Fantastic bargain! Standard chandelier installation. Extra shells and connecting wires are included to replace the inevitable few broken ones. The packaging made the capiz shells smell but it dissipated after a couple of days. Some comments complain that the shells aren’t as pristine as other high-priced capiz light fixtures. Initially, I also thought the shells could be more polished. Seeing the item as a whole, I think the more natural look gives it great texture and depth. I used dimmable soft white LED bulbs which are a nice mix of brightness and or warmth depending on the dimmer setting. Very happy with my purchase.
