This is a beautiful light and exactly the style I was looking for. It is dramatic and definitely makes a statement on our porch. The instructions for installing it are minimal--basically just an expanded diagram--but it went up easily and looks great. The "hood" above the bulb is a little bit larger than I thought but it still fits in the space well and the lamp is high enough that it shouldn't get in the way of anyone coming through the door. Overall, very happy!
