These modern lights (about 5 years old) have a retro look, with a bronze frame with real glass. They are about 12” diameter. The glass itself is roughly 4.5” high; in addition the bronze metal is about 1.5” high. So, in all, the lights sit about 6” from the ceiling. Can use up to 2 bulbs to manage the amount of light you need. Prefer to sell all 4 for $40.
