The fixture itself is beautiful. Hanging this up was a bit of a pain because the wires are extremely long. We ended up cutting off most of the grounding wire. My issue with this light fixture is that the bulbs get EXTREMELY hot. I actually burned my finger touching one of the bulbs.. which I don't think is normal. As soon as you turn it on you can feel heat radiating off the bulbs and hear a really annoying buzzing noise that only gets louder the longer you have the fixture switched on. I am using 60w incandescent bulbs. I am going to try and switch those out for a 40w LED bulb to see if this helps. If not, I may have to return the fixture as I am worried about the possibility of a fire.
