I really wasn’t sure at first. But Im happy about how things turned out. Do not the globe is quite big. In my case - I wouldn’t have been able to open the front door had I installed on the ceiling (as meant to). So what I did was 1) Spray paint the base in gold (I like the non generic texture) 2) Had them rewired (which sounds complicatedcostly- but was done in 15min) 3) I use them as table lamp - and it looks great. (Or So I think anyway -))
