I wanted a pendant light for over my sink to replace a florescent fixture. I looked at 1000’s of pendant lights for months! For me the pendant needed to be a dark fixture to go with my black cabinet hardware. It needed to not block my view out the window, not be a light bulb hanging in front of my face, bright enough to mimic my old florescent fixture, dimmable, and attractive. This fixture does all the above. It’s perfect. The bronze is solid in color. The canopy, chain and hardware holding the bulb and pendant are beautiful and substantial. Love it!
