Anyone who reads this review might realize that the review reflects more on ME than on these lovely pendant lights. I found the pendant lights that came with my renovated condo rather uninteresting and sometimes too bright. However. These pendant lights are CLEARLY decorative rather than functional. I like them enough that I am trying to think of ways to make my now-very dark kitchen brighter, but I might have to remove these pendant lights and find a different place for them because I liked the look of them so much I ignored the reality that metal spheres with holes poked in them are not going to give off a whole lot of light.
