I used these lights in my entry foyer. They are very unusual and evoke positive comments from everyone, including my very traditional husband. Quality is exceptional. Electrician installed, so I don't know if there were any installation challenges. The light bulb sticks out slightly above the globe. Not sure if the electrician used the right bulb type. Regardless, if I had hung the lights just a few inches higher, the bulb would not be visible above the globe. Would definitely recommend and would buy these again!
