Great light, but weak ballast
I've owned two of the earlier model (R4 instead of M4) and found the ballast will only last about 2 to 2-1/2 years. The only realistic price for ballast replacement is the Keystone ballast website; approximately $20. Other than the weak ballast, it's a great looking light and the outer globe is very easy to remove. I'm not sure if this slightly newer model has an improved ballast. Just be aware of this potential problem.

Time will tell if it lasts
I have two earlier models of this fixture so this is my 3rd. The following dimensions are from memory since the fixture is already mounted. I purchased from Amazon, so this only applies to the item that Amazon sends out, not the other vendors.
1. All 3 use different ballasts and means of mounting the diffuser. The ballast on the newest one is rather odd. It is about 4" x 3" and is mounted right in the middle of the fixture. In order to pass the wires to the wiring box the ballast has a 1/2" hole in the middle of it. The consequence of this is that the slotted mounting holes provided on the older models to adapt to different mounting requirements has been replaced by one pair of fixed location holes with 3.5" spacing. Since I needed 2.75" spacing and the ballast is so large I couldn't even make two holes in the right location. I had to fabricate an adapter plate out of scrap 1/8" aluminum that I had laying around.
2. This fixture holds the diffuser on with...
Weak weak balast!
I have six around my shop and they have been dying on me like flies (in total I have replaced close to 8, I honestly lost count). I just replaced one that failed and the new one died right away.
I noticed the makers even changed the balast to a sturdy looking metal cased versions instead of the plastic units. I honestly think the plastic balasts are the weak ones. I still need to have a unit with a "metal" balast fail on me (the down side is that I have only 3 or 4 with the "metal" balast). Before that happens I'm changing to a whole new lamp fixture that uses simple bulbs. I'm tired of climbing and replacing lamps.
