Is this bright enough for reading?

Definitely. Using 3 60W equivalent LED bulbs is really bright. This lamp is really pretty, and I highly recommend that you use these bulbs, it worked best for me in terms of lighting and the product quality. It really lasts longer compared to the previous bulbs I've used. I hope it helps! Triangle Bulbs T95123-6 (6pack) - LED Dimmable 60 Watt Equivalent Daylight A19 Light Bulbs, 6 pack

Yes it is a very nice lamp. We got it for our son that put it beside his desk to read and he loves it. Nice heavy base. Seems to be well made.

It is suitable for reading. It has a concentrated light source over the book or magazine. I have a slight visual problem and it helps a lot!

I don't think it's bright enough to read by. It's really just a nice, low light that brightens up any dark areas you may have in the room. I originally bought it exactly for that purpose but liked it so much anyway that I decided to keep it lol! Keep looking if you really want something to read by but if you want a nice, trendy looking lamp, this is a good buy =)

that would depend on how good your eyes are..it only takes a 60 watt bulb....I need a 100 watt bulb at least for reading ....but it is lovely to look at and lights up a dark corner in my library...

I would say this is the type of light to give you "bright daylight". It is fantastic for reading and making a well lit room as you can choose the wattage you want. 2 lamps in a room that size should be sufficient .

Yes, there is certainly enough red light to read a document in the dark. In fact, the 10 lumens might be a bit too bright for your needs.

It's bright enough to light up a decent size room. However, may not have a high enough output to use for reading. It's a great light for camping and excellent for power outages.

yes it is plenty bright to read, no it only has on/off. You could cover the lamp with masking tape to dim it.

1 lamp should be enough for reading. IT's really bright. But if you wan to to cover the entire 5 ft space - get 2 of them.

If you turn the light on, yes. If not, you'll have to get real close to be able to read it. The thing with this unit is that it is pretty loud. Loud enough that I had to remove it from my living room because the noise was bothering me.

I have read books on an ebook reader that had it's own backlight using only this light. For a regular paper book, I use a 6-watt LED lightbulb in a reading lamp. I guess the answer is no. It's not bright enough for normal reading.

I would say its more of a novelty lamp than an actual reading lamp. The light saber is an LED light, so it is brighter than a regular light bulb, but I don't know if I would use the lamp regularly for reading.

Yes, but I doubt you'll find it too bright. It is a very low light. More of a glow than a light really.

You could read under it but it's not as bright as it should be for reading extensively. I think it's more suited for living room ambience.

ABSOLUTELY. They are nearly bright enough to read by at night, not quite, but nearly. What's also great about these is the fiber optic catches any light, which means these things are extremely effective in very bring sunlight as well. I have them and love them.

Nope. This lamp isn't good for reading because most of its light is illuminated upwardly. However, I find it great for accent lighting. And if you'll use it for such application, I recommend a 40W Equivalent LED bulb. It worked best for me, especially this bulb: (Pack of 4) G25 LED Bulb 6W, Warm white, 3000K, 40W Globe Bulb Incandescent Replacement, clear Cover, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

My seven year old says it's not bright enough to read a chapter book by. She says she could see well enough to read a board book or other book with big letters but not a regular book. She has very good vision, so she's probably a reliable source. Blue is brighter than the other colors so it might work, but a headlamp would be probably be a better bet for reading in a dark room.
