The lamp is perfect for our low ceilings - we installed it in the entryway and it looks wonderful.  Great light output for an enclosed bulb fixture. The one thing that was a little tricky was the install - my husband and I are reasonably handy and have installed many fixtures before, but the blind install method for this flushmount was made a lot harder by the large qty. of fiberglass insulation on the top.  We did finally get it installed though, and it looks great :)
