These fixtures are super cute fixtures. I really like them for few of reasons: (1) easy to install (2) plug  in feature w/ switch  and heavy electrical (3) swing arm and additional directional ball feature that allows side to side turning of the actual light for better use as a reading light. (4) well made, heavy fixtures (5) cute modern yet retro styling w/ good variety of color combinations offered. Great option to save nightstand surface space.
