After searching what seemed like forever on the net for a great light to go above my island, I finally came across this one! I can't say enough fabulous things about this light! For starters, I was replacing a flourescent light, so whatever I chose had to put out enough light to actually be useful (not just for accent lighting). This light, even with no other light turned on in my kitchen, lets out plenty of light so that I can cook. Alot of colored pendant lighting let off a wierd colored glow, this one does not do that! Just a nice bright light, the higher the bulb wattage, the brighter the light you will get (I think I have 40 W in each pendant). Red is a difficult color to do, so I was very pleased with this color. The red, when the light is turned off, is a true, deep, bright red, if this makes sense. It is not a maroon red, or a brick red, but just a rich red, with black swirls throughout. When turned on, the pendants still looks like a true red, just a little lighter. Everyone who comes in my kitchen loves this light, and it appeals to my friends who have traditional taste and those who have modern taste. It is a very transisitional style that goes with any decor! Again, I get more compliments on this light than I do my chandelier over my dining table that I spent tons of money on! The price of this light does not reflect the quality of this light! You won't be disappointed in this one!!!!!!!!!!!!
