I really, really like these lights. The copper finish in the inside (I think its just paint, but doesnt look cheap) gives the room a very warm and cozy feel. They put out quite a bit of light without being harsh. I also love the texture - subtle but still adds to the look. I was also worried the outer black shell would look dusty very quickly, but its 5 months later and still isnt dusty. The matte finish helps. Electrician said they were easy to install. The only thing I wish was different was that they were dimmable, but since the light is so pleasant, its not that big of a deal.
