I would also add Mark Bickers, and his cut pendant light, which I have been in love with for years, and am determined to install in every house I own — the more hung together, the better.

Great look and the craftsmanship is appreciated. However, what worries me is the fact these globes use incandescents, and not even the newer, more efficient incands.

Granted, compact fluorescents are growing in popularity and would probably offset the use of these fixtures when used elsewhere in a project. What the world needs is a more efficient clear Edison bulb, or mandated use of CFL’s in typical applications and reserve these for special situations.
