Installed 2/9/24. I wanted a simiple, low profile light for a kitchen in a great room, that wouldn't compete with a large ceiling fan in one corner and a crystal chandelier in another. It's a little over an inch from the ceiling, but the base is recessed, so it's not that noticeable. Mine is white like the ceiling, trimmed in white. I appreciate the two lighting levels, and find the bright very adequate for when I'm working in the kitchen.  Surprised that other reviewers found the light insufficient. The remote is nice, but I really don't use it.  It replaced a somewhat clunky, bland, fluorescent ceiling light. Installer had to purchase a box? to join it to the existing wiring.  Otherwise, installation seemed pretty simple for him. Totally satisfied.
