I have been looking for a foyer light for months, this one is great! When the light is off it is silver with black etching, the ceiling my mount and light bulb holder parts are more silvery-gold. When it is on (3 15 watt equivalent LEDs) it takes on a more overall burnished look which I love. Delivered on time, in perfect condition, installation was quick and easy, we installed it almost flush and did not use the chain that came with the light. NOTE on install to mark the live and neutral wires BEFORE cutting them to size we narrowly avoided disaster on that point.
