We selected this light because of its size and appearance. The bronze color matches our other lighting from another manufacturer perfectly and the frosted glass does not take away from the ambiance of the area despite the increase in light. I installed 40W equivalent CFL bulbs and the lighting is perfect. We installed four of these on the posts of a 12x14' patio to use when we needed a bit of extra light. They installed very easily and were pretty much everything that we were looking for. I haven't had to change out a bulb yet, but I could see where it may require a screwdriver to remove the glass lense because my hands are pretty big and I may have a problem getting the bulb out without taking the lense out first.
