These beautiful lights will work perfectly over the window above the kitchen sink.  I bought 3 for the 6 1/2' span.  These do extend further than most away from the wall, but with a 24" deep cabinet, the light should fall right where we need it.  They were packaged securely and all of the exposed parts were very carefully protected so that none of the beautiful deep black finish would be scratched.  The  finish will compliment my black framed windows beautifully!  The shade/bulb even swivel so you can point the light where you want it.
