Maison Loft Table Lamp in Black Bronze Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I was looking for a hammered wide base lamp for my living room and purchased this on Amazon (shipped from Wayfair.com). I originally saw this lamp at Macy's home store, where it was listed for a lot more money. The look and quality are excellent. I did have a problem with some discolored areas on the shade when it arrived. I called Wayfair and they immediately ordered and sent a new shade at no charge. It is a large scale lamp, so make sure you measure correctly before purchasing.

This was a super cute lamp... until one day I set a metal necklace on the lamp base (it was plugged in but not turned on) connecting the two telescoping ends, connecting some sort of circuit and the lamp started to catch on fire! the base was smoking noxious burning plastic smoke.

I had bought two of these lamps (different batch numbers) and they both spark and start to catch on fire when you connect the two telescoping ends with anything metal. Yeah, the scientist in me wanted to see if it was reproducible.

DO NOT GET THIS LAMP!! I have reported it to the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the report is posted and searchable on their website.

I bought this lamp to read late at night without disturbing my sleeping spouse. This little lamp casts just enough concentrated light to read, and without the flickering that some earlier "booklights" produced. It works great and takes up very little space on my nightstand.

I bought this for its sleek look. Bad decision. I should have researched a bit more.

Opening the package, I noticed it's a lot smaller than I had thought. Assembly took almost no time, after switching it on --alas --what a big let down. Despite the number of LEDs, the light is still dim, and the area it lightens on the desk is barely able to cover a piece of letter sized paper, even when it's fully extended.

I would give it a one star for I really can't think of any use how to salvage this $30 purchase.

I bought this so I could see my keyboard without putting the main lights on and getting reflections and glare off my screen. Ideal, although another couple of inches of height would be nice. Enough light too to give a pool of light just big enough to read by, without dazzle.

If you want to light up the whole work surface though, this isn't it.

The colors are beautiful, but pretty dark. Unless the lights are on, you don't really get an idea how pretty the design is. And, with the lights on, it is still pretty dark, more of an art piece than a light producer. It works fine for me, but if I needed a good light source, I wouldn't recommend this one.

I bought two of these lights to hang on top of our sink in the kitchen. I had a contractor install them so I can't comment on the installation.

For such a expensive product, it does look a bit cheaply made. The wire that it hangs from is never perfectly straight. In fact when we first put it up it was rather crooked. The contractor told us, it should straighten out with gravity pulling on it, and it did some what, but it doesn't have that perfectly straight drop down feeling.

The frosted glass shade is very thin.

It was kind of too much bother to take them out, repackage them and return, so I will leave them up for a bit, but not impressed with the item for the price.

I bought these glass light bulbs since I find that 'bare spiral' type CFL bulbs emit lighting that's too harsh. Also, the 'bare spiral' shape is just not suited for pendant light fixtures.

This GE Energy-Smart Covered Glass CFL Light Bulb (with its tiny electronic ballast) looks like a regular incandescent light bulb but has all the advantages of fluorescent lighting. The GE 75-watt Equivalent uses only 20 watts effectively an energy reduction of over 70% great!

Since fluorescent bulbs do not generate as much heat as regular incandescent light bulbs, I find this GE CFL light bulb ideal for the pendant light fixture above my kitchen table.

SEE MY PHOTOS IN CUSTOMER IMAGES

The color temperature of this CFL glass light bulb is 2700K the same color temperature of a regular incandescent light bulb. The light produced by this CFL bulb appears yellowish white so you get the same warm glow of an incandescent lamp with less than 30% of the energy! That = $avings! :))

A FURTHER NOTE ON BULB COLOR TEMPERATURE: As the color temperature increases to 3000K 3500K, the color of the light appears less yellow and more white. A bulb with a color temperature of 5000K or higher, produces light that appears bluish white this is the color temperature of daylight.

ABOUT THE BULB'S WARM UP PERIOD: Compact fluorescents in general require a warm-up period to reach peak luminous power. Although this is an inherent issue with current CFL technology, many reviewers cite the long 'warm up period' as a negative ... and indeed it is, especially with this bulb's tiny electronic ballast. It takes longer to warm up than regular CFL bulbs with bulky ballasts.

I conducted my own 'tests' on the 'warm up period' of the GE 20-Watt Energy-Smart Covered Glass CFL Light Bulbs. When switched on, this CFL Light Bulb starts up at about 40% brightness and reaches its peak brightness after about 2.5 minutes. I took out one star for the long 'warm-up' time.

