Torn between giving this four or five stars because once it was installed, the bottom three lights did not come on. Thankfully my electrician was able to locate the problem loosely connected internal wires, likely from the manufacturer, and tightened them up. Once fixed, it worked beautifully. The light it casts is quite bright. So a dimmer is most highly recommended. Will attach pics to show how bright even the minimally dimmed setting is versus the maximum setting. The light fixture is modern which is what I wanted for my dining room whose atrium ceiling spans three floors. The way it’s hung, it looks like a modern piece of sculptural art. Everyone comments about how beautiful it is. However, I STRONGLY caution you to follow the installation instructions very carefully. Do NOT start snipping the plastic ties prematurely (while still in the box) because if you do, you’ll end up in a tumbled wired mess. Really is a statement piece! Very happy with it!

These are fantastic lights! Very bright (even for LED's), so I recommend using a dimmer.
