I'm not sure if I should even be removing a star for this (the fixture overall is great), but just fyi, the 5000 lumen light is BRIGHT. Our living room is beautifully lit with near-daylight intensity now that we've installed two of these, to the point where I wince when I flip the switch on. Still planning on installing the 3000 lumen/yellower version in the dining area and may update with further reports there.
