This should never ship with the bottom weight in the same box as the light itself.  The styrofoam was smashed to bits and the box was bent and bulging upon arrival.  The throat of the light holding the entire unit together was flattened.  I pulled the compressed part out with pliers and was able to get the 2 pieces together.  Still will not balance no matter how much I play with the light arms.  My ceiling is 14 feet high so I can take an even taller light.  If you have a 10 foot ceiling don't bother with this light will be too tall.