Being a long time user of CFL bulbs, I have since adjusted to their quirky 'warm up' issue. Nowadays, the only place I recommend using incandescent light bulbs is in your bathroom. You certainly don't want to take a nasty tumble there in the middle of the night!

ALSO RECOMMENDED: The lower wattage GE CFL Light Bulbs, 40-Watt Equivalent is suitable for your Vanity Light. Also, the GE CFL Light Bulbs, 60-Watt Equivalent provides adequate lighting for a small room.

The long warmup time is for real. I have some uses that can tolerate that quite well. In one room, the light goes on at dark and off at 10:30PM. This works well for that. Not usable with dimmers or electronic timers. A lampshade that clips onto a standard incandescent will fit and hold on this "bulb', but it is a tight fit. The curly lamps will not hold such a shade and require a harp shade. This lamp serves some purposes well. Not well suited for some other purposes.

This is the future of home lighting. Get used to it. In a few years, the old style light bulbs will no longer be sold. It's not how long it takes to warm up, it's how much energy you save, and how much money you also save on your electric bill. I just put one of these in, it's fine. A 100 watt version would be nice, I don't know if they make them yet.

Honest reviews on GE Lighting 74726 Energy Smart CFL 20-Watt (75-watt replacement)

I purchased this package of bulbs, along with another item. The 'other item' was a large dehumidifier that weighed over 40lbs. An Amazon doo-fus packed these light bulbs in the same box (yes, I said that...the same box) as the 40+ lb dehumidifier. You guessed it...the bulbs were crushed to white powder upon delivery. The package was there, but full of powder. Bizarre. Apparently, one can't call Amazon. So, I attempted to get a replacement. They wanted me to 'return' the white powder...I did not, as my explanation clearly explained the details of the damaged package and white powder. Now, Amazon is charging me a second time for the replacements they sent me. Very frustrating. One of the pitfalls of ordering through Amazon. I spend, conservatively, $1,000 year on this site over dozens of orders each year. This is the first mess I've encountered with Amazon, so I'll continue to order. BUT, I'll refrain from ordering light bulbs at the same time I order anything else.

Material and look of light is great...simple and more industrial looking. However though the glass shape is as shown in the picture, the texture is not. The description only says 'frosted glass shade'. It is frosted, however it also has ridges. I was not expecting this and do not think it goes with the look of the light. It seems more of a traditional shade. I went to Home Depot to get replacement shades in the same color/frosting, but that are smooth.

Best Philips 423244 10-Watt 60-Watt L-Prize Award Winning LED Light Bulb Deals

Customer Ratings:

Light Quality

I love this bulb! The light from this LED is exactly as advertised--very bright, omnidirectional, and in the same pleasing color of incandescent bulbs. Even my very picky sister, who claims CFLs give her headaches, is satisfied with the L-Prize light. There is absolutely no flicker or hum to bother her, and the color faithfulness is fantastic. Its 92 CRI (Color Rendering Index) is much higher than any competing LED or CFL in the A19 warm white form factor, and very close to the maximum 100 on the CRI scale. Cheap, imported LEDs can have really horrible color, like early CFLs had. If you go with any other bulb, always look for an Energy Star seal of approval, which guarantees at least an 80 CRI (the L-Prize bulb will get Energy Star status very shortly). Color temperature is different from CRI, but just know that it produces warm, yellowish light exactly like an incandescent bulb, not harsh blues or ghastly greens like first generation LEDs and CFLs. And this bulb is very bright--at 940 lumens, it's 17% brighter than the 800 lumen output of a 60W incandescent.

Drawbacks

There is a very slight (but noticeable) delay when turning it on--perhaps 1/5 of a second. It does come on at 100% percent brightness though, with no 'warm-up time' like CFLs need. This bulb can be dimmed smoothly down to 10% of output, but the light quality suffers. Instead of transitioning to a romantic and orangey candlelight glow, these get a progressively harsher, unflattering color. I recommend just using them close to full brightness. Also, like most LEDs, these should not be used in totally enclosed fixtures or you risk shortening their life. Finally, some may find the appearance of the unlit bulb ugly if placed in unshaded fixtures. Personally, I think it looks cool (and it's a great conversation starter). The light yellow panels and white body look much more attractive to me than the bare LEDs and exposed metal fins of other LEDs' heat sinks.

