My rather dark front porch has a relatively low ceiling, so I needed a shallow, attractive flush mount that gives off a good amount of light light. This light looks fabulous, fits the space well and gives off a lot of light. (I used Philips 10 W LED / DEL vs standard 60 W incandescent bulbs.)  As an extra bonus, it also lights up my inside front hallway! We had to buy longer mounting screws to install it, and chose to override the recommended "turn to lock in place" mounting system (suggested) with a screwed tight to the studs approach. Not that a stranger or even a high wind is likely to come by and turn and remove the light, but I feel better that it is secure.

Pros: Quality materials, great value, looks amazing
Cons: Recommended installation method seemed risky, but was easy to work around.
