vandcooler, Welcome

Light and shadow, always a good subject, can be improved with interesting composition. Lined up, these look like one lamp. From the side view, the two lamps would be distinct, and also sit on the "thirds" intersects

and for the reasons given in that link would add interest. The lightest part is nearly too light, but still has color, so it isn't blown out. Overall it leans stongly to yellow; if that's what you saw, it's okay.

For an experiment, this will give you some information that later may help you take even better photos. In that sense, it's a good shot.

Basically same as what jiminy said try to not line up the lights next time because they look like one light instead of two. Also looks like there is a little bit of blur in the photo or it could be DOF but the top and bottom metal parts of the lamp look a little blurry. Might just be my eyes and this small picture.
