My client and I really liked the modern look of this light. We used it as a picture light for a very deep and sculptural wall piece that needed a picture light of nontraditional reach from the wall. Installed on a white wall at the end of the hallway it is almost invisible. It takes halogen bulbs but I used a LED bulb with the correct base at 2700 and it throws nice light.\n\nCould even be a cool task light - only improvement for this use would be if it didn't only swivel in one direction. All in all a great value.
