I bought two of these to go in my sitting room, one at each end as I loved the simplicity of this unfussy light fitting which provides an elegant finish to a room.  In my cosy low-ceiling bungalow (made lower still by having to raise floor levels to accommodate underfloor heating) they do no throw out as much light as I had expected, despite using "daylight" LED bulbs, but this is hardly the fault of the fitting, and the matter has been easily resolved by the strategic placement of a couple of standard halogen uplighters (in the same, antique brass finish) for additional use when needed.
