We bought the fixture to go in a couple closets.  They make a great closet light.  We used the 1ft pole and so it's at a perfect height.  You get a "uplight" because the top is glass and the light comes through.  You also get the light from the bottom.  It's a very white light so it doesn't have a yellow tint to it.  We've had some in the past that give off a yellow light and so your clothes look discolored.  The fixture has a diffuser on the bottom so you don't see the bulb.  They were very affordable!
