Purchased these as hanging bedside lamps, and theyre the perfect for the look I want. I think theyre larger than a traditional pendant light, which is just fine with me. Easy to hang. The only reason I gave 4 stars, is due to the switch placement, which is rather close to the outlet, in my opinion. The chord is long, which is ok, but if youre plugging this in behind furniture, you will need to have another to control the onoff switch. Picture attached.
