These are just beautiful.  They were super easy to install.  We installed them hanging downward.  We also purchased the suggested bulbs.  There is only one thing I want to warn other buyers about.  Again, everything is beautiful, but the brownish light bulbs give off an amber glow, which is dramatic and elegant, but if you are putting this light in a bathroom, there is really not enough light to do makeup, etc.  the vanity light does take regular light bulbs so you have a choice.
