Red Lantern20" Taka Japanese Bamboo Hanging Lantern

This is a charming shade but most ceiling fixtures intended to "swag" come with a reasonably long cord (typically white to blend into white ceilings?). This lamp comes with a black cord that is very short (too long to hang from a track adapter plug, but too short to swag to an outlet not at the ceiling). For some reason, it has a large on/off in-line switch on the cord too -- not sure why since you'd have to climb a ladder to reach it once the shade was hung from the ceiling? You'll need an electrician to rewire this, I think. Too bad because the effect when lit is very pretty (thus two stars) -- for the price not worth the hassle.

Cord is suuuuuuper short. Had to swap it out with another cord to hang it from my ceiling. As long as that's within your capabilities and you know you'll need to do it, buy with confidence. The actual lantern looks great and the light diffuses quite well. Very happy overall. -1 star for the laughably short cord.