Price

This is by far the biggest drawback. Fifty dollars?! Is Philips crazy? Well, depending on where you buy this bulb, maybe not. You see, some local electric utilities are offering rebates of between $10 and $25 when you buy this bulb, applied automatically at the register. No rebates for online retailers, unfortunately. If you can find this discounted at your hardware store, buy it! Not only is the quality of light great, the efficiency of this bulb is unmatched. It gets a whopping 94 lumens per Watt. Compare this to the measly 13 lm/W of a 60W incandescent, or ~64 lm/W in current CFLs or LEDs. It's 50% more efficient than ANY other bulb of its type. Wow!

Whether that efficiency is worth it to you is another matter. If you're satisfied with CFLs or cheaper LEDs, the efficiency gains of this bulb will not offset the $50 bulb cost or save you money. But if you get a store discount or have applications where CFLs are unsuitable (like cold/high humidity/heavy vibration/frequent on&off cycling), then buy now! As a rule of thumb, for every 60W incandescent you replace with one of these, figure it will save you $2 per year for every hour you typically burn it per day. If you have a 24/7/365 application, it will pay back even the $50 price in a single year. With reduced A/C use and bulb replacement costs, it should even turn a profit. Make sure you place these bulbs in the highest use rooms of your house so they have the quickest return on investment.

Durability

To take the L-Prize crown, this bulb was put through a slew of very rigorous tests FAR exceeding the requirements of Energy Star LEDs. The DoE put these LEDs, along with some high quality CFLs in a light bulb "torture chamber" where they were subjected to extreme heat and cold, high humidity, vibration, repeated on/off cycling, and various degradations of voltage and electrical quality. ALL the L-Prize bulbs emerged unscathed from the stress testing, while every single CFL died. I wouldn't worry too much about breaking the thing. Though pretty hefty, it has no fragile filament, no glass, and no moving parts. Teardowns of the bulb show it has exceptional build quality and use very good electronics and capacitors inside. Even so, save your receipt and UPC for the warranty period.

Life

Unlike the sudden death of traditional bulbs, LEDs fade over time and are normally deemed "dead" when they reach L70, or 70% of original light output. High heat accelerates the degradation. Well, the DoE has been running 200 of these bulbs continuously for over 12,000 hours at 113°F (45°C) in accelerated life testing to verify Philips' claim of 30,000 hours life. With 95% confidence they can predict that these bulbs will maintain over 99% of their light level after 25,000 hrs of use! Amazing!

--Updates (Feb 2013)--

LEDs are a rapidly evolving technology, and there have been notable changes in the past year. Here are a few:

The L-Prize bulb formally received Energy Star certification on May 4, 2012.

DoE testing is ongoing, still with no failures among the 202 test bulbs after 22,000 hours of use. Also, an L-Prize bulb will be housed in the Smithsonian next to Thomas Edison's original incandescents. It's that big a deal!

Massachusetts and Rhode Island residents can buy these bulbs for just $10 each. That's a KILLER price. Google "estarlights" to find the website.

Philips started selling packs of color-changing LED bulbs called Hue. Very pricey, and only 40-Watt equivalent brightness, but Forbes called it "The Best Product of 2012". I bet this will become a common feature for home lighting in several years.

If you like the appearance of Hue, but can't pay $60 per bulb, Philips now sells new 830-lumen, 11-Watt bulbs with the same (not yellow) aesthetic for $25. The 75 lm/W efficacy is midway between the old AmbientLEDs and the L-Prize LEDs, but it can dim down to 2% of full brightness. They also come in 5000K (daylight), if you prefer a bluer light.

Switch Lighting released bulbs (in 40, 60, 75, and soon 100-W equivalents) they claim can safely be used in totally enclosed fixtures, unlike most other LED lamps.

Several 100-Watt equivalent LEDs are entering the the market now, but they're usually in the longer A21 form factor. A year after launch, the L-Prize bulb remains the lamp with the highest efficiency and best color accuracy, as well as being the LED brightness champ in the typical A19 length. But expect that to change in 2013!

--More Updates--

Cree, a giant in the LED industry, made a big splash by debuting their first LED bulbs marketed directly to consumers. The big news about them is the price--only $13 for a 60W equivalent, and $10 for a 40W. It also has a 10-year warranty, and a more conventional glass-globed design (if you dislike the appearance of Philips' bulbs). I still prefer the L-Prize for its greater CRI and brightness, but if you can't buy them cheaply in your state, Crees are your next best option, and available nationally at any Home Depot.

