This is definitely not what I expected from an install. The instructions did not flow well. Luckily I am an experienced diyer, so I had to make a few modifications to the instructions to fit my liking. Using more “beefed up” hardware is a first. It asks you to install the mounting bracket to the ceiling and in most cases that is drywall. Also, the remote does not come with a battery and of course it’s not a AA or AAA, it’s a 23a. Overall, the fixture is bright and looks nice so it’ll stay up.
