Love this pendant! It's used as a chandelier, above a dining room table and provides plenty of light. I was worried that it wouldn't be enough. We installed it on a slanted ceiling - you can do that but you won't be able to use the metal bars that go around the wire. So we have a wire hanging from the ceiling but it still looks elegant. Sometimes when the air is on, it slowly rotates because it is in the line of the vent but it does not bother me. I would recommend this for a vaulted ceiling, if you are fine with not using the metal bars that come with the light.
