Billiard Island Hanging Fixture By uaezarb on Mar 04, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

We bought this Murray Feiss hanging light for above the island in our kitchen about three years ago. I loved the style and size of the light. It has a bronze finish and is about 36" long with three lights that take a regular bulb. The shades are frosted a light tan color. It is about 21" tall. It gives off a lot of light, we have 100 watt bulbs in the fixture and have it connected to a dimmer switch so we can control the amount of light we want. That makes it perfect for preparing food when I want a lot of light or when we have company and want to sit at the counter and not have the light glaring in our eyes.

I have been very happy with this fixture, and have had only one problem with it. Not too long ago I decided to take the frosted glass shades off and clean them under the faucet. I used hot water and was horrified when the frosted finish started coming off! It was apparently only sprayed on, so I was forced to take all the finish off all three shades and am now left with frosted white shades. I am very surprised that these shades had that quality, as Murray Feiss is usually a dependable company.
