I got the ceiling box replaced it was a breeze to install.

First off, I am very happy with this light. It does get very bright--much brighter than the fixture with two 60-watt bulbs that it replaced. I put this in what will be my basement gaming room, which is why I wanted the RGB colors.Pros:1) Very bright. Reviews that say it doesn't get bright; I can only assume they couldn't figure out the remote, which is understandable, as the instructions are in mangled English.2) The globe has embedded sparkles. I wasn't aware of this from looking at the product photos, but the globe looks very nice. The embedded sparkles really add to the appeal of this light.3) Multiple color modes. I'll go into this in more detail later.4) Colors look great.5) Remembers your last color setting when you turn the light on.6) Remote come with battery installed, plus a spare. Uses CR2032.7) Remote did not require any setup or pairing. Just works.Cons:1) Instructions are very limited. Clearly English was not the first language of whomever wrote them.2) Installation was difficult to figure out.3) Once installed, the light does not sit completely flush against the ceiling. See photos. It attaches to a puck which houses the circuitry, and this puck is what mounts to the ceiling, putting the actually fixture about an inch away from the ceiling. Which wouldn't be a huge deal, if not for the fact that...4) Exposed wiring. See photos. The light connects to the puck with wires that are not concealed. And the wires that connect to the house wiring are also not totally concealed, although I did manage to hide them a little bit by routing them through the mounting plate. See photos.5) Light is 100% plastic. The globe is not glass. Although you can't really tell once it's mounted.Installation tips:1) Disconnect the light from the puck before you begin.2) Using the three provided short screws and nuts, mount the circular metal mounting plate to the puck. Make sure the grounding nibs are facing away from the puck.3) If you want to hide the house wiring connector wire, remove the connector from the end, and route the wires through one of the outer rings on the metal plate.4) Once you have the plate/puck assembly ready to go, it should easily mount to your existing junction/fixture box with your existing screws.5) If you plan to use the provided house wiring connector block, you will need to make sure only a very small length of copper is exposed on your house wiring. About 1/4 inch. So you'll need to snip them, most likely. Or, if you want to use wire nuts, you'll need to strip the wires on the puck a bit more.6) I haven't done this yet, buy I plan to buy a "ceiling light medallion" from the local hardware store to conceal the exposed wiring.Remote operation:1) The circular pad controls the brightness (up/down) and adjusts the color temperature from cool to warm, when in white-light mode (left/right).2) The button in the center of the pad returns the light to its default bright white mode.3) There are two memory buttons at the bottom. Put the light how you want it and hold one of these buttons for three seconds, and the current mode will be programmed to that button.4) The "wifi"-looking button is for pairing. If the remote does come unpaired, or if you want to pair it to another light: Within three seconds of providing power to the light, press the pairing button once. If it pairs successfully, the light will blink three times.5) The "snowflake/sun" button (represents cool and warm color temps) puts the light in white light mode.Color modes and buttons:There are two color mode buttons. One of them starts the light cycling through a wide range of colors at slow speed. You can leave it cycling if you like, or, when it reaches a color you like, you can press the button again and it will stop at that color. You can program this color to a memory button, if you want.The next color mode button cycles through the following modes:RedGreenBluePulsing red (slowly dims then brightens)Pulsing greenPulsing blueRapid changing random colors (changes 3x a second)Pulsing changing colors (pulses a color once, quickly, then changes to another, pulses, etc.)Strobing effect (flashes between red green and blue very quickly)In summary, this light did have some drawbacks and installation challenges, but they can all be overcome. Once you get it properly mounted, it looks great, and the performance/versatility of the light is excellent.

The Dimmable LED lamp is very nice, the color can be adjusted, and it is installed in the daughter's room. They like to change color every day. I think it is quite worth buying.

As an old friend from the Dallas Fort Worth Caving Grotto used to say, "Cheap and worth it."The light does illuminate, so there's that (although I've noticed that several Chinese LED products I have dim after only a short period; since this is brand new, I cannot speak to long term performance). And I did have it installed and functioning within an hour of finding it on my front porch. Aside from the obvious typographical errors in the literature and the general sparsity of helpful information, the main difficulty I had was in mounting the light. It comes with a circular mounting bracket that has the same diameter as the four-inch round ceiling box where my existing light was hanging and which is of typical size and construction in the United States. It appears that the designer intended that the circular light module mount flat against the mounting bracket. This may seem workable at first, but the cable which connects to hot and neutral in the house must be run up and behind the mounting bracket. Because the module is against the mounting bracket and the mounting bracket is against the ceiling box, there is no good way to set this up. This could have been easily solved with a small design change, by bringing the connecting cable directly out the top of the module, but it wasn't. As with many poorly designed Chinese goods, you'll have to be creative (something that mere copycats are not usually good at).Of course, I must admit the possibility that I missed a simple installation configuration and the problem lies with me. If that is the case, please reply and let me know where I went wrong.

The instructions were sort of nonexistent, but it was still very easy to install. The part I had trouble with was figuring out how to pair the remote with only one light. I found the instructions in the product description above and voila. Piece of cake. The colors are very pretty and it actually looks like it's sparkling.
