I bought two of the lights to illuminate a shelf of three sculptures. I wanted something stylish but didn't compete with art.

They are exactly what was promised. The only problem was the long delivery time. I ordered and didn't hear anything for weeks. In the end, they were worth waiting for and I love them.

The Mini Glo-Ball features a beatifully frosted glass globe on a high quality fixture. The Mini really is that: mini. It works best in a confined space, such as a bookshelf, as it may appaer a bit "lost" on any larger surface. It's too bad that it's not dimmable (or at least doesn't have a dimmer included), as the unregulated light is quite bright.

This is for the mini glo-ball. This light is a lot brighter than you might imagine and does not have a dimmer. I'm using it in a decorative capacity on a small shelf and it works nicely for that purpose. I have not tested it out to see if you could read by it, but I almost feel that it is bright enough to provide light for reading. Quality materials and design make this simple light attractive and a nice focal point. I imagine you could arrange several sizes together for a light sculpture. It is small so I recommend using a cut-out of the shape and size for your prospective location to see if the scale is a good fit for you.

The mini glo ball is a great source of accent lighting that also creates a modern and clean look to any design. It's best to find an area, either floor or table, where it can be illuminated without needing to be turned off. I found out turning it off and on burned out the bulb within a month but if let on it's good for 4-5 months.

We bought a pair of these lamps to sit on a wall shelf. They are subtle yet well designed orbs. They sit nicely against other objects and cast a nice and soft light in the room due to the matte finish. We nightgown back and get another one!

I bought this as a light for a corner table which holds a large bowl and it got completely lost (yeah I know, it's refered to as "mini" for a reason). However, I then began to think of it not just as lighting but as sculpture. I moved it to a different space, incorporated it into the items displayed and it came to life. It looks beautiful and beautifully illuminates a formerly dark area.

My only complaint, no dimmer and the bulb is a bit harsh (and I can't find a smaller wattage). I'll be having it fit with a dimmer.

We are part of a national theatre chain. Many of our theatres, including this one, have bars. We use these table lamps on our cafe tables. The electric wiring runs right down the center of the tables, so only the globes can be seen. We frequently have to replace the globes due to patron fiddling. We have already paid twice as much for the same product from other companies. From now on, we'll be using YLighting for our table lamps, due to great price and quick turnaround.

at the suggestion of a friend, we put a mini glo-ball on a demilune table in our apartment to unify two large open, facing rooms that were to be lit, respectively, by the glo-ball C ceiling fixture and (among other lamps) one glo-ball F floor lamp. The demilune is the one antique in the apartment, and it's amazing how well the mini glo-ball brings it into harmony with everything else. it is a beautiful object in itself, too.

as for the more practical aspects of purchasing from ylighting.com, the lamp arrived right away, in perfect condition, and the pricing was excellent. i've since ordered again from ylighting, with the same results, and will come back again.

Great design and very soft light. I have one in my living room and one in my bedroom. The price has gone up a lot since I bought the first but thanks to Ylighting, I was able to get the second one. BTW, Ylighting is great!
