It is extremely light literary probably less than 1 lb. I am installing it over a black tub. I hope it looks like this pic after install. Because it won’t be handled or touched and no one will be able to know it’s not expensive I would recommend it but, if you are using it in a dining room or kitchen I would not. 
UPDATE: Gorgeous for the area and the light actually has 3 light settings. I don’t know if you can keep it on one color but each time the client hits the switch it’s different. Just hit the switch again for a different lighting mode. Electrician said a dimmer could not be used because of this.
