We got this for our kids room that we rebuilt from the ground up as part of a major renovation. We were attracted to the shape immediately and the range of colours actually made it hard to choose. We went with the pastel green as it had a nice bright green cord (which was easily adjusted to length). Kids love it. As its a steel shade the light won't project around the pendant - only straight down. This suited our use case to provide less light at night, while we can switch on down lights separately to provide bright light. It has a white coating on the interior and would look amazing with an RGB smart bulb.
