We chose this light as the central ceiling fixture for our teen daughter’s bedroom. We were trying to achieve a feminine soft feeling for her room because we do not have carpet. It worked beautifully and out of all the options that we had to choose from, everyone was delighted with how beautiful this one was after it was installed. We have it installed on a dimmer switch and used LED candelabra base decorative vintage 40 W bulbs which we purchased at Home Depot. If you walk up close to the light you can see the lightbulbs so you want them to be beautiful like the fixture. It gives off plenty of light and is not too bright.
