So we just installed this. Bit of a hassle but we got it done. Screw in the light bulbs and see that light escapes out the top of the light fixture. The light fixture top rests on the metal and you appear to have to have some space here as you remove the whole top to replace light bulbs. So i get that the room is needed to remove the top and replace bulbs, but I think it really looks weird to have the gold band that you would think would be up at the ceiling, hanging down a bit. Was going to buy another one, but I really don't like the escaping light between the fixture and ceiling, it looks odd.
