This type of light we've always gone for IKEA or Target options in the $20-40 range. After cleaning out dead bugs and debris from these inverted shades for years, I decided to go for the enclosed style. The touch-sensitive dimmer and on/off was just a bonus. Has worked perfectly for months now, and no regrets about the higher cost. Elegant, simple, and works just fine with our transitional living room (antiques mixed with crate and barrel style pieces).
