This replaced a fixture with three halogens that we loved until about the third time a transformer or bulb failed. It is a wonderful minimalist design. My wife and I both independently picked it as the only design worthy of replacing what we had.
However, the equivalent of a 40 watt bulb is barely enough light, and it has to be lower than we would like in order to read without supplemental lighting. I suspect it cannot be upgraded to higher wattage due to heat in s sealed compartment. Other designs with more power and dimmable don't have the elegance or height adjust-ability of this one. It seems to me they could provide better ventilation above the bulb to allow higher wattage without significantly compromising the design.
My wife thinks the light is too blue ("colder" in the counter-physical nomenclature of lighting) while I prefer it to normal "warm" lighting.
