This is a stunning value for a vanity light.The bulb base extends fairly low and the square base above blocks upward direction to make a great light pattern (crown-like with water drop effect to sides and below). Lower and I’m not seeing shadows cast on faces or vanity. For a vintage look and to accentuate crystal view, I chose 360° direction, 6w small, clear LED globes, 4000k daylight with Lutron recommended LED wall switch dimmer. Base socket is standard E26, so check your bulb dimensions don’t protrude past the crystals (the longer Edison bulbs might peek past the bottom of crystal chains).Walls are Benjamin Moore Aura Bath & Spa matte in ‘Misty Gray’ (Behr makes ‘Dusting Powder’ which is a slightly darker and very pretty if your room is brighter or larger). The wall color, this fixture and bulb style produce a blue green sea glass and mauve tone oyster shell ombre on the feature wall but it’s nearly marble white otherwise.This fixture really made the room. Budget an hour to hang chains after install. Mine are glass crystal hex with a slight lead content. Not too heavy, well cut. I get spectral color without prisms cast around walls. included install cotton gloves and one replacement crystal chain were very thoughtful of the manufacturer to include.Square mount base has a deco bevel edge, very pretty with coordinating chrome switch plates. 1900s ‘metropolitan’ look, modern transitional functionality! A sculptural glam touch. I’m very happy with it.Delivery with Amazon was a breeze.
