This fixture gives off an amazing amount of light with three 100 watt equivalent LED daylight bulbs.  The open top is a drawback.  Bugs fly in and cleaning the fixture involves sucking the bodies out with a vacuum or using some kind of microfiber duster.  Mine is in the kitchen so it means working around the sockets to eliminate greasy film.  There is a visible seam on one side of the drum, but we turned it in a direction less likely to be seen.  For the money, though, it was a great addition to our mid-century kitchen.
