I would like to use this at work. I work in a cubicle office environment. Is this light so bright as to disturb other workers?

No. Not at all. The only coworkers who have even noticed it have been walking past. Then they want one! :)

The light is bright. My coworker uses her's in her office and it just benefits anyone around it. It is the reason I purchased mine.

No, not at all! It's certainly bright, but it shouldn't disturb anyone else.

I think it's probably one of the better lights for a cubicle environment. It may still be a bright spot for someone sitting across from it though. I propped up thin piece of cardboard to cut the glare the person me might see while still being able to benefit from the brightness.

You could use it at the office, but most people recognize when they see someone using a "happy light" that they're trying to treat some kind of mental condition and this could affect your ability to get promotions or retain your employment.

Absolutely. I use mine at work in an office. Definitely not overly bright but helps with the winter blues!!!!

i don't think so.. it kind of glows more than shines. and if you put it on the floor, it would probably not go over the cubicle walls too much. i actually put it on the floor outside my office with the door open and i keep thinking the sun is coming thru the window - but it's just the light. so even if your coworkers see it, it would probably not bother them.

No it would not be too bright. If someone were to be 12 to 16 inches and staring into the lamp, perhaps.

2800 lumens. All four of mine buzz rather loudly. The buzz might be okay for a shop environment but it's not acceptable for me in an office or home space.

John - I can't give you the specific lumen values . . . from an 'application' standpoint, the light is adequate for reading or workspace lighting (in close proximity). It is not sufficient for general room illumination or outdoor lighting

Check my picture http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B00H1FCUBY/ref=cm_cr_dp_cust_img_see_all_txt. It's a recessed light and not very visible because it points down. Also like the other answer said it is quiet dim. I guess if you were in a low light situation and pointed it at someone they would be bothered bothered by it.

It's bright settings are ideal. The high brightness is super bright, plus you can learn a trick by strobing between the high and low beam, a great tool to alert people. It is small, and I would recommend getting the belt clip or sheath for it. It's a great and bright light, I would definitely recommend it.

I have it mounted in a hutch on my desk, and the desk is warm wood tones, so that affects the ambient light, making it seem warmer. However, just looking directly at the light itself, it does not seem to have any of the cold, "Office Space" cubicle blue tinge.

It is mostly a focused light. For most desk purposes like general lighting it would not be adequate.

I have 3 of them installed about 5 feet above my computer desk. It is adequate lighting for working at the desk, but not for the rest of the room.

I would have to take it apart and inspect it. I've had mine for a little over a year(used at work and home). Its been dropped from over 10ft. a few times. It still works without a problem. No problems what so ever. For its size, it is very bright. Only issue I have is the battery life. It is not as long as they claim. If u need a light that needs to stay on for a long period of time, you may want to check out a different light.

Brightness is personal preference. You might be fine with it, and another person may not be. So unfortunately I'm unable to answer that. keep in mind that the directions explain that the light should not be directly in front of you. So you might want to place the light in the corner of your desk.

YES! You will need to sit a little closer to it, so the light hits the retina. Some people need to be in a A WELL LIT ROOM as well (even when using a full sized box) and I wouldn't use it in the dark...but I find it to be equal to any of my boxes and a lot easier to use...portable, too. The price is well worth it.

It's probably bright enough, but it is a cheap China made product. Mine has not had a problem yet,but I'm sure it will in time. If you want it to last buy a more quality product. I have mine just for fun and it works well! Hope this helps.

well.... I use it in my bathroom EVERY morning. I apply my makeup with it on and in front of a make up mirror. I love it! As far as too bright at work it depends if you share a space with people.... I would never mind it if you were to use it near me in any setting. It is quite bright but for me it is wonderfully soothing and spirit lifting! There are 2 settings, one low and one high. If you have your own desk or your own area that you work in, I think it would be absolutely fine to use at work! Maybe your co-workers would get along better if they are exposed to it! Good luck!

I for one just use this particular lighting fixture behind my head post bed for a very nice reading lamp in my room but, I do not think it is real extravant for office use.... anyway's works great for my needs.

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.

It's definitely bright enough for using as an under cabinet light. You can adjust the angle/direction to get the response you want. I do find it comes on with minimal movement, but that is what I want. If I didn't I'd find a way to turn it or partially cover the sensor to make it less sensitive.

It is a very bright strobe. It is visible from Any location. If this were in a large Office complex it would be visible. We purchased two for deaf person. One in kitchen one in living room.. at night They light up the house.
