Would this light be too bright to use at work, on a desk and so only 2 feet away? Thanks!

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'm not sure it would be easy on the eyes, to have it that close. My husband has it on his night stand, and where he is laying is about 3 feet away, but he is never looking at it directly.. It is very bright ! I suppose having it setting close by would not hurt anything, as long as you didn't look right into it. Have it off to the side , out of direct line of your eyes, and that might be ok..

Hi JoeIt is not a task light for sure if you want it for reading work on your desk. It would be great for a nice soothing light. That is what I needed. Also, it is great for people like me and a very good friend who had depression issues -- a lot due to lack of light where we live. I do think it can uplift the spirits naturally.Hope that helps

I have it 2 feet away on my desk. It takes a little getting used to and then it's fine. It does have a two settings, one is very bright and the other is not as bright. I usually use the dimmer light.

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.

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.

it has good light if working on an item close around it....but would be better I think with a brighter light for a little more distance.

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.

I use mine in the office and the buttons are bright enough to be seen across the office about 12 feet. There are not super bright but very functional.

I like reading in bright light, but this would probably be too bright. I haven't tried it though.I doubt the angle would work very well either.

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

I use it on my computer desk which is in the corner of my room. So it does provide a bright light since it is LED however it is better at illuminating a small space.

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.

It would make an excellent task light. You can aim it as you like and the brightness is not excessive but just about right for reading etc. The quality is also very good along with the price.

Hmm, maybe if your outdoor area is really dark. In an office, it really needs to be fairly dark to be seen. I wouldn't think it would hold up if you had ambient light from outdoor street lamps or from your home.

No, it would not be bright enough. I bought two as flood lights and they hardly light 10 feet ahead

It is a nice bright white light that is good for walking around and checking on fuses, etc. I wouldn't use it for long range lighting but rather 15 to 20 feet ahead.

I think it would. I use it to study and it lights up most of my desk space.

I think the answer is somewhere in the reviews and my guess is at least a hundred. I use it in my bedroom to work in bed and it is plenty bright for that. If I look directly into it I am blinded for a few moments. Unless you want to light an entire room, this light should be bright enough for reading, crafting, computering, etc.
