Fun light for our front room office.  We used 6.5W ST19/ST58 Dimmable bulbs.  We definitely needed to add the dimmer switch as the 5 lights were more than enough to light our 11x12 room.  Easy hookup and really nice design!  The first picture makes it look like the room is dark, but I was focusing on the light itself - it is plenty bright.  We usually use it on the middle dimmer setting.
