We purchased two of these lights, one for our front entry and one for our back patio. The beveled glass is beautiful and they provide plenty of light. These were professionally installed as part of our major home renovation. Not sure if insects will be able to get inside them easily or not, but time will tell. Overall we are very happy with the new look they have given our home!

This fixture looks good but is a little flimsy. One critical note it will not accommodate full length bulbs (i.e. nearly 4" long). You must use something akin to GE Crystal Clear blunt tip ceiling fan bulbs at just over 3" total length which I found at a neighborhood Ace hardware. If you use normal length candelabra bulbs, you will have to bend the sockets at an angle to put the cover on and it looks weird.

I love the look of this light, and it's a great accent in my living room. That said, be careful when installing this one. The center bolt that extends down through the octogonal globe is a little short, and as far as I can tell can't be adjusted to be longer. I was barely able to screw the end cap on the bolt that holds the globe in place. In fact, I could only turn it half a turn onto the bolt, so it was very precariously held together. You can't over tighten these kinds of lights, because only 4 of the 8 panes of glass touches the base, and if you over tighten the nut, it will actually cause those panes to break away from other four that have a 1/2 inch space between the bottom of the pane and the base. Once this happens, the light globe is ruined. I learned this the hard way when I overtightened the same light for my mother. When I bought one for my own living room, instead over over tighteing it, I took the metal ring that sits between the end nut and the glass globe (holding the globe in place) and I flattened it a little bit with a hammer. The ring was originally a little more than 1/4 of an inch thick. After flattening out the center a little bit, it gave me more room to tighten the nut down without cracking the globe casing. I was able to get two solid turns of the nut, which is enough to hold the globe safely. If you find yourself in the same short-bolt scenario, use this approach and don't over-tighten it.
