One of the rooms in my house doesnt have recessed lighting. An electrician wanted close to 1k to install 4 recessed lights. I decided to install two of these instead. They give the room a really unique look and fill the place with light. I have them both connected to an outlet that a switch controls, so flipping on the switch lights up the room. One minor thing to be aware of is that the cable isnt the longest. I installed these at the hight it my door (the room has vaulted ceilings) and the cable doesnt reach down all the way to the floor.
