CLAXY® Ecopower Industrial Barn Mini Metal Pendant Light Review

February 14, 2016 by Garage Larry

Lighting is one of the many important factors that should be considered when establishing residential and commercial spaces and houses today. Hence, it is quite important that any concern relating to industrial light fixtures is to be considered and attended to.

This need to carefully watch over the installation and the materials and make of the industrial lighting fixtures to be used is essential because a lapse in choosing the right lighting fixture can be the difference between you and your family’s or your employees safety and comfort. A poorly lit office or work area usually causes accidents when working and an over lit work space would yield the same as well but it may be not as much.

When a work area is poorly lit or overly lit, it may spell out the makings of a disaster. However, it is also not such an impossible thought to also consider the style and design of the industrial ceiling lights that you will use as well as the quality and features of your chosen lights.

One of the many industrial lights sold in markets today that may provide you with some, if not all, of the key features you are looking for in an industrial light is the CLAXY® Ecopower Industrial Barn Mini Metal Pendant Light.

Features and Specifications

The CLAXY® Ecopower Industrial Barn Mini Metal Pendant Light is metal Pendant lamp brandished with aged steel and the globe’s diameter is about 12.2 inches in diameter which is about in inch wider and bigger than the previous 11 inches diameter. The inside is white with a nice classic appearance while the outside is an aged, era-appropriate designed to complement the light bulbs installed. The light fixture is minimalist in design with an industrial style lighting that may also border to a vintage industrial lighting feel.

Because of the rounded socket and circular horn-like design, the CLAXY® Ecopower Industrial Barn Mini Metal Pendant Light only supports either an incandescent bulb or an LED light bulb.

The lighting fixture is hardwired and hangs from a 1.2m cord. The capacity is at 110 volts with light bulb carrying capacity of 60 watt. The product is UL listed which signifies that the said product has been tested by UL and has passed all the standards and requirements set and prescribed by the organization. Passing the said standards and requirements mean that the CLAXY® Ecopower Industrial Barn Mini Metal Pendant Light is safe to use in any type of establishment, both residential and commercial.

Pros of the Product

When you purchase the CLAXY® Ecopower Industrial Barn Mini Metal Pendant Light, you will get a 12.2 inch diameter and a classic aged steel look which makes the light fixture look elegant. The light fixture is compatible with both incandescent and LED light bulbs which makes it easier to replace the light bulbs when needed. The fixture is also eco-friendly which allows you less electric consumption compared to other lighting fixtures of the same size.

The CLAXY® Ecopower Industrial Barn Mini Metal Pendant Light has a height of 7.2 inches which gives it a classic droopy set-up which is perfect for bars and kitchen islands. It is also great for barns that have high ceilings and do not need too much light space.

The light fixture is also UL listed which means that it has undergone tests and evaluations, and that it is safe for human use. So if you are worried that this light fixture may cause trouble and is prone to accidents, then don’t be because it is safe. However, any product, not matter the safety precautions and legality of safety, will always be dangerous when handled carelessly so due precaution must always be done to make sure that the light fixture is placed in a safe space and attached to your ceiling firmly.

Cons of the Product

Even though the product is advantageous, especially for those who want classic minimalist designs, it still has some cons as well. The CLAXY® Ecopower Industrial Barn Mini Metal Pendant Light operates with a 1.2 meter cord. Due to the short cord, you might need an extension wire to make it longer which is hassle sometimes, especially if you place the fixture inside a barn where things must be placed a bit higher to avoid getting tangled with the other items or animals below. The extension wire will also be required when you extend the height of the light fixture. If you want to let the light fixture hang lower than the 7.2 inch height limit, you can always just add an extended tubing. Just make sure that when you add an extended tubing all the wiring go through the tube.

The light fixture is designed for indoor use only, so if you want to use it outside, you might just find it a bit difficult to do. The light fixture also is only compatible with either an incandescent or an LED light.

Also, the light fixture has a minimalist design which caters to purpose better than the style. This may not be a big issue for those who want a simple light fixture and do not really bother with the minimal design. However, if you are into flamboyant designs, the fixture is not really for you.

The bulb is also sold separately. The light fixture costs around $109.99, originally, but is now sold at $43.99.

Final Verdict

The CLAXY® Ecopower Industrial Barn Mini Metal Pendant Light has a minimal design which is great for those who are looking for functionality as well as a minimal but classic finish. However, for those who are into the glassy and flamboyant designs, you might find the light fixture a bit plain and pretty simple. Also the light fixture is UL Lister which makes it safe to use and is eco-friendly which accounts for its less electricity consumption. However, since it is designed for hanging, you might find it difficult when you want to attach it directly to you ceiling. Also the cord is only 1.2 meters long so if you want a longer cord, you will have to acquire an extension wire or infuse an extended cord on the original. The fixture only supports incandescent bulbs and LED light bulbs only, so if you want to use circular fluorescent bulbs or other bulbs that have sockets, the light fixture will not be compatible. The light bulbs to be used must also fit the 60 watts limit. Using any light bulb with higher wattage is not recommended. The same goes to those that carry more than a 110 volts, which is the limit of the fixture.

No matter how you buy your light fixture, just always remember to consider the proper lighting ergonomics first. This will help you decide which lighting fixture will fit your needs.
