Houston, we have a light

I went to 4 hardware stores yesterday, and it was all because of light bulbs. Yep, light bulbs were the biggest drama for our new light fixture, not the installation (which only took Brent 45 minutes). The instructions about the light bulb type were wrong, which lead us on a wild goose chase around the city in search for a light bulb no specialty store had. Only later did I discover it was CB2's mistake, when I started reading the reviews.

I'm madly in love with the Firefly Pendant Lamp though – it looks great. I only wish it was about 6 inches longer. Later on, I can see is adjusting the shortest pendants to become the longest – but for now, everything is staying as is.

The cables are still straightening out, but you get the idea. :)

  6. So I'm thinking of getting this fixture. Which bulbs did you end up having to get? 25W candelabra bulbs? Are you using 25W? Are you using antique/edison style? Does it give off enough light? I'm worried about lighting my table with this light. Is it enough do you think?
