These lights look awesome!  We used them above our nightstands.  I took away one star because they are slightly slanted down, so the arm that goes from the base to the light is not level, it slants down.  It's not a deal-breaker, I just would have preferred them to be level.  I don't think the pictures or the description accurately show this.  They are great reading lights but because all the light is focused downward, they do not light up the room very well.
