This is a terrific light. Very bright and great design. I got it for my small condo kitchen, and it is excellent because close to the ceiling. You need to use it with a regular on-off switch on the wall, because the dimmer function is on a little remote control. The remote is fun because it allows you to chose how cool or warm you want the lights colour to be, plus how bright. Its easy to use and takes 2X AAA batteries, which are not included in the box. It is so bright I had to dim it to the night setting to take the picture, and the camera still had trouble. Comes in one piece in the box, so you dont have to assemble it like some LED flush mounts. A really cool light fixture. No regrets. Very light as well.
