Do you think this Fan/ Light gives off good light, or does it appear pretty dim?

It was beautiful but dim. We ended up changing out the light kit as we used the fan in an early area.

It appears pretty dim. I would choose the white fan. It gives good lighting.

It gives off the amount of light you want depending on the wattage of the bulb you put in it. Hunter are the best and quietest fans out there. You cannot go wrong with a Hunter.

My two cents--I don't think it is like a spot beam. It seems to have a pretty good spread. Brightness is going to have a lot to do with the room, color of the walls, size. The light is pretty much the same as coming through a frosted glass. We got it for the fan and have additional lighting in the room.

Mine is installed on a cathedral ceiling. It is bright enough for a family room, but you would have to be near it to read comfortably. I am going to try a bright white or daylight bulb. The soft white bulb along with the frosted globe makes the light too yellow. On a scale of 1 to 10, the brightness is about a 7. That being said, GET THE FAN! You will get more compliments than you can handle! We don't turn it past medium speed because on high it will blow you away!

Not sure, and yes the light is not fancy at all. I put this fan in a bedroom.

Meka Willinger Francis said on May 1, 2015 | Edit I own the fan and also don't like it when LEDs are too bright. One of the lights was a bit bright for me. I use a product called Light Dims (also sold on Amazon) that are basically stickers to cover the LEDs I find annoyingly bright in my home. There's a completely opaque version and one that lets a little light through so you can see the LED if you're up close (I find these sufficient).

It should give off a little bit more more light. I also replaced with clear and LED(?) lights and I think it helped. I wished I found one that came with 6-8 light bulbs for more lighting, but I needed one that is simple yet conservative/elegant, less frills... I'm still very happy with this purchase.

Obviously the answers are going to be pretty subjective and all over the place regarding brightness. I think they are WAY too bright. The area around the fan is very illuminated and it creates huge shadows on ceiling. For me it was a MUST to cover with opaque tape.

I think thaty that I have seen that it was Dim-able. I use mine where I need a lot of light. Like the area to eat and cool. They have enough light that even when fly tying you do not have to have a close light.

I believe itwas something they added. Mine do not dim. I tested different bulbs and found the 25 watt ceiling fan bulb to be best for light but not to bright.

You can brighten or dim the light. If you dim it all the way it appears as if it is off.

That's a really subjective question. I think it's a bright light when turned up all the way (we have ours on a dimmer) - glaring almost.

It's a pretty soft light. However in a pitch black room it would seem pretty bright. I use it to light up the bottom of a stairway when I go downstairs in the middle of the night,and it lights the whole area. Say a 6ft circle. But it's not a blinding light even if you stare at the shade. You might consider one with a dimmer switch or install one on a corded lamp (check youtube). I love mine. I'll probably get another one at some point. Hope this helps.

It does not give off much light. We have one on either side of our television in the basement. We use them for ambient lighting.

It works in a room with other lighting sources but it is not terribly bright. Love the fan and the remote features and looks great.

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.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I finally had it installed. It does have a light and I am very satified with the fan.

1 light. Decent amount of light, but probably not sufficient for an entire room without some additional lighting in the room. Pretty quiet and overall I am very happy with it. The installation (from what I am told) was a little tricky, so if ceiling fan installation is not your forte, just pay someone else to install it.
