I think the price, even on sale, is too high for this simple pendant. I had an issue with light bleed out of the top, as I am using it over a cooking area, so I hang it lower than usual. I changed nearly everything about it - so it became useful for parts. The black "pan" is fairly thin and lightweight. You can see I used a flange underneath with and outdoor rated bulb, and a large rubber washer on top to keep it centered in the top hole. Works well now with my design, and allows heat & steam & moisture to escape - has a polarized plug which is simple to take off while testing new design. In the end, it works fine.