Executives at both Philips and Cree have predicted that 60W-equivalent LEDs should break $10 by the end of 2013. But don't let that dissuade you from upgrading now--no competing bulbs will top the L-Prize's light quality for a while, and if you go with Cree you'll likely save money faster than any future price drops.

--July 2013--

DoE testing has concluded on their 202 L-Prize bulbs and they've more than lived up to their promise. No failures among them, and they maintained 100% of their original brightness even after 25,000 hours! This proves that well-designed LEDs really can deliver on their incredible claims.

Unfortunately, it seems Philips is discontinuing production of the L-Prize and focusing fully on their less expensive (and lower spec'd) AmbientLED line. While affordability is crucial for widespread adoption of LEDs, and a CRI of 80 is good enough for most people, I'll miss having a higher-end option with better color accuracy. It may be several years before manufacturers focus on surpassing the L-Prize in that regard.

I bought three of the Philips LPRIZE LED bulbs to use in my dining room fixture. Unfortunately, they do not work with my existing Leviton dimmer (even though that dimmer works with the old 12.5 watt Philips LED bulbs). Nor do they work with a Lutron dimmer I bought at a hardware store that was explicitly rated for LED bulbs. Nor do they work with another Lutron Diva dimmer I tried after it was recommended by someone at Philips customer support. The latter is still claiming that dimmers recommended for the old, orange 12.5 watt LED bulb will work wIth this new, yellow 10 watt LED bulb, but this is not true for the dimmers I've tried. In fact, a tech support person at Lutron told me that the few dimmers they have tested with this new Philips LPRIZE LED have all failed.

Philips customer support is awful, by the way. The most recent attempt I made to get help with this bulb's dimmer compatibility problems resulted in my being transferred to "product management": I was left on hold for 10 minutes until I finally hung up.

Pros:

This bulb is bright and gives off a warm, "soft white" light similar to an incandescent bulb, whose size it resembles. It only consumes 10 watts instead of 60, and it is supposed to last for many years of use.

Cons:

The Philips LPRIZE LED bulb is heavy compared to an incandescent bulb or even a CFL bulb. It emits light in three distinct partitions, so it is best not used where the bulb will show. This LED is still incredibly expensive, even when discounted by some electric utilities. Most of all, if your application involves a dimmer you should probably look elsewhere until Philips identifies which dimmers actually are compatible--if any.

-------------Update:

The company that supplies energy-saving consumer items for my electric utility tested this bulb with a variety of dimmers and selected one, the Leviton IPL06-10Z, as the most compatible for residential use (see Leviton IPL06-10Z IllumaTech Universal 150-Watt LED and CFL/600-Watt Incandescent Dimmer). The Philips LPRIZE LED bulbs do in fact work well with this dimmer, with no flicker, hum, buzz, or other issues (note that the specific 10Z model is not on Philip's list of "compatible" dimmers). As someone pointed out in another review, these bulbs have both a red and a blue LED and when they are very dim the blue LED cuts out first, making he bulbs glow red. With the Leviton IPL06-10Z dimmer, however, you can easily program the minimum brightness to be just above the level at which the blue LED cuts out. The Philips bulbs will then range from very bright to quite dim while retaining their warm white color throughout. Now these bulbs are useful to me!

This lightbulb is amazing. I believe in efficient lightbulbs, but I find the light from CFLs hideous, even the ones other people think look just like incandescents. I can always tell which is a CFL without looking at the bulb--it's the one that makes everything around it ugly.

I was happy when Philips came out with their 12.5 watt LED bulb--the one that looks like this one, except with a dark gray ribbed base and an orange (rather than yellow) top. While the light from that bulb is not as beautiful as incandescence, it's also not unspeakably hideous. It has a very slight fake pink tinge that I can live with, though it's not ideal. I replaced several of my incandescents with it.

When this bulb came out, I read that it had a higher CRI (Color Rendering Index) than the 12.5 watt version, 93 instead of 80 (out of 100). Supposedly, the higher the CRI, the less the light makes the objects it falls on look weird and fake. Because I liked the 12.5 watt version, I was eager to see if I would like this one even better. I decided it was worth $50 to find out.

Turns out I love this new bulb. No fake pink tinge, no uglifying. It's completely acceptable. The light it sheds looks almost exactly like the light of an incandescent bulb. It's slightly brighter than the (already very bright) 12.5 watt version, it turns on immediately, it sheds light in all directions, and it doesn't heat up my lamp.

The only thing I don't like about it is the price. Once it comes down, I'm replacing my incandescents with this bulb.

