Let me tell you about this item! I purchased two of them and they work fine. Installation instructions are vague. Like others, I had to mount this about 16" from the ceiling to get enough light from it. The cord is too short - especially considering I mounted it 16" from the ceiling! You need to mount it above an outlet or you will need an additional extension cord. The entire thing is a bit flimsy. Since it is mounted on the ceiling and out of the way, this should not be too much of a concern. If I had small children, I would send this back, as I suspect it would not survive children, or cats! This item is probably worth paying $20-$25. It is not worth the $49 for each one. That being said, I was unable to find them cheaper. Once I had it in my hands, it just seems overpriced. Bottom line: would I order again? Yes, in certain situations, these work great, such as a home office. I would not put them in a kids room or a play room.Bought it for my new home. Very modern and a great idea to put up more lights without taking up floor space.These lights made a huge difference in a dark room. As others suggested, we mounted them a foot or so lower than the ceiling so they're more like a sconce. They're like a floor lamp that doesn't take up for space in a small room. Would definitely buy again.Works great had multiple compliments on them easy to installPlease forgive me about my bad photography skill. I love the lights so much. My new apartment doesn’t have light in the living room, so these two lights provide a great solution. If I have to complain about something, for the price of these lights, I really hope they would come with light bulbs.A perfect size for me to use as a reading light by my bed, although I intend to hang it on the wall. The color was startling as it's bright blue instead of teal. If "they" decide to make it in orange, please let me know. Great price, as well.I moved into a house and there aren’t any lights in the master or smaller bedroom. I bought these to put in my sons room and they are perfect! Highly recommendFor what you get, this is stupidly overpriced. A metal frame (mine was not even straight when received, I had to bend it back into shape a bit) a wire with a cheap plastic switch, a cheap bulb socket, and a thin piece of clear plastic. The instructions are poor, it doesn’t even mention some of the parts received with the product and how to properly utilize them.This entire product should cost $20 at most.
