The florescent light over our kitchen sink died months ago so we got another one just like it only it was supposed to be a quick-light model. We installed it and after a big puff of smoke the light worked. Since then it has taken longer and longer to turn on–up to a minute. That’s ridiculous and we decided to get another fixture. That one didn’t work at all.
Now we have a good old fuel eating incandescent fixture but there’s no clear way to attach the canopy to the ceiling…the thing that covers up the electrical box in the ceiling. It is like parts are missing only there’s no way to tell if parts are missing or if there is a magic incantation to chant during installation because the instructions are horrible. Here’s an example: turn off breaker; attach white wire to white service wire; attach black wire to black service wire; install a light bulb; turn on power. Well, duh.
What ever happened to clear instructions? The old joke about men never reading instructions can be turned on its ear because no one reads them ever because they are worthless.