Honest reviews on Philips 423244 10-Watt 60-Watt L-Prize Award Winning LED Light Bulb

I'm using a lot of the older generation Philips LED bulbs in my house and have been very happy with them so when I saw these L-prize bulbs selling locally for $39 I picked one up to evaluate. Overall I'm very impressed. It lights almost instantly, unlike the earlier 12.5W model which has a very slight delay between when you flip the switch and when the light comes on. The light quality is noticeably better, likely on account of the 92 (vs ~80) CRI. To get this improved color rendering index, these bulbs use a few red LEDs in addition to the blue LEDs that pump the phosphor panels. This adds additional red spectrum to the area where the phosphors are relatively weak and inefficient. This bulb claims 940 Lumens which I believe it lives up to. I know that side by side it looks MUCH brighter than a 13W curly CFL with similar claims. It's too soon to say how long these will last, but in the year since I started replacing my CFLs with LEDs, not a single one has failed. Even the dusk-till-dawn ones in my porch lights look as fresh as the day I bought them.

There are a couple of cons, none of which are deal breakers in my opinion. The red emitters appear to light a few milliseconds before the blue emitters, causing an extremely brief reddish flash when the bulb is first turned on. It's brief enough that most people are unlikely to notice but I am sensitive to these things. The second is that this model seems to be more picky about dimmer switches, and some that worked great with the 12.5W model cause some flicker with this 10W model. If you plan to use a dimmer, you might be happier with the 12.5W bulb.

In a nutshell, the cost is still high, but this is the Rolls Royce of domestic lightbulbs. If you want the best of the best and don't mind paying a premium as an early adopter, as of this writing this is the bulb to get. If you are on a budget, consider the earlier 12.5W model, you get something I would call 90% as good for roughly half the price. That said, these will easily pay for themselves if you are replacing incandescent bulbs, and if you are upgrading from CFL, you will get dramatically more pleasant light, no warmup time, far longer life, and no mercury along with marginally better efficiency.

This bulb gives off a nice, warm light similar to, but brighter than, a 60-watt incandescent bulb. It should provide a triple savings: air conditioning bills as well as lighting bills, and I'll never need to replace it.

I really wanted to use it in an overhead globe fixture, but this ran into two limitations of the bulb. The first is that it can only be used in fixtures open to the air -not ones that are totally enclosed. The second is that it doesn't work with my dimmer; Philips's Web site contains a list of compatible dimmers. I'd have been willing to replace my dimmer, but not the whole light fixture.

So I'll be using this bulb in a table lamp, and looking for a warm-light, dimmable compact fluorescent for overhead. Suggestions?

Discount Woods 13660 Outdoor Photoelectric Dusk to Dawn 24-Hour Digital

Customer Ratings:

I wanted a photoelectric eye timer that would work with my interior lights for an upcoming trip. Purchasing another brand (GE), the first unit was defective right out of the box. I happened across this unit at a local merchandise retailer in southeast Michigan. The description appeared to be just what I wanted. Programming appeared to be simple.

This timer is rated for 1000 watts -more than enough for multiple household lights. Unlike the GE unit, there was NO warning about using this product for more than 90 days in a row, which I found quite strange for an outdoor photoelectric timer controlling outdoor devices. There is only one output plug on the bottom. The power cord is a short 6" in length if it must be longer, then this unit must be connected to an extension cord.

There are multiple programmable settings that must be reprogrammed each time the unit is unplugged from the wall. Programming is cycling through the menu with the push of the green function button on the face, with an LED number readout displaying the following settings:

* F No Power (default start position upon being plugged into the wall)

* O Continuous On

* 1-9 Power on (in hours) at Dusk and then turn off

* d Turn on at Dusk and off at Dawn

* 1-9 Power on immediately and timer set (in hours) to turn off power

Do it a couple times and it will become second nature.

Also, whatever you program you select, this same program repeats daily. There is no provision for multiple programs at different times. This is a one program only timer.

How well does this timer work? In a dark room, I plugged it in with a test lamp connected and programmed the unit to turn on at dusk and turn off in 1 hour. It worked. I reprogrammed it to turn off in 2 hours. It also worked. The true test came at night -on at dusk (inside the house) and off in 5 hours. The light changes inside a house is less dramatic than outside, since other lamps and televisions can effect how well the photo eye actually performs. Mounted near a window, on a cloudy day, this unit sensed the decreased light inside the house and turned on an hour and a half before sundown. A table top lamp and television on inside didn't turn the unit off. Five hours later, the light turned off.

