We had an electrician install this over our small kitchen island. We needed a light that didn’t hang down too far, as our ceilings are just 8” high. This light worked out great as it hangs close to the ceiling, and is a much more modern option than your typical flush lights. The light is smaller than I anticipated, and in hindsight, I would have chosen the 5-light version of this fixture. 

I recommend purchasing 40 watt LED candelabra bulbs for this. We first purchased cylindrical shaped candelabra Edison bulbs from wayfair to fit with this fixture. The amber lights from the Edison bulbs were nowhere near bright enough. With the 40 watt LED bulbs, I have enough light for cooking at my kitchen island.
