Do you think that 2 lights provide enough lighting for a dinner? Because i notices they take up to 60W each, which is not that much for a dining room. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Depends on your room, your other sources of lighting (sconces, windows), your finishes and how bright of a space you want.

Think of your favorite upscale restaurants: they're not overlit like a school cafeteria, but have a nice soft glow. That's the type of effect you want in a space for relaxed and elegant dining.

You are probably right about that.Other than that, do you happen to know how i could hang it from a 5 meter (16.5 feet) ceiling? I noticed that it comes with a 1.5m (5 feet) cord. How high from the dining table is the right altitude to hang it? Thanks again.

They are perfect! I prefer not too bright light for dining. We even put them on a dimmer.
