These lights look fantastic! We originally purchased the smaller ones, but returned them because they were much smaller than we had expected. The mediums ones (nickel finish) are the perfect size, though for outside our one level home. They were simple to install. I recommend using large clear globe-shaped bulbs with these fixtures. Regular white light bulbs are too small and look silly. These fixtures also seem to be made of a pretty light-weight metal material, so we will see how they hold up in our bitter winter weather, but so far we love these lights!
