so 300 watts for 22.5 watts...NO!?
no, 3x7.5 watts in LEDs are about 100 Watts in total in old money. It's not too bright. But you can dimm it down, however not with an ordinary dimmer, it must suit LEDs. unfortunately, Philips doesn't have any recommendations on their Australian website yet as they do have in Germany for instance.

HI Everyone
I would appreciate your thought on this stunning Murano Ca Rezzonico Chandelier which is one of the most oppulent styles produced in Venice. Some versions dependent on size can take a team of 5 apprentices and 1 Master up to 3 months to make which to this day still blows my mind. A glass blower has around 15 seconds to transform a semi-molten blob into a piece of functional glass - amazing! Anway, please enjoy!

I know a lot of people here rave about this light but I just cannot bring myself to feel the same. I grew up in the country and I used to visit my cousins farm a lot and sometimes they would be crutching the sheep or removing the dags. Can you note the similarities between the first two shots?

On a brighter note I'm sure most of you have a dream light. The third shot shows mine, I don't have a place to put it as it measures 285 x 200cm but it only costs a measly $222,500.00. I'll just give you a minute to get back on the seat you fell off and what was that swear word that just came out of your mouth? I would order a pair but unfortunately my house is single story. Anyhow here's the link for those of you who are more fortunate than me and can pay for a light what I paid for a house. http://www.lladro.com/themes/temas.ilum ... _LIGHTING/

You've just made me realise why I just have never warmed to those kinds of lights, LOL!

hahah love it I knew there was something about it that made me uncomfortable. You are right.
Dare I say, "I couldn't quite put mu finger on it...." Love third picture. If I had a few spare millions to build my house I'd have one of those 3rd picture lights in every room. It is lovely.
