Hey folks,
I'm a longtime reader, infrequent poster. I never thought I'd ever post a "showoff" thread but I just installed this bad boy in our new dining room and I gotta say, it looks badass. It's an Illusive Concepts that I picked up in an auction when Sharper Image went bankrupt. It was perfect timing and right in my backyard so I could pick it up. I'll never forget walking out of the Sharper Image corporate office with my buddy carrying this. It instantly stopped everyone on the street. "Is that who i think it is?"
The lighting cost about $125 at Ikea. All LED, so he leaves a small carbon(ite) footprint.
I could have mounted it on the wall but I get a certain safety satisfaction with it on the ground. The vent it is sitting on is intake only so not hot air is blowing on it (everyone asks that first). Some day I may mount it and build a base for it but right now I like it just where it is.
When the sun sets and the lights go on....man, it is something to behold.
