HOLKIRT Mid Century Modern Globe Semi Flush Mount Ceiling Light Fixture,White Opal with Brass Finish,Living/Dinning Room

The media could not be loaded. This is a review of the 7" and 10” Holkirt lights that I use in our kitchen and bar areas.Pros: These Holkirt lights have an attractive and unique design. They are well-made and easy to install without the need for a professional. They are also dimmable, which is nice if you are sensitive to bright light. The globes themselves are glass and give off an attractive, soft light.Opportunities: The one challenge I ran into with these was with the smaller one (7”) in particular, that your standard light will not fit through the globe. I eventually had to get a pack of these narrow lightbulbs that are 2-3 inches long and have a larger metal screw-in part. That whole thing took multiple instances of trial and error to find the right bulbs. I went with a T10 LED frosted bulb, dimmable 40W 2700K soft warm.Overall: These are nice fixtures that will make your kitchen or bar area look great.

Love the look for a very reasonable price. It was a little finicky to assemble and get the arms all in the right spot, but not at all unreasonable. I was surprised by the sturdiness of the fixture. One downside is that part of the globe seems to have an oil stain, but you can only tell if you look for it. Probably could've returned it but I didn't want to deal with that after getting it all installed.

I really like how cute this fixture is. It looks adorable in my laundry room. The metal finish looks real and not painted. It is a nice warm brass color, not too yellow.The lightbulbs I used are from Home Depot (EcoSmart brand). They are a little longer than what is recommended, but they fit and work just fine. I included a photo of the packaging in case that helps anyone.I know some people have had a little trouble assembling, but I thought it was pretty easy. I didn't use any tools except for a screwdriver. Here is how I did it (disclaimer--I am in no way an electrician):1. I attached the three posts to the dome hand-tightening them as much as possible. I did not attach the bulbs and globes until after I installed it to the ceiling because I was afraid of breaking them during installation and because it made it too heavy (I installed the fixture by myself).2. I used electrical tape to hold all three black wires from the fixture to the extra black wire that was included, then I screwed on the orange cap. I did the exact same thing with the white wires.3. I covered both orange caps with electrical tape to make sure those things did not come undone. That left me with three wires to attach to the wiring in the electrical box in the ceiling--one black, one white, one metal) I think the wiring situation is straightforward from here forward.4. I attach the metal tube to the little metal strip.5. I screwed the metal strip to the electrical box in the ceiling so that the green screw was facing out.6. I attached the metal wire to the green screw by wrapping it around and tightening the screw.7. I connected the black wire from the fixture to the black wire in the ceiling using electrical tape and an orange cap, then repeated for the white wires.8. I stuffed all the wires inside the dome and electrical box in the ceiling and secured the fixture to the ceiling using the decorative metal screw cap provided.9. I screwed in the lightbulbs.10. I screwed the globes onto the fixture while holding onto the post each time so that it stayed nice and tight.Sorry, I know I probably made it sound difficult to install, but it was really easy. It works well, and it looks great. I couldn't be happier with it.

Beautiful fixture for my closet. Easy to install. Looks fantastic.

The light is really nice. It went together easy and the install was self explanatory. It was missing the nuts that hold the three rods onto the upper plate. These ended up being metric 10-1.0 nuts and I was able to pick them up but it was a pain having to run to the store just to get something that should have been in the box already. Had that not been the case I would have given it 5 stars.We do have a standard lightbulb in ours and it fit through the opening without any issues. The quality of the light seems to be pretty good and the colors of the brass were great for what we are doing.

We bought this in gold for our bedroom entryway and it does not disappoint. It was a little complex to put together as the instructions were specific enough but we managed to put it up and it looks great!

Lovely and simple fixture and very elegant. Much less bright than many others out there so very nice in a small hallway. Just check first on bulb size., opening is narrower than usual. Our electrician really liked the design too. A winner!

Its a pretty light but the white paint isn't even. Puddles, peeled, and dark in some areas.
