Good product - light output is great with three bulbs. Uses standard bulbs - I’m using LED without issue. The shades are a bright white. The black is a satin finish - can be scratched easily, so be careful when putting together. The assembly was about 15 minutes without issue. We opted to use a 15mm socket instead of the wrench provided as it’s a hard spot under the base to turn the included tool. Overall, a solid tri - light that does the trick!
