Looks as it is pictured. Easy install with no confusing wire combinations. I used A15 medium base bulbs as recommended. Lights in a downward triangle to illuminate area directly underneath. Great over a hallway or dining table. It's not very bright as a whole room light but does illuminate the entire room to some extent - daytime observation. also works with dimmer. Use a highest recommended wattage bulb for extreme brightness if you need to use as primary light source.
