I purchased these lights for my business, to go over the reception desk. After some necessary tweaking, It turned out quite more beautiful than expected. The pendant is more duller gold colour and because I wanted it to be more of a shinier gold, I spray painted it to give it a more vibrant colour. Secondly I didn’t read the description carefully enough and didn’t know it was a plug in pendant light. I initially did not want a plug in at all, but after getting my contractor’s help, he made these lights happen. It was definitely worth all the extra time and effort that was put into it. Love these lights!!
