I recently had recessed lights installed in my kitchen and decided that I wanted some pendant lights over my island. I spent a great deal of time looking at styles and options from multiple websites and kept coming back to these lights.  I have 14' ceilings and wanted a statement piece to fill the visually empty space between the kitchen and living room.  Contrary to what the description says, you can dim these.  My electrician installed a dimmer switch on a different circuit than the main lights and I purchased dimmable LED lights.  I've provided pictures to show the full brightness and the low light.  Those that have seen them are awestruck.  I couldn't be happier!
