The instructions were a bit misleading and not as clear as I would like to see. I usually follow instructions very well and these confused the life out of me. Also included were instructions on how to paint the bowl. The painting did not refer to this particular light and I am glad I called and questioned the instructions before I attempted them. The gentleman I spoke with when I called to question the painting was very pleasant and upon my description of the light to him knew immediately that it should not be painted. It was very nice getting a real person when I called. That is a real plus.
