We are so glad we ordered these; 3 in total to hang on three sides of our double height living room. Combined with a dimmer they are creating a perfect atmosphere, and can go up high enough to allow reading with some additional accent lights. Hanging at mid-height, they shine above and below, but hang not too high to see the bulbs themselves. We put incandescents in and the color of the white shades, actually turn yellowish in the evenning, which is warm and welcoming. Not too diffcult too install and they look classy, timelessly modern !
