First thing. If you choose "antique brass", please be aware that there is nothing brass about these. These are brushed nickel through and through and the manufacturer really needs to change their product information. If you actually want a brass tone, order the polished brass.Second, I read a review from a frustrated purchaser, upset because they said that these actually take 10, C batteries rather than the advertised 8 - all while they were showing a photo of 8 batteries (huh?). So in response to that, ummmm, my dude, please double check your math before reviewing. These take 8 batteries just as advertised. :)Like some other reviewers, we went the route of rechargeable AA batteries and C spacers, rather than using 8, C batteries. 8 C batteries are heavy and we didn't want the light itself to struggle to support the weight. Plus, rechargeable is always better. We'll see how long they last being on for several hours each evening. Just note that if you go this route, it does make it more difficult to slot that last battery in, as the C spacers are just a hair bigger than actual C batteries.These were fairly easy to install. We drilled them into the wall because I'm not really about attaching a picture light to the back of my expensive frames. I love the dimmable feature, and the warm tone of the lights. All in all, absolutely perfect for the look we were going for.We do have some more expensive, hardwired picture lights and while these aren't that level of quality, they are definitely nice for the money and not the "piece of junk" another reviewer - who apparently hadn't even opened the package - reviewed them as being. They are nice, metal lights with an attractive finish. They are easy to adjust, and one remote will work for however many lights you have, you just need to aim it at whichever light you want to turn on. So no need for multiple remotes if you have multiple lights.All in all, great picture lights for the money!
