kichler landscape lighting

We love the light fixture. It works perfectly in the room and is exactly what we hoped it would be.

The slate comes in 9 pieces which the user must install. The slate absorbs a lot of light. I have two compact fluorescent bulbs installed with total equivalent light output of 200 watts. The resulting output through the slate seems like having one old dim 25 watt incandescent bulb. I like the style of this fixture, but I won't be able to live with the dim light output, so I have removed 4 slate pieces, at least temporarily until I can find some craft person who can customize various glass textures cut to size to replace the slate. The thumb screws that hold the decorative casing to the inner fixture are difficult to align and screw in. I've almost stripped the thread a couple of times now.

As soon as I can get the right glass pieces in it, I think I'll love it, but for now, I've been frustrated and disappointed.

The light fixture purchased from Amazon.com is well constructed, looks very good, and works well. However, the panels are thicker and a darker yellowish color than we expected so the amount of light coming through is somewhat dim. It provides a nice glow and a huge improvement over the bare bulb fixtures we had previously in our cabin. We are well satisfied overall.
