Would you say these are suitable for a living room where you want to read and work on you laptop? I want to use 3 of them in a track light .

It would have to be a very small living room. I purchased several types of LED bulbs with this type of socket, to be used in a 4-light ceiling fixture. None of them provided a satisfactory level of lighting in an approximately 12x12 ft room. Perhaps a couple of track lights that size.

I have 3 of them installed about 5 feet above my computer desk. It is adequate lighting for working at the desk, but not for the rest of the room.

Yes, they are. I'm using them in an overhead light fixture in a bathroom and they throw a lot of light.

I have 2 track lights in my room and these work quite well. They are a little spotty and one won't light the entire room but with 3 you have plenty of flexibility.

It does work for that just keep in mind it is not yellowish as regular light bulbs it is white in color.

Im not shure how big is your living room but according my experiance 3 of them for reading isnt enough I have 6 and still I have to use more light, for laptop its ok.

I have 11 of them in our 12x14 kitchen, to give you an idea of what you need to light up an entire room. I have three in a track light above the fireplace, just to provide some feature wall lighting.So you know, out of the 18 total that I bought, 4 turned out to be defective after a few month of use (flickering) and had to be returned for a full replacement.

Yes it should be fine. I use it to illuminate my audio/visual equipment in a home theater room. It's bright enough but not obnoxious. Good luck

These are "passive" monitors, you want "active" if you want to plug them directly into a laptop

We have them in our living room, there are more on the "spot" side, but we have a 6 head track system and with 6 of these in it, and some bouncing off walls, it does enough of a job lighting up the room.

I used mine to watch TV at night and they worked fine. If you're trying to plug into a computer? I have NO clue how to make them work, maybe they are defective? I wish I could be more help. Good Luck! :)

I suspect they'd be awesome for PC... since they're powered... They're great speakers. Don't know for absolutely sure that a PC would have the power to get things started, but on the other hand, that's the whole point of powered speakers... Since they say "multi-media" I think a PC should work fine, though.

The light is focused, yet soft. I use it at my laptop. As a small spotlight at close distance I think it would work if the room is sufficiently dark. I'm trying to imagine how you are going to set it up. As a foot light aimed from the floor or an intervening table. In either case you should not expect good results in a bright room or from a distance. I guess I didn't answer, did I?

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.

Yes these are good if you don't need much output and depending on how you use them. Once these lights are diffused for softening they lose a lot of power. Also remember these light draw a Lot of watts and they are going to heat up the room if you have all three running at once. All in all they are great for the price!

Look at the lumen rating for this item. You would have to use a LOT of them. I think they are best use as mood or accent lighting. You would be better off with a more triditonall light source for shop lighting in my opinion Look at some of the newer LED fixtures.

Yes, it's bright enough to read by, if it isn't located too far from the page. I have mine about 30" above my computer keyboard and it is quite bright. It gets on the hot-ish end of warm, but not so hot you can't touch it. And it uses batteries somewhat quickly, so I recommend either Enoloop rechargeables or the accessory power supply, depending on your placement needs. I think of this as wide-angle task lighting, not room lighting, so if you have dark corners, it helps a lot; for illuminating a dark room, not so much. HTH.

If one person is studying, I think one lamp would be fine. However, if more than one person will be trying to use the table, then two lights would probably be a much better solution. My sense is that one light works very well over a 2 to 3 foot wide area in front of the lamp.

not bad at all, you need to know how to position them best to use the little light you have. like if you have a tv on, you dont want to point into the light .

I don't think they would work for that. I know I cannot use them to read with. But I do love the look of them.

These lights won't light a room. They are only sufficient for a very small light box which is what I purchased them for. Also the bulbs are veryfragile and one blew out when I received the set. the socket is special so you can't use almost any other bulb. The stands are okay so I now use them as bed reading lights. I hope this helps.

Yes, it would work, but I wouldn't use it as my reading light most of the time, just for special occasions, like camping or something.

They give off a lot of light but I think two would not be enough. All depends on how much light you are looking for. I think four of these would be much better
