We were in Lowes and picked out two ceiling lights for our hallway. These lights are outside of our bedrooms. They were typical bronze ringed with a glass globe. They were about $20 a peice. Before purchasing we ran over to Home Depot. We found what appeared to be the same lights in a *2 pack* for $14. Same style light for $14 a pair as opposed to $40. We bought them.

When I opened the package at home I was surprised. They seamed constructed as well as the one I opened at Lowes. This one though only took a single 75W bulb, I think the Lowes on took two 75 watt bulbs. No matter though, I figured I'd put a 23W (100w equivalent) cfb in there as I have done in other areas of my home. Since there are two lights in the hall with in 15 feet of each other, that should be plenty of light.

Ok, I am removing my old ceiling lights and just about to install the new one when I see this funcky connector on the black wire and another on the white wire. It sort of looks like a phone jack but the black wire is inserted into this clear connector and into a brass piece therein. There is another slot for the house wire to be inserted into... Same with the white wire. The instructions call it a quick connect. It seams real convenient but is this method safe? Should I return the lights? They are UL listed and I used to figure anything sold at these stores would have to be safe. After all the hoopla lately with dangerous junk coming from China, I am concerend.

What do you think?
