The fixture is attractive however the 35w MR16 gets very hot and I think is too bright for reading. You can not touch the upper portion of the fixture when the light is on unless you are wearing oven mitts.

I love these contemporary lights. I can't claim to really know how easy they are to install - I had someone do it for me, but they came with no assembly required, so I assume it was pretty simple. I love the contemporary style, and they provide good task lighting for reading.

We love the look and size of the wall lamp. However, it gets very hot and will burn you if you touch it. We purchased lower watt bulbs, but that didn't help lower the heat. The light is clean and great for the task otherwise.

We love our reading sconces--they're wonderfully flexible, they look great in any position--we often comment on the shapes that are produced by either or both of them as a unit around our bed. The only thing that would make them perfect is if there was a dimmer adjustment. Otherwise, they're excellent!!
