can't compromise the looks with trim.

i've got lots of light for now. just measured i'm at 5" off the water. wife isn't home i'm going to sneak it up one more inch and see if she complains.

shows how much i pay attention. I've been doing gradual 1% increases and I guess I was at 66%. I'm now at 6" off water and 68%.

If she complains I might just make a narrow 6" strip of black plastic that can be placed on the trim directly across from the fixture's end as the glare is a very direct and focused bit of light that wouldn't require trim everywhere. Just that one spot couch side.

I'm sure at 8" and 100% I'd have next to no shadows even in the back.

LOVE THIS LIGHT.

Thanks guys, I'll just go with one then and for the custom bracket I'm going to get made for it, I'll ask for some extra holes... just in case I ever decide to put two
