I'm about ready to buy two but have one more question. Does this lamp put out much light? The shade looks dark and since there is not a picture of t

Yes it puts out quite a bit of light. What's great is you can have one bulb on or both lights. It's a main light in the living room. Nice light.

Yes, Id does put out a fair amount of light. The upper part holds two light bulbs and I put 60W in each. It is well worth it because of how pretty it is. Hope this helps

I think so. My father-in-law uses it on his end table. It has 2 lights under the shade & then it also has a nite lite in the base of it.

I have 2 of these lamps amd they are just gorgeous when lit. the bottom light is like a night light and I leave it on all the time. The top of the lamp has 2 light bulbs and it puts out strong light. You will love them.

We have it in the corner of our living room and it puts out enough light there. Love the design.

Depends upon whattage of light used. As with all lamps light is directed down and out. Not much through shade as it is dark, but very nice to look at. More decorative than providing a lot of light.

I have two of these lamps and like all lamps the higher the watt light bulbs in the brighter the light. I love my lamps and get many complements. Especially if you like color in the room. : )

Does your lamp have the adjustable brightness feature? I just use the bulb that came with the lamp, but with the adjustment, it gets pretty bright...I'd call the manufacturer before using any bulb other than what they recommend...

I feel it lets through a lot of the light. I only have two bulbs in my fan fixture. It's not super bright but it wasn't with my previous shade.

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.

I have 2 in my bedroom their big beautiful lamps,, you could use these without the shade, or buy a white shade to cover them.. good luck.....

Hello. I would recommend using two lower wattage bulbs for an optimum look if brightness is an issue. Please let me know if there is anything more I can do to help. -Beth

Looks like copper but darker, pretty sure it is some metal blend. I left mine out for about 12 weeks but it was late summer/fall. They are fine. These lamps are pretty nice, sturdy, nice flame etc. There is a chain that holds the cover/cap that is flimsy and several broke off, the only flaw I see, but can be reattached with a piece of metal wire. I will probably be buying more lamps next spring.

Only if you sit beneath the lamp and look up!! Funny question! The lamp sits in the corner and over my couch. It is a great lamp because of its dim knob I can make it as bright or as dim as I want! I get lots of compliments on this lamp. It is very nice and I would recommend to my family or friends. I hope I was able to help you!

You would be better off with a couple of electric lamps with strong bulbs if you need a lot of light. These lamps are beautiful, however they don't give off a lot of light.

not sure on mine either. but my replacement lamp was good for about 6 months then started getting warning notes saying the lamp was near the end, and needed to be replaced soon. Not sure if I got a bad one from the seller... At least the lamp hasn't died yet so I guess I'm fine with it.

Hello there!As a fellow poster M. Baird said, using your finger you firmly tap the silver base. NOT too hard, but firmly tap it. These lamps have 3 light settings which get brighter each time you tap the silver metal base of the lamp. I ordered this 2-lamp set, but one of the lamps was defective, so I had to send them back. But they were what I wanted. I will probably order them again at some point. These lamps give off great light. Better than I expected.Good Luck. I think you'll really love these small lamps which give off GREAT light!

You should definitely see a VERY apparent and bright light. If you take it into a dark room and don't see any light coming from the bulb, that means it's not working properly. In fact you shouldn't really even need a dark room, it's bright and you shouldn't look at it directly.

I love these lamps....really pretty, nicely made and they are tall...shade is to me like a light-cream in color...they take a 3-way bulb...I have 50 to 150 in mine. :)

Well I had one of these lamps arrive with no shade and emailed the company thru Amazon and they sent out another shade. You might try communicating thru Amazon with the seller. That my suggestion

I would say yes this lamp is worth the price. Its been only a couple of months sine I bought it but so far I had no problems. My friend commented on the quality of light of this lamp without me even telling her that that's why I bought it. Everything else about it is metal/steel its very portable and not heavy. I just wish it would have been a little taller but that is not a big problem.

I have only used the brightest setting. Of course, you should not look directly at it. (Really you can't, or not for more than a second.) If you are using this lamp for SAD, I can't imagine why you wouldn't want it as bright as possible, unless you suddenly have more energy than you know what to do with! :)

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 =)
