I ordered this 5-light version as well as the 2-light version for a remodel. The 2-light fixture arrived first, and my husband who is a builder had trouble installing it but managed to get it done. I was concerned that the 5-light fixture might be even more difficult, and I was correct. It is not wired in series instead there are 5 separate black and 5 separate white wires. This makes it nearly impossible to connect 6 wires together with one wire nut. Even with me helping to support the fixture, every time he managed to get all 6 white wires connected they would come apart as he struggled to connect the black wires and vice-versa. We’re returning this piece of junk.
