I love the lights, and they arrived very quickly. There was only one problem. The external caps that screw on and hold the lights in place, the threads were messed up. There were 2 extra caps included , but only one of those would work. My electrician had a heck of a time getting 2 caps that would screw on. The semi-flush light and the bathroom light had the same problem with the caps. Otherwise, the lights are great!!

Tips on Lighting a Hallway

Hallways don't need to be boring!  Though this area of your home is often forgotten when it comes to designing, it shouldn't be - it is one of the most frequently used areas of your home and should be an extension of the rest of your decor.  For shorter hallway areas, a nice flush or semi-flush ceiling light would be a great accent or, if you have taller ceilings a nice pendant would be a nice addition to this space. If you have a long hallway, you may want to consider sconces.  They have a wonderful aesthetic appeal!  To place sconces in your hallway (or any other area of your home) you want to space them every 8-10 feet and they should be approximately 60 inches off of the floor.

The mirror was cracked diagonally on arrival. Very disappointing but when we called, customer service was very helpful and is sending a replacement mirror. Hopefully, this one will be in one piece!

The right size light for your foyer

Choosing the correct size lighting fixture for your foyer can be a bit tricky but here are a few tips to help you out:

• To determine the proper diameter for your fixture, add the length and width of your foyer in feet together and then change the final figure to inches (example 11 feet + 12 feet = 23 inches)
• To determine the proper height for your fixture, remember that the bottom of the fixture should be at least 7 feet from the floor.  If you have an 8' or 9' ceiling, a flush or semi-flush mount would be best for your application but if your entry is 10' or maybe a double entry because you have an upper level, you could go with a pendant or a grand chandelier
• If there is a window above your door, you should choose a fixture that you can center in the window to be seen from outside your home

Valenaza Regency Gilded Gold Pendant Lighting Product Code: 1664-479

Product Code: 1664-479
Had no problem installing & does give a nice lighting effect on the adjacent walls through the pendant. One point is the black color of the electrical wire insulation. All my current chandeliers have clear insulation on the wiring giving a copper look as it goes up through the chain. This camouflage\'s the wire...

Bathroom Vanity Light Product Code: 3711-ba4-cb

Product Code: 3711-ba4-cb
The light we chose is working well in our guest bathroom. Though it doesn\'t give off as much light as our previous one it is adequate for the room. It was delivered in a very timely manner and installation was fairly easy. Because the light bulbs can be seen we went for regular 75 watt incandescent bulbs.

Drums, Drums and More Drums

The latest lighting trend seems to be drum style pendants and chandeliers surrounded by drum shades.  There are hundreds to choose from and the choices can be almost intoxicating!  There are drum shades in fabric, glass, acrylic and metal.  They range is design from clean and simple to stunning to eye-popping conversational art that can only be described as amazing!  With the move towards "going green" there are also a lot of new designs featuring organic materials embedded in the shade material such as ferns, wheat grass and even coffee beans!  There are drums made up of glass cylinders inserted in a metal ring, there are drums made from weaving materials together into a pattern and there are drums with a filigree laser cut pattern on a metal or fabric shade which seem to be the most popular choice at the moment.  One of the coolest designs I have seen is the "Jellyfish" by Cyan Design - this stunning fixture is available in a variety of colors and features multiple waving glass arms flowing in all directions that are surrounded by a fabric drum shade (the link is below) - these are just too cool for words to describe!  With the multitude of options to choose from, there is a drum pendant or chandelier to suit any style you have in mind!

How many types of Nickel finishes are there?

What is the difference in finishes? Just to name a few, there is Satin Nickel, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel - how do you define what each one is?

A Satin Nickel finish is typically "satin" or "velvety" in appearance and somewhat dull

A Polished Nickel tends to be very shiny, similar to Chrome but greyer in overall color tone

A Brushed Nickel finish is also dull but usually has abrasion or bush marks on the surface

An Antique Nickel finish can range from darker gray to almost black depending on the manufacturer and can be either very smooth or alternatively, can also have some brushing or streaking to make it look more aged.

While all finished are popular, the one you choose is all about personal preference.

Product Code: 4508vz
This is a great looking light. It really makes the room look fabulous. The only frustration is that my electrician was having a hard time with the down rods landing in the top and hanging correctly. He had to work on it it for a which made the bill for his installation $270-ouch. Love the results!
