What a great light! Frosted glass is fairly thick and diffuses light so well that each light is easy enough to look at. For bright operation I use four 450lm bulbs (BP40G9/830/LEDG2HDRP ) in the four larger globes, and four 350lm ones (BP35G9/830/LED/HDRP) in the four smaller globes. The brighter bulbs are larger and can cause a visible band if put in the smaller globes, so this seemed a good balance (though dimmer bulbs appear a little more yellow, it's a subtle difference I'm ok with). May add a photo after it's mounted. I've just tested the light out to ensure all's in order so far.
