I love the look of this fixture. It's definitely a step up from the very basic ceiling ceiling lights. I wanted to install myself, but when I saw the ancient wiring in my home, I thought it best to have an electrician do it. After he dealt with some of the old wiring issues, it was quick for him to install this. Light bulbs are easy to change. I am using compact fluorescent bulbs to maximize the light output. This fixture loses a star because it will be impossible to remove the concave disc underneath for cleaning. Once it is in place, it cannot be removed without a lot of work. I could probably use canned air for dusting the inside. I hope it doesn't need cleaning any time soon...
