Cheaper at the store.. mine has it for $17.99 and had plenty in stock.
Bought this for $24.99 to replace my existing kitchen ceiling light fixture. That was already a solid price, at another $7 off, it's a slick deal for me.

I looked at it at CostCo this morning.
Perhaps, it was just me, but the color temperature seems to be a bit too white for me, and the CRI does not seem be be that good
Just my $0.02
That's what I had in my kitchen already, and it's the one part of the house I don't want warm white.. go figure.
Yet to install it. I'd bought both this one, and a much brighter 1' x 4' flat panel. Debating which one to install, the other goes back to the store.

The Home Depot flush mount lights you mention in your post are each 1,365 lumens. This is roughly between an old school 75 W tungsten bulb (~1100 lumens) and a 100 W bulb (1500-1600 lumens) would put out to give you some reference. As you can also see, the color temp of this is the 'daylight' (and hence bluer) 5,000 Kelvin.
The Costco light fixture in this post (the energetic lighting 14 in led fixture) puts out 1560 lumens according to the Costco site. So this is pretty much like installing a 100 Watt bulb back in the day. The color temperature of the fixture however is not the 5,000 Kelvin. This is slightly yellower at a color temp of 4,000 K.
Now one more thing to consider is efficiency. The Home Depot lights each use 24 Watts as does the Costco fixture.
So by putting off 1560 lumens (compared to 1365), the Costco fixture produces more lumens / Watt... which is saying that you'd get more light for the same amount of energy consumption.
So in my mind the only reason to go with Home Depot is either the form factor (they look thinner) or the fact that you need that bluer 5,000 K color temp.
The Costco one is cheaper, puts out more light (brighter), and won't cost you anymore to run.... it just is slightly yellower at 4000 Kelvin.
My issue is that it glows at night, never shutting all the way off.
Company was very responsive to my email stating it might be a grounding issue with my light switch,as the ground wire is connected correctly to the fixture in the ceiling.
Installed a new dimmer switch and noticed there was no ground wire, so during installation, I added a ground wire.
The light still glows constantly. Anyone else have this issue?
