This light is absolutely beautiful day and night.  During the day the prisms reflect the natural light and at night when the light is on it looks beautiful.  It is perfect for my entryway.  I use a dimmer switch so I can adjust the light as needed.  It is a great pendant light at a very reasonable price.  I was hesitant to buy something like this online since I like to see it in person first.  But I bit the bullet, ordered this light, and I'm VERY happy I did.   I highly recommend it.
