Does this produce enough light for a 5' x 5' walk in pantry? I am looking to replace a single bulb light fixture with a pull chain. I like the remote

John,I used my light for under the counter task lighting. I don't think it will do the job for a larger area of 25 square feet.

It does produce a good amount of light not sure though for a pantry though. you can position the lights. I would buy multiple sets. I bought 3 for my walkin closet and put 1 on the ceiling and 1 against each wall. One word of caution, do not use the adhesive. It will fall off the wall and the item will break. That happened to me and I was able to get a replacement. Other than that I love these lights.

I did use one of those elongated lightbulbs, about 5 inches long and 1.5 inches wide, because I did not like how the CFL looked. It was too bright. It works fine.....I wish the damned slider pole could be tightened, however!

The light from this fixture is focused downward. I use two fixtures over some heavy equipment. It lights the equipment well, but not the rest of the room. Of course, you'd be trading two bulbs for one, so, at best, it would be half as bright as what you currently have.

Hi Duane, I bought this light for a family whose home had burned down and they were living in an old RV with little light. I never saw it work but was told it gave off a bright light and was easy to install. I am sorry that does not answer your question but that is all I know.

I've been using several in my kitchen for many years. I am 100 percent satisfied. Right now, I have one taped under a cabinet shelf (out of sight). It's about 5 feet from the ceiling fixture that contains 3 CFL bulbs. Other lights in the kitchen are LED, small florescent, as well as wall-dimmer based incandescent. The motion detector senses a person walking into the kitchen and sends a signal to an X10 relay to turn on all of the under cabinet lights. A turn-off signal then is sent after 30 minutes. It's great when you can walk into the kitchen in the dark and not have to fumble with a light switch. Be sure that the X10 relay is the "relay" or "switch" type and not the "dimmer" type.

I have 2 fixtures mounted vertically one on either side of a 5 ft mirror and use 2 CFLs per fixture. The light is excellent.

I have one in my front door pendant light that hangs about 10' up with bottom of fixture blocked so light comes out the sides only. I personally would like it to be brighter out there, but it works.

It's actually a bit small for that...that's the same reason I bought it, but it has not worked out very well for me. The light is very bright, but only if it is directly over your work.

Hi Harry, I have this light up in our walk in closet so as not to disturb my spouse when I have to get up early. The closet is about 10' deep and about 4-6' wide. It doesn't have any problems picking us up.

I was afraid that I was not going to get enough light from this light. Was I wrong. I put 4 in a kitchen and they are beautiful. Great lighting. Hope this helps.

I bought two fixtures to light up my front door. They are placed roughly 10 feet in front of the door and to each side. They are very bright and light up the door as well as the 50 watt par flood light. However, 10 feet is a lot less than the 25 feet that you are trying to illuminate. Obviously, you will get some light. Whether it will be sufficient for your desires is questionable.Paul R.

Hi Nancy,Well I think that 2 lights would be sufficient for your needs. I have 2 of them, one on each side of my Storage Shed door and they light that up very well. Just make sure they are where they get sunlight during the day and you will have light at night. Try to position them at that point so they will get all the sunlight you can muster.Good luck and Amazon is where I got mine and they have been great.JB

Is it a single-bulb fixture where the bulb won't have a globe or other glass over it? I have it illuminating my hallway and it's actually a bit brighter than I would have imagined, would probably work well over an island counter.

This light fixture does not have a pull chain, it is designed to be "hard wired" and operated by a wall switch. I would not recommend it for a living space, it's intended more for a basement, workshop or garage.

Hi Mia, if that's your only light it might not be enough. I have mine over dining room table but I have other light from outside and in. I do love this bulb though and happy I bought it.

The answer is no. It barely lights up the small broom closet I have it in. Ok for the broom closet but nothing larger
