We have the white ones and use them as bedside pendants.  The minimalism of the design makes it very non-intrusive.  It would be great if the hanging cord was white as well and not grey.  The top cap does stick down about an inch.  You cannot operate these lights without getting out of bed unless you have an electrician add a switch and wire it by your bedside or you have some kind of wi-fi switch that will allow you to use your phone to toggle on/off.  Warm color and dimmable.  Creates a comfortable color and layer of light at night.  Hadn't gotten super hot on us as we don't keep these on for more than an hour or so.  In the right settings, these lights can add an understated layer of light. Would recommend.
