do 6 bulbs provide enough light for a 10 x 12 dining room?

I am using the bulbs to replace outdoor garden halogen bulbs with LED's. However, they are pretty bright -- uplighting trees and such -- so 6 should really light up a dining room! Also, these are 12volt and may not be suitable replacements for regular MR16 bulbs unless they are low voltage.

Susan, if you like a very bright dining room, then no. If you prefer a dimmed light, they are perfect. Also, there is no heat from the bulbs and the light is not as warm as a typical MR16.

If I'm not mistaken, there were 7 lights. I used the lowest watt bulbs - 15w and it gives off a huge amount of illumination, I also have it on a dimmer. So this chandelier will give off plenty of light for a dining room. I have it in my entry way. You will love it! Oh, and its just a 120V, single phase.

No I do not think they will give enough light. I used them inside paper lanterns. The tables were inside with low lighting. These were smaller than I expected but served the purpose for me. Hope this helps!

In a kitchen area, you want bright lights. I'd use 4 unless you have other lights (under the counter, sink lights, etc.).

For our living room the two 60W bulbs seem to be fine, but we still prefer to use the table lamps, and only turn the ceiling fan light on when we need the extra light. Take a look at the specifications of the fan from the manufacturer.

Thanks for asking. I don't know the size of the area and ceiling height, and 9 watt is not really a lot. I think with a bunch of these bulbs installed, not so far away from each other, and with good reflectors you may be able to get a decent brightness. I also don't know if a single remote will be able to control multiple bulbs to adjust the colors. There are higher Watt RGB Leds available and of course, higher the watts, larger the heat sinks and amount of money you have to pay.

I put 60 watt bulbs in it and it lights up my dining room very nicely. This is a gorgeous light fixture!

I guess that depends on the size of the room. I have it hanging over a rectangular dining table in a very long room that serves as my dining room and living room. It is the only source of light for the "dining" side of that room. I have four 40 watt bulbs in it, and have it on a dimmer. When at full power, it is quite bright.

I bought 2 of them for a dining room and they do well. I think one would do ok for a small bed room but would not work if you wanted to do reading or needed BRIGHT lighting. I love mine and get a ton of compliments on them.

Well, for sure the light(s) would be good-looking in your kitchen. The issue would be ENOUGH LIGHT to cover what you want in the way of prep and cooking. Ours is over the dining table with a low-energy bulb and it takes awhile to heat up for brightness. Hope this helps.

I have an 8 pendant light fixture in my dining room that I use these bulbs in. I have definitely used them for more than 5 hours at a time without any problem. My fixture is on a dimmer though and I rarely have it all the way on, as the 8 bulbs together are very bright.

No, but I do not feel these would look appropriate for a formal dining room. They are somewhat larger then traditional formal chandelier light bulbs

ten (10 inches... you might get away with something less....but it no matter the size of your kitchen or wherever you want to hang these, anything less looks skimpy, I would think...unless you have a really really small place you are considering for this light.

As long as you have a grouping of these (three or more) you'll get plenty of light. These bulbs burn out often so take that into account. If you have 4-6 bulbs, you can expect to replace more than one every year.

Yes, there will be enough light, but its a very yellow hue. These are old fashioned filament light bulbs so they have a very yellow cast. It's bright, but not like an LED or CFL bulb. I think thet're really made for indoor lighting for ambiance.

i use 3 75W equivalent CFL bulbs to light up my room, which is about 15'x12'
