I, like many others, had the unfortunate experience of trying to install this light and can only echo the concerns. Sadly, I bought this at a store months ago, attracted by the look and convinced by the somewhat positive reviews at the time. I finally was ready to install it. I noticed the infamous foam tape in the box and unlike others, I was at least given a cryptic insert with a poorly drawn diagram. Again, I found the parts to be of questionable quality and in some cases broken or bent.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I picked this up in addition to 3 40w equivalent LED bulbs. Originally, I was debating between this and the more expensive slide dimmer for use with LED's and dimmable CFL's but after reading the packages and speaking to someone, I figured I'd try this first. So far, the unit has worked without a hitch and has certainly improved the space it's in and my energy usage.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The EcoSmart A19 8-Watt (40W) LED Light Bulb can replace a standard 40-Watt bulb. The LED bulb puts out 430 lumens with 8.6 Watts of power and can last up to 46 years for extended use, saving you up to $176 per bulb over the course of the bulb's life. The bulb is designed for indoor use and features an A-line shape and medium base.

I picked up 3 of these to install over my breakfast table in a chandelier about 6 months ago so I feel like I can definitely give a pretty accurate review. In addition, I bought a slide dimmer to use so I could control the brightness (and energy usage) and they have been flawless. The lights are bright enough for my needs (matching the 40w incandescents from what I can see) and they dim very smoothly with no strobing or flicker. If I were going to replace any other bulbs in my house at this point, these would probably be my first choice in terms of value and performance.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The Motsenbocker's Lift Off 16 oz. Silicone Latex Caulk and Foam Sealant Remover can be used on a variety of your home's indoor and outdoor surfaces. The non-corrosive gel formula helps make it safe to use on most surfaces without harm.

I picked this up from the store as it seemed to be the only one available. I followed the instructions but found the caulk came off with the same amount of effort regardless of whether the product was used. I tried letting it soak in for longer but still no difference. For me, I found that have a decent putty knife made the project easier than anything. I would also add that the sprayer on the bottle seems to have been an after thought since it really doesn't seem to spray the gel well but instead oozes from nozzle mostly.

I needed a set of blinds to cover a west-facing window which let too much light/heat in during the afternoon/evening. What was nice about this one was it installed fairly easily and didn't require precise measurements. There are 4 brackets included which can be attached loosely then tightened once sure of the alignment. From there, the top portion of the blinds is snapped onto the brackets. I recommend rolling up the blind completely, pulling forward the cells so you can top, placing two thumbs under the top of the blind and pushing until the clip locks. Repeat for the other 3 clips.
So far I am pleased with the look, the reduced heat and the amount of light especially given the price. Total install time was less than 30 minutes but could be done in less.
Yes, I recommend this product.
