I want to illuminate stained glass window from exterior, above window. Would this be too bright -- or is there way to get a soft glow?Thanks!

I don't think it would be to bright but at full power its a very cold or 'white ' light. We have enjoyed these light but they need to be in direct sunlight.

I use these lights in motion sensing mode. There is a mode for dusk to dawn also. I don't on how much light you are looking for. I do enjoy them. I do need replacement batteries for down the road. Hope this can help you. Adam M

Hello, yes, it's built with soft-glow illuminating feature set up with SMART mode, when no detect movement around and can be adjusted for dimming level.Thanks,

surprisingly bright, but consider covering it with a colored translucent film. we love this light on the side of our house for night time.

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.

Yes. I use these lights in our front yard and they illuminate the second story of our home. Not sure how bright you want it. It's not super bright, just accent lighting. However as I have bought replacement bulbs I foun that depending on the brand, you can get it much brighter.

Well David, that is a good question. I have a light meter, but not where I have this equipment. What would you like to use this to illuminate? I may be able to answer based on your application. The range of color is amazing and it has worked perfect for anything where I have used this item. I have been quite pleased and I was trying to imagine the brightest setting and I can say that the light this strip throws is quite impressive. Sorry I cannot be exact with the lumens but If I knew what you would be using this for I could tell you if it would work, possibly.

I don't think it is for windows...only for any kind of glass or crystal on a lamp or a fixture....I personally disliked this product...used it on a foyer crystal tear-drop fixture and it made the crystal more cloudy. Am a little disappointed in this product for not shinning up the glass on my fixtures, thereby creating a "duller" look.

I was not impressed. If you ever need bright lighting (i.e. for reading, etc.), then you may want to go with a higher-wattage version. The light is nice, but if you can 'see' the bulbs, they do have some glare to them as they are clear, not frosted. If you are just looking for something that will give nice ambient lighting, you should be fine with them, though. I ended up using these in open, recessed can fixtures above our downstairs bar and they are fine there - but I don't need a bright light in that location. Also - these are NOT dimmable, so if the lamp has a 3-way switch, you may want to look at other options. Hope that helps!

Yes, it's bright. I have a small area and it brightens it up. Not quite sure about the total watts? ...it is beautiful! I needed it plug into outlet and the wiring for that was a little tricky but they give a help number to call and their assistance made it easy. Enjoy!

Guesswork here* Correct me if someone knows better. The color of the glass will not effect whether or not you can etch with this product. It will effect the end result. IE, etching on clear glass takes away an outer layer where the etch is and results in a frosted look of whatever shape you etched. So on black glass (assuming the glass is completely black and does not have a film on the outside or something with clear glass on the inside) it would likely just be black and wouldn't stand out much except on closer examination. I'm intrigued, how are the LEDs going to be used with the glass? Is it a glass window and there's LEDs on the inside surface?

I am using a 3 way bulb, 50-100-150 which is plenty bright enough for reading (I mostly use the lowest wattage). The light does come through the pattern on the shade; however most of the light is directed downward while leaving a little escaping through the top. This creates an almost diffuse lighting effect as it bounces off of the ceiling. I'm sure if you use a high wattage, you'll get enough light to indirectly light the whole room.

that's how I use mine. it lights up the side of the house has multi color patterns but it has a very intense light if you look directly at it. if it shines in Windows it could be a little bit glaring.

I don't know about inside or outside (manufacturer-seller would know) but I would think it would be fine for a skylight. Properly applied it is invisible on the window.

I would say bright, causes a shadow of the fan on your ceiling. Just cover it with tape.

I don't consider it to be too bright. It casts a lot of light behind and up the wall it's plugged into, but just a soft glow away from the wall. It's in our three year old's room after going his first two years with just a very dim blue light, and it doesn't bother him at all. You mentioned a small nursery; our room in about 10ft X 12ft.

You will need additional lighting because the wattage just isn't that big. I have them on either side of a 14ft (9 ft of window) x 5ft bump-out that I'm using as a dining area in my apartment, and they provide soft lighting rather than strong illumination. But they DO provide enough light that I don't have to have overhead lights in the area.

It's not as bright as a night light - it's just a gentle glow. I've put ours in the hallway. But if you put it in the bedroom opposite a window I would think it would absorb more light and maybe be brighter. Either way it's a lovely picture, really unusual and a definite talking point. Any visitors we have had have all commented upon it.Would I buy it / recommend buying it - Yes! In fact we have also bought the "Maple Tree" one for the lounge.Hope this helps. Gf.

I would not recommend this. The glass is not too thick. I put mine behind my existing window. The colors are really beautiful. I hope this helps you. Helga

I use it in a room with windows as well (partially lit at daylight, through curtains). Currently set at brightness -3 to -6 in eco mode for a use at night (i.e. I quite reduce the light output voluntarily) so I would say yes it is bright enough if your windows have some curtains or else to cut the light in.
