I have recently bought a couple of these, one 7" and 11".

About a year ago, I bought 3 of these from HD. They were wire in,
not
screw
in. I liked them, nice and bright.

Well, you gets what you pays for. It's quite dishonest of HD
to imply that these are commerical quality fixtures, but that's
par for the course with most mass market crap nowadays.


FWIW, I never assume any quality or reputation based on the name on the
box,
the side of the truck, etc. "Commercial Electric", "Quality First
Roofing
and Siding", etc. don't mean jack to me.

It's a shame that some people are fooled, but it sure does happen.


I didn't think they were "commercial" grade. I assumed they would work
fine
in a residence for more than a few months.


That was Scott's (and my) point.

The name on the box is "Commercial Electric", which might make some people
*think* that the fixtures are commercial grade. Scott feels it is
dishonest
to even imply that they are commercial grade by using the word
"Commercial"
on the box, even if it's just the name of the product line. I was simply
saying that I, for one, am not in any way fooled by the name on the box.
I can, however, certainly see those words fooling some people.


Oh, OK
