Are these too bright for some rooms? 19w/1200 lum might be good for a kitchen but I'm wondering if they might be too bright for a hallway or bedrooms.

I have it in my hallway and it is a little bright for it. I do have it in a basement stairway as well and that works well to keep it nice and bright.

Yes they are way too bright but they are dimmable so you must install a LED compatible dimmer. Thes dimmers are about $25 each

I guess it depends on how close they are to each other. By themselves I do not think they will be too bright. I have 2 in my kitchen about 3 feet apart over a counter and it's very bright. One thing to note is that you can (and I did) install a dimmer switch with LED lights so you can choose how bright you want the lights to be.

they are very bright. I Used them in my kitchen under cabinet lighting and brighter then the fluorescent they replaced.

Hi. Output is dim! But I like them. I replaced 9 50 watt lights in my kitchen. Went from 450 watts to 81

Also not sure about the lumens, it's enough to read if placed within 20 cm of the text. Excellent light and brightness for pointing at a wall and getting some indirect light. Perfect for bathroom use when you wake up in the middle of the night and don't feel like turning on a ton of bright lights and you think night lights are annoying / wasteful.

Total lumens is not really relevant since the light is spread over 16 feet. For under cabinet lighting I'd rate this as more of 'accent lighting' than task lighting, although the 600 count strips are quite good!

Our bedroom is 30 by 17 feet. That's 510 square feet. We have two of them in that room. They are plenty bright enough for this much space. I'm pretty sure that if I only had one in the middle of our bedroom it would still produce enough light for the entire room. Not as much as two of them of course, but enough. Yours at 169 square feet should be just fine with one.

Not that bright after i put them up. Only has 35w and can go no higher. Would be too hot for light. I bought 2 of them and put the other one in my garage and didn't use it. Bought another one that would take 50w of light and it is much brighter. White walls too. About the middle or the side, i am not sure about that. Jerry

Cathy,I don't know how much help this will be, but we are using 6 at 20 watts each in an entryway with an 8 foot ceiling. The entryway is about 6' x 10', and while that's enough light for there, neither my husband nor I think that it would be enough for cooking/food preparation in a kitchen.Cheers,Ariane

I don't think it is bright enough to be a kitchen light (esp as the only light- possibly with additional task lighting...) We have 3 in our upstairs hall- a nice soft light but may not provide enough light for kitchen tasks (only has one bulb under the frosted glass). Hope this helps!

position doesn't matter, I have them in all positions at the house, for the kitchen they might not be bright enough you might need at least 15 Watt and depending on the size of the kitchen about 6 to get enough brightness. I have 6 in the guest bathroom (5Ft X10Ft) fixture sideways it's bright enough but the bathroom is small and then a 15 watt for the bathroom ceiling

I have it in the bedroom... it lights the entire room (which is large) but I don't know how well it would light a kitchen. Different ambience in a kitchen.

I use it in a kitchen and it works for that purpose. I would imagine it would be bright enough for you

Hi! I have these in a room with vanilla-colored walls, so it might influence my answer, but I have found they don't give a cold hospital light. I hope this helps!

Sorry for the delay in responding. I don't think I am qualified to answer the question for your needs, sorry. I installed them in my kitchen, the best I can offer is that the light is a white light, no blue tint and definitely not a warm (incandescent) type of illumination.

Lumins don't seem to mean much as far as brightness. I finally went by colortemp. Higher the temp the brighter. I just used a dimmer.

They have a very white light. Not like a soft white that you would have in a bedroom or bathroom. A whiter light than halogen.

I wouldn't call it bright like what I would want in a kitchen. We have it in a bedroom and need lamps to get full illumination. You might want to look for a fan that has both a downlight and an uplight. They cost more, but may give you what you need.
