We have two hanging above the dining room table and they look very nice. The bulb provided is a bit too white for the coloring of the lamp so looking to switch to a warmer hue. The seams are visible but we have them facing out to the window. Also, they do not hang level so will need to see how to fix that.. Anonymous. Mon Dec 23 2024

The Chittering Single Light Pendant by Eglo is a beautiful choice for your lighting needs. Hung from a black textile adjustable cord with a gold accent ring and the Black Transparent Vaporized Glass Shade offer the perfect touch of deep neutral color to accent your room.

These pendants are a great addition for a small island countertop (7ft). They really elevated the aesthetic of the lights in our kitchen. You can use any A19 bulb, but we ended up using Edison bulbs to dim the lighting from the pendants. If you're a tall person, make sure you hang them at an ideal height, as the glass does not block all light and will hit your eye level and will not be pleasant -- part of the reason we chose to use Edison bulbs.. Be aware that if you don't have the pendant ready electrical, you will need to install a pendent conversion kit for recessed lighting, which requires a few tools and a capable hand. Conversion kits are cheap-ish, but will require additional cost, which is something we hadn't considered. . Jillian. Westminster, CO. Sat Jun 18 2022
