When we found these lights on this website it was the solution to a long and previously unsuccessful shopping operation. We needed a simple 2-bulb wall lamp that had a pull-string switch and looked right with our decor. This was it and we bought two and they look great. In fact we're planning to buy one more in the brass colour for a different room. The colour is a sort of gun-metal finish, which suits us fine. Happy to recommend these lamps. (For information: there are 60w equivalent power-saving and halogen candle bulbs in the shops, but the Govt. has stopped use of the old style 60w incandescent candle bulbs.)