Overall, I'm pleased with this timer, even though the package states "For outdoor use only" it does work indoors as well, so long as enough light hits the photoelectric sensor and keeps the unit off. With a little repositioning, it works for me.

Have had several outdoor 'weatherproof' timers and some either didn't work at all or conked out in a rain or in most cases were too complicated to set for simple on and off operation. This one just plain works. Has a photocell to automatically turn lights on at dusk and you just program the number of hours you want it to stay on. Have had it running for two months and it is great. Set it and forget it. Inexpensive too.

I bought two more of these units in late Nov. 2011. Same great product; provided same reliable service. In an era where everything new seems to work more poorly than older versions, this is still a good, useful product. I continue to recommend it highly.

Original review: 11/20/2011

I bought one of these units about 12 years ago at a local hardware store (now out of business, fie on Lowe's). I use it outdoors, for Christmas lighting.

Each year I plug it in on Thanksgiving, and turn it off in mid-January. Here in Upstate New York there is so much snow, wind and cold temps by January, so I leave the switch outdoors until late March.

The switch is exposed to rain, snow, nighttime temps below -20 F, direct sun in the daytime, etc., etc. In short, it has tough duty outdoors in the worst 4 months every year.

It has never failed me. Comes on every evening at sunset, and stays on for exactly how long I set it. Nothing random or unreliable. Having a three-wire system is an extra plus for safety. I use a ground-fault receptacle to help protect against shorts, but in 12 years there has never been a ground fault short.

I particularly appreciate that the directions are embossed on the cover of the unit. Since I hook it up once a year, I never need to scratch around to find the programming directions. They are right there in my hand. It takes about 30 seconds to read the directions and program it. Very easy by any standard.

Today I'm buying two more of these little gems from Amazon, so if the first one ever goes out I'll have a lifetime more of them.

Very highly recommended.

I bought several of these for my outdoor Christmas lighting. I specically picked them because the product description stated "...125-Volt, 15 Amps, 1875-Watt resistive 125-Volt,...".

The timers arrived and are clearly marked "8.3 amps, 1000W". They are the same manufacturer's model as listed by Amazon.

I understand that most of these type of timers are max'd at 8.3 amps but, still, an item should match it's description.

Review of Lumisource LS-RETRO MANGO GUAC Guacamole Lamps Table Lamp Fixture

Though the product is called a table lamp, this is really more of a night light. It cannot take a high wattage bulb and is rather small. That being said, it works well as a night light for those midnight feedings and diaper changes.

Cheap Morning Glory Touch Lamp with Polished Brass Base

I ordered a pair of these lamps for our bedroom. They instantly dressed up the whole room. They let enough light through to be able to read in bed but they don't irritate the other person if they are already going to sleep.

This is a super gift for yourself or for anyone who loves and collects cat decor. I have the small one. It doesn't move lots of air, but it's all about the look. I've given one as a house present and two others for birthday gifts. Recipients were surprised and happy. It's kitschy but subtle.

I like this smaller size for the cat -it looks more natural than the larger one. The measurements given (7 x 8) are just for the blade housing I think. The whole piece is more than a foot tall. I have, however, given two of the large sized dogs to dog lovers. There are now new cat variations and many other figures by DecoBreeze, but this is still my favorite.

I purchased this fan for a dog-loving friend. She liked the way it looked, but it didn't generate a breeze. Since that is the purpose of a fan, she returned the item.

It's far nicer to look at than any traditional fan I have ever seen! I was very pleased with how quiet it is, which is a nice change from most of the smaller fans I've owned. I bought it for my office and it circulates the air very well. The quality of the finish and details is excellent.

These hanging pendant lights are beautiful, satin nickel finish, and the price was half that of the local big stores. They are a beautiful royal blue, which is my accent color for my kitchen, and they are even more beautiful than the picture. I highly recommend these lights and would purchase again from this seller.

I bought three of these pendants to be placed over a vanity in my remodeled bathroom. When I opened the box and took out the light, I wondered whether the glass would be too thick for the light to show through. I was wrong. The light does glow very nicely through the glass, which highlights the beautiful, blue color. I used three pendants over a five foot vanity that has a black/silver granite top and a huge silver framed mirror between the vanity top and the bottom of the pendants. The effect is stunning. At the last minute in the remodeling process, I decided to put these pendants on a dimmer switch. It was a good move. You get an entirely different look when the lights are dimmed.
