These pendants are great, they definitely look a lot more expensive than they are. They may not put out as much light as some other pendants, but if you use an led bulb, you can get some pretty good brightness. Overall installation was pretty easy, the hardest part was getting the length even. The instructions are a little confusing as they are very general and apply to multiple pendants from the manufacturer. The only downside to the pendant is the use of a G9 bulb. It's a little more uncommon bulb and pricier if you want a good dimmable led one.
