Terrible Mounting InstructionsElizabethI echo what a lot of reviews are saying about the mounting mechanism. The instructions just aren’t adequate. I found great instructions from someone in these reviews: keep the mounting piece on the light! Slide the light over screws you’ve drilled into the wall and pull down to secure. 3
Major disappointmentMichaelAs others have stated, the mounting process is terrible. But, I would add that inserting the light bulb is terrible -- there is no room for fingers to grasp the bulb to turn it. Then, the tubing that swings and supports the lamp is cheaply made, it is loose and sagging before any use, so I expect it will be floppy in no time. When it comes time to replace it (with something else) there will have to be a drywall repair for the mounting area.1
Mounting is awfulDanielRead the other reviews about the installation. It seemed simple enough yet we wasted over an hour of our Saturday morning
trying to get the lamp secured onto its bracket. This is the first Ikea item where we've thrown in the towel. We'll be returning it.
The hook portion isn't long enough to clamp over the bar and the screws are the bottom are impossible to get into the bracket holes. THEN when you do succeed, the top part of the light will start coming off (see the issue with the hook). We couldn't find any videos to show us what we were doing wrong but we've bought many Ikea items and wall lamps over the years without an issue. 1
reat looking lights, but don't lastDesireeI purchased these in Nov. 2022 and suddenly both lights are flickering. I swapped lightbulbs, even connected them to a different outlet, and they both cause continuous flickering.3
Swing arm brokenNickGreat light and dimming feature. My only complaint is that the swing arm broke after very little use.4
Light flickers at most brightness settingsChrisWe bought two of these, a his and hers bedside lamp for reading. Both have a noticeable and annoying flicker except when dimmed down to about 40%. We are using the Ikea recommended dimmable bulbs. I tried other branded bulbs and the flicker is worse. We are fine with it because the brightness at around 40% is ideal for us. We aren't looking to use it brighter than that, but it's still annoying nonetheless to have to reach over and adjust the dimmer to stop the flickering. On the positive side ours don't make any kind of noise.2
Great lightKelvinI agree that the screws were a bit small but installing the light was not all that terribly difficult. I do wish that Ikea would sell a dimmable GU10 bulb with a higher colour temperature (closer to daylight) but I found what I needed at a hardware store. I find that warm white bulbs (2700K) tend to put me to sleep.4
a poor design.RuthThe light is nice looking but putting it up is peak Ikea frustration. I bought two and will be returning them. Considering that the lamp involves 4 screws, it may hard to believe that it is not easy but it really isn't. Not recommended.1
Great spot light!JessicaI installed this on a wall, right next to my crafts couch, it is perfect to shine light in a very specific area and tuck it away against the wall when you’re done.5
Light flickers.Anonymous reviewerLight flickers.
Construction is not the same as on older models and is less aesthetically pleasing.2
Great night wall lampAnetGood price and good quality it's dimmable and the light is very soft and warm in the low level it's not annoying if you turn it on in the night. You can move the lamp easy depending on the position it's installed. is also very easy to install. The treaky part was finding the right bulb light because I didn't read the description in the Ikea Web :)5
Great fixtureLynneSolid fixture5
Good after installedChrisThis light has 2 very tiny screws that hold the front wall hanger housing and is frustrating to reinstall the screws because there is too much play in the housing. It would e nice to have larger screws so two people to install would help, maybe?4
Great option to keep bedsideCarolynGreat option to keep bedside tables less cluttered. Adjustable for perfect lighting for bedtime reading.5
Reading light for the kidsPhiInstalled this for my son who loves to read in his bed. Adjustable angles and swing-out arm gets light to the right spots on his bed. Unfortunately, being a kid, I'm just waiting for the day when he forgets to swing the arm back to the wall and he rips the light off the wall or bends the arm to some weird angle.5
Simple little light. Arm supportKrisSimple little light. Arm support a little loose after only a short amount of time using. Light bulb hard to install for someone with bigger fingers. Still, a good purchase.4
Bedroom lampDborahBought this because no room for a lamp on my night table. Works beautifully5
Good light above bed but bad instructionsAnonymous reviewerSeems like solid construction but as other reviewers have said, the mounting instructions are not good. If I followed the instructions it was impossible to hook the top part of the bracket to the lamp base. I was only successful when I put the screws in the wall first with a slight clearance and without the lamp, then hook the lamp ( already attached to the mounting plate ) onto the screws. I also agree the white wire is in the way of the mounting screw. It could so easily have been clamped off to the side during manufacturing to avoid abrasion by the screw . I also agree about the high-pitched buzzing when the bulb is dimmed but perhaps this is a characteristic of dimming led bulbs4
Great reading lampAnonymousMy kid picked this out for her reading light for her bed. Installation was not as difficult as a lot of people have indicated. The brightness is perfect for reading and really like how much directional lightening you can get with it.4
