I have owned the three light and two light version of this fixture for two years now and am looking to replace both of them because the replacement bulbs cost eight dollars and only last about 3 months, making it expensive to operate. I like the way it lights and looks though. I will never buy another fixture that uses the CFL pin base type bulbs for uses in a bath area again. The bulbs dont last if you turn them off and on all the time and they are expensive to replace.

I priced light fixtures this large (36") in local stores and couldn't find anything close in a brushed finish for this price that didn't have exposed bulbs. This adds a very classy look to my bathroom and it goes up like any bathroom fixture would as long as you read the directions and be careful. It shipped well, some minor assembly as expected but no problems so far (has been installed two weeks) and I am happy with my purchase.

This is a great fixture. Well made and the sconces throw a nice amount of indirect light on to the ceiling and provide excellent frontal lighting for people in front of the mirror. Small B/Rs only need the 2-sconce fixture. Fluorescents take about 30 seconds to come to full brightness, but provide good immediate light. Time lag is far less apparent than for conventional CFCs.

Beautiful fixture, excellent job by Good Earth Lighting on the overall quality of the product, adequate packaging job. All that said... this fixture is 36" wide. If this had been mentioned in the listing, I would have bought the (2) light fixture instead. So my choice is to return it, AT MY EXPENSE, and buy a fixture that will fit the area that I have. Better description would have solved this before it took money out of my pocket. Enough said.

We've had this light for a couple of years now and as another review noted, the bulbs are very short lived and expensive. Additionally, two of the ballasts have failed as well and finding and replacing those ($20+ each) has been a top tier hassle.

It certainly works good as decoration but since I need it to act as a non-money pit light source too, I'm taking it down and replacing it with a dependable incandescent unit.

The lights are beautiful and look much more expensive then they were. In addition, the lights give off a tremendouse amount of light as well compared to most lights of that same style.

I ordered 2 of these light fixtures, however 2 of the glass diffusers were cracked significantly. I thought the manufacturer would replace them because of all the other reviews for the 3 light bar. They said call amazon. That is a joke. There is no phone number to call amazon. If I return it through amazon, I will only get a partial refund. Then the manufacturer told me that I was lucky because I could go to Lowes and special order the parts. They want me to pay to special order parts that came broken on my new light fixtures!!!! Horrible customer service!!!!!!!

The supplier fails to provide dimensions which is more important to me than the glass diffusers are Alabaster. Lack of dimensions is a deal breaker for me. Too bad zero stars isn't a rating option.
