Will they put off enough light to use as a table lamp outside patio?

I purchased one as a test. In my opinion NO they do not put out enough light for a table. Therefore I gave up on the idea and will wait until there have been improvements.

Ambiance lighting but not practical lighting. You. Won't be able to read by this light

They are pretty bright but not quite as bright as a lamp. Perhaps two together would be bright enough.

yes, but dimly...it will not brighten up the area totally but will definitely add a good amount of light...

Not enough light for anything but ambiance. More like the light from a bright candle. I noticed that the ones I put outside didn't last. I think it may do something to the battery. I keep mine in a sunny window and they light up every night after the house lights are out.

As an accent light. Not enough to light a table to eat in the dark. More like a candle in a paper bag. A muted light. I love multiple in diffent size jars.

It provides just enough "glow" for my patio table. I have it on a quart-sized jar, and it's very pretty to see it on the table at night. Also, we have recently had two major rains; and it has not leaked at all.

No need it uses light. Just put it near light. Thats all. even in daylight near a window is ok, then you dont need a lamp.

It depends on how much light you require. It doesn't cast any light below itself. or a minimal amount. If the umbrella covers a table, the best result would be to place it on the table top

Yes they will work on a patio - however, the individual lights are not spaced close together. This is purposelydesigned this way, because when they are laid out in the C pattern on the ground they form the twinkling blanket effect. On a patio, you may find that you'll have to use more strings, and possibly wind them around more often. You would be able to string them ACROSS the patio, above the floor space, thus creating the same effect but overhead.I imagine that overhead they would look very nice.

If you are sitting near it, yes. We have it as the main light in our living room and I need to turn on a table lamp to have it bright enough when about 10-12 feet from the lamp. Our living room is about 16ft x 12ft.

I use it indoors as a fixture for fluorescent lights for my reptiles. I agree with Carolyn L that it would be ok outside away from water.

yes. We installed it outside over a table and can use it to play games at night.

I think that would definitely light the whole table. I'm using mine 36" above the table with a 43 watt bulb and it covers almost 80".

We have it in our LR and it puts out enough lighting there when needed. I think it should work over a table.

no no.... just leave them there! they are for another strip of lighting to connect to! they will be fine!! We just left them!! they're waterproof !! ;)

No. This is supplemental lighting for decorative purposes only. You should use a proper light.

It depends on where you were going to use it. If its the only light source in a large room then maybe not enough. Ours is abouve our bed and its enough. Without the shade im sure it would look fine with the right bulb.

You can use the table outside (I have for parties), but I would not recommend that the table stays outside without being covered (it could short out the LED lights)....great little pub table...I love mine and my guest get a kick out of the fact that it lights up and changes colors...hope this is useful.

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.

The top and bottom are open so the bulbs would be exposed. I don't think they should be used outdoors but technically they can

I would say probably not as would likely would be comparing to regular incandescent or flourescent lighting which would be much brighter. You would have to go through the roof or out a window to get your solar power as well. I actually can read with mine on my patio, but I would hate to do that on a regular basis in my home. I think you would be disappointed with that application.

If you need a light strip for outdoor, there is the same light strip with a silicone sleeve over it. If you use the light for indoor use the strip without the sleeve would be fine.
