We're hanging this light over a sink.  Always tricky to hang a pendant in such a place, as you want it high enough to stay out of your way working, but low enough that the light doesn't shine directly into your eyes.

This fixture gets you out of the bind because of the diffuser at the bottom -- you can hang it above eye level without compromising your ability to work under without eye glare.

Metal ring at base of lamp looks two-tone in photo.  It is not - solid dark brown.  

Pros: Diffused body of lamp provides good overall lighting.
Cons: Down rods restrict options for possible lengths.  Six inch increments, added to 6.5 inches for the body of the lamp and another four inches or so for the top.
