These pendant lights are just what I wanted to go over the bar between my kitchen and family room. I'm I am very pleased with the Nova pendant lights.They fit right in, like they have always been there and help greatly with kitchen tasks. They are rated for 100 watts MAX, we don't recommend 100 watts incandescent, the fixture seemed to overheat so we are using 23 watt florescent, no over heating and plenty of light, great for our vaulted ceilings.
