For now I'm using my opaque model of the Oron pendant light. I'll play with artificially lighting around it. My experiments with anything slightly less than opaque transparency have graphic glitches with parts of the "wall" cylinder sections going invisible. I also changed the texture of the brushed metal parts from aluminum (too dark) to shiny frosted metal at 10% scale which looks more metallic to me at the moment.
