I bought two of these for over my island.  I like a down-light or task lighting and the lights that were in the house when we purchased it were a white frosted glass shade that cast a harsh light on the entire kitchen.  These are perfect.  So stylish too!  I just saw almost the exact same light in the PotteryBarn catalog for $111.00 each and they came with a cord..another $29 for the bar type that these have!  What?? Feeling so happy!!

Pros: Great value and style
Cons: none
