Havana Suspension

The lamp was beautiful! Shipping was fast. Unfortunately it does not fit where I need it to, so I'll have to keep shopping.

I love the proportions of this hanging lamp. It is perfect in the high-ceiling application where it is hanging. I chose the "ice" color option for its cool beauty...but then warmed it from within with a pink (and dimmable) bulb.

we used two foscarinni havana pendants (white) hanging from a sloped ceiling about 12 feet and 14 feet height - the 51" tall cigar shaped form engaged the space beautifully and became the focal point of the room. Plenty of bright light when fully illuminated (100W) per light, sexy glow ambiance when dimmed; no distince hot spots (the lamp spot is brighter of course), but well diffused light through the fixture. There should be a sloped canopy otion however, but we made do. I will use these again and would be interested in the clear version but wonder about the light dispersement. No dissapoointments, only delight from our design group.

The parts are well made. Strong suspension cable, bulb socket, hardware, etc. It is a very simple design and use of materials. It looks great. I have it hanging in my stairwell because one end of the stairwell is two floors in height from the bottom of the stairs to the top of the ceiling. This fixture takes up what was empty and awkward looking space and now it looks like the space was designed to showcase the light. It is very good for filling up empty vertical space and making it interesting. Prior to this I was looking for art to fill up the space, this light filled that need. I used a 100 watt clear glass halogen bulb to get the maximum light out of the fixture. It provides good light, the fixture itself has frosted plastic diffusers which diffuse the light; therefore I recommend clear glass bulbs instead of frosted. I tried to find a better price online and couldn't. Given the simple design and minimal materials I expected it to cost less. Expensive, but glad I got it, love the look.

Fixture was a flimsy plastic shade and a lamps socket. I'm not sure what could have made the cost nearly so high. I would not buy another fixture from this product line.
