Love this cool light in my half bath. It comes with a million rods so it could hang really long - I guess for a loft or something. But I thought I could hang it more flush to the ceiling if I didn't use a rod - but it requires that you use at least one rod. So it's hanging just a little low in my half bath with 8 foot ceilings. But I still love it and the quality was better than I expected for the price.
