This chandelier is just enough different that it is really eye catching.  The instructions state to use 40 watt bulbs although the description online said 60.  But 6 40 watt bulbs puts out plenty of light.  I was able to use regular lights as I was unable to find the number they listed online.  I have them on a dimmer and they work perfectly.  Love this light.  It is not a black but sort of a tarnished look in places which makes it even more interesting.  It is a good size and looks great above our large table.  Just what I was looking for.
