Will it light a room that's about 10x18 feet? Can the bulb be adjusted to reflect up to the ceiling for more light?

I use it for sewing. Does a good job lighting up my dining room table but I don't think it would be enough for a 10x18 room

It probably could be done, but this light isn't intended to reflect up. It works beautifully reflecting down but it won't light a room 10 x 18 ft. It is more of a task light meant to give you a great light on a reading or work area. And it does that amazingly well.

i don't believe it can, unless you can get it higher than its own post. It is very directional lighting and only lights up what it is facing.

I think so. We are using it in a room about 10' x 20' with high ceiling and it doesn't quite reach all of it, but it reaches withing a 10'x10' range.

Yes...we put it on a 12 ft ceiling in a 2nd bedroom. Gives off plenty of light & would work well in a kitchen

this light is more of an ambient light. Even though the bulb is fairly bright the distance of projected light is about 12". I would say that two of these lights would not be enough lighting for an image that large. I have one over a 24" x 19" pastel at dusk and the top third shows up in a darkened room. This light is best used on small imagery. The screw mount bracket is 5 5/32" x 1 1/2" and has a built in level.

Not at all. We used it in a small 1/2 bath that measured approximately 3' x 8'. The dome tops on the fixture keep the ceiling fairly dark, but otherwise it a perfect amount of light for our room.

Depends on how much light you want for the area....I have it in my garage, and it generates enough light to ensure that I don't trip over any tools but it is much dimmer than a standard 60W bulb

A lot depends on how high the bulb is. Obviously, if it is only 3 feet from a work surface, it will about 36 square feet. If it is higher, it will cover more, maybe double or triple that. The other variable is the lumens or wattage of the bulb. If you are reading , you might want it closer or higher wattage. If it is just general background lighting, you can get by with less wattage or lumens.

I don't think it would give enough light for your purposes . Think of it as a good closet light or as a work lamp.

I use this to illuminate a double garage, and so there will be an adundance of light. There is also a fair amount of heat close to the lamp and so you would have to isolate it from nearby clothing, and in a confined space such as a closet it might warm the room too much. I would look for something in the 100 - 150 watt range. Hope this helps.

I used a 4' diameter parabolic reflector which lit up approx 8' x 8' area when hung 8' above the floor. The reflector that comes with the package would only light up a 6' x 4' area @ most.

No. My kitchen has 6 recessed lights and the ceiling is maybe 8 feet high and these are bright enough for me. I think the old light bulbs may have been 60 watt because I feel like the kitchen is a little bit dimmer than before. I changed them without actually checking what was there before. Anyways, because it's slightly dimmer I don't think at 18 feet the 40 watt equivalents will work for you

I wouldn't say it can light up a room (especially a large one), but it does cast more light than a strictly decorative lamp. I have it in the corner of my living room/dining room (about 200 sq feet) and it lights that area well enough to read by. If I had two in the room I'd feel it was a pretty well-lit space. (But then I don't particularly care for bright lights.) Hope that helps!

The bulb it ships with is super dim, and I believe it's 75 watts. I've put a 100w in, but it's still not enough light to brighten a room. The light can be used for ambience only unless you're installing it in a very small room. My room is 12 by 20' for your reference.

Yes it is. You can also install it much farther, in order to get dim illumination. This fixture is a flood light, with a very wide angle of illumination, so maybe at 10 feet you may get more than 10 feet wide of light.

we have been using it as a night light and i would say it is almost too bright at full intensity. it illuminates the ceiling brightly even with the room lights on. not sure how you need to use it, several feet easily. 10w is quite allot for LED sure you'll be happy.

Mmm... I don't think it is intended for that application. It's not like is not bright enough, but maybe a bright room would be too much.

Yes it can, but there is no reflector so the light would not be focused and would illuminate the ceiling.
