This works great. It takes a fluorescent bulb (included) and a push button. The shade is semi-adjustable and can be turned upward a little (pictured). I always recommend rewiring vintage fixtures for safety. It is gold painted metal, and it has some cosmetic wear (pictured). It measures 15" tall, 6" wide, and 18" long. See all pictures. Shipping is free. I combine shipping on all my items
