I got this light because I thought it was an interesting twist on a pretty standard boring light. The clear glass allows you to see the bulbs really well which makes it ideal for using the old time Edison style bulbs. I will caution that I bought some larger fancier bulbs for inside and they ended up being too large to fit. I recommend getting the fixture first, and then buying bulbs if you were planning on doing that. Second thing to point out is that the light is brighter and has more glare because of it being clear and not having a frosted glass cover so I would keep that in mind when selecting locations and bulbs.
