Light Society Sputnik 18-Light Chandelier Pendant, Brushed Bronze, Mid Century Modern Industrial Starburst-Style Lighting Fixture (LS-C115-BRS)

This mid-century modern style "Sputnik" lighting fixture could not be more perfect for the space above my entry way staircase. It makes a dramatic statement and introduces the overall modernist theme of my apartment's decor. And you CANNOT BEAT THE PRICE!!! I chose the 12-bulb nickel/silver finish version. I will admit I hired someone to install it - electrical installation skills not being in my wheel house - and also, due to the extremely high ceilings and location above the stairs, I needed a professional to accomplish the job. That said, the installation was fast and easy and the final effect is spectacular. It should be noted that the bulbs I chose are REALLY BRIGHT - so choose accordingly. Excellent design and I rate this an 11!

Really like the look of this light, looks more expensive than it was and have gotten some complements on it. It is relatively easy to install, I did have one minor issue with the setup though... Each one of the spokes that stick out need to be screwed into place, the problem I had was the electrical wire for each light ran through the center and some were a bit long and made it difficult to catch the thread to start screwing then together. It was a bit scary, as I thought I was going to break the wire or strip the thread.I think I ended up twisting the spokes counterclockwise like 2-3 times to wind the wire to remove slack, then twisting it onto the thread correctly. This stopped the wire from overtwisting as well. At some point you just had to be rough with threading some of them.

This is an excellent quality chandelier for the price. A bit larger than I expected, but it definitely makes a statement with our reclaimed wood wall. Obviously the most difficult part was connecting the arms, but setup was straight forward. Recommended dimmer switch worked perfect. I used the bort brand LED Edison bulbs and they are very orange. 2200K is a nice warm glow if you don’t mind the orange hue. The orange coating on the bulb probably helps somewhat to create a more orangish hue for sure. Overall extremely satisfied with how this light turned out!

The light is really pretty. My only gripe is you should take your time or you may end up with a sore carpal tunnel wrist/arm.There's a lot of screwing involved. First, you need to screw in the support rods (3) to each other, and to the lower ball and the upper cap. So that's 4 so far.There are the individual bulb holders that you need to screw into the "stems" (18).The stems have to be screwed into the ball (18).Then you have to screw in the bulb (18).So we have 58 times of screwing a component in to another just for assembly. And each of these 58 screws require some 3-8 complete rotations (so, an average of say, 5). Assuming your wrist can do 1 full rotation in 3 turns of your wrist, that's an average of 870 turns!! Carpal tunnel anyone?It's a necessary evil, I don't think there's a way out with this design. So just take it slow. Stretch this project through the whole day if necessary.Also, instead of following the instructions to assemble the whole thing before hanging, I recommend hanging FIRST (leaving the stems shrink wrapped from package) before assembling the stems. It's a lot easier to hang, and you run a much lower chance of damage while attempting to hang. This was one time not reading the instructions worked out for the better for me!

Item was easy to install and looks great, our mistake, we used it as a dining table light and it's very bright, although i used dimmable led lights, but if you are looking to put on top of the dinning table like me, get the fewer light one. But it does look great

This is exactly the type of light fixture I was looking for and was several hundreds dollars less than comparable light fixtures I found online. The brass finish looks amazing and they packaged it up really well to make sure there wasn't any scratches or damage done during shipping.All of the arms were already pre-wired, you just need to secure the arms to the ball fixture by reaching inside and putting the nut on the threaded end of the arm. I'd recommend someone with smaller hands to do this as there isn't much working space, but they all went on pretty easily. The rest of the installation was easy. I just ran the wires through the rod ( I only ended up using one on my ceiling) and through the mounting base, hard wired to the wires in the ceiling. I was surprised how quickly I was able to get it done and was more than pleased with the finished look. I do have a slanted ceiling so I purchased an adapter that connected to the rod and base, which allows it to hang vertically.

This is a beautiful fixture. A great update on the original design of the Sputnik out of Italy and so easy to put up and put together with everything being prewired. The price is more than reasonable and I spent the same amount of money on light bulbs as it requires 18 bulbs. It can put out an amazing amount of light. So I recommend having a dimmer switch.

It looks great with my gold walls. It is also a nice quality product. However, I’m going to need to install a dimmer switch. 18 light bulbs are way too bright, but maybe I should do a little more research on light bulbs.
