Customers highly praise this lighting fixture for its "unmatched quality" and excellent service. Shoppers report it works as "a great replacement for 2-lamp troffer fixtures" with equal or better light output. The product includes all needed accessories and offers easy installation. While praised for fast delivery, one customer noted the surface mount brackets are thin and may require filing for a secure fit.
Great quality and price and Awesome service
Bees's lighting is unmatched with service, quality and we highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for great products and service
Fast shipping
Fast delivery!
The surface mount kit enables commercial panel lights to be installed in a residence with drywall ceilings. The corner brackets are thin but appear to hold up. I had to file the aluminum channels to make the brackets click into place firmly; it is imperative that they hold tight or the panel light will fall out of the frame.
Order came in complete with all accessories needed.
Worked really good for our company and I just bought some more.
High quality brand and works well with our other fixtures.
Highly recommended fixture!
Website was easy to navigate and find what I needed. Item arrived on time.
I purchased 32 of this product for my office renovation. It's a great replacement for my 2-lamp 2' x 4' lay-in troffer light fixture. The amount of light is as equal if not better over all.
Bought from them before and ordering is always a breeze. This fixture looks really good and will definitely last a long time.
