How much does the light fan out? I want to put it on the floor and illuminate lettering on the wall. Not sure if this is the right light.

It depends on the height of the bulb, I am using a compact fluorescent that reaches almost to the top. The light spreads out over about 45 degrees.

Michael, I'll just add that the design of the bulb will affect the distribution of light as well. I use a halogen mini-spot in mine that focuses the light into a relatively tight beam. Are you limited to using just one fixture? Perhaps two (or more) would solve your problem. Good luck.

You might have to cut it or wrap around sides. Depending on room it might put out too much light. You could always put a dimmer switch on it.

It's a 4-watt night-light bulb, up pretty high off the floor, so I'd say it's pretty dim - it provides "night-light bulb light", but it's not very bright - similar to what you might expect from a 4-watt night light that's 8-9 feet off the floor. I know that's vague, but it suits my purposes in a bathroom that's 6' x 10' - bright enough to see to walk around in the dark of the night, but that's about it!

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.

It's fairly dim lighting. The only thing I would say is that the light climbs all the way to the ceiling and that might be brighter in a small room. Hope that helps.

It projects out light at 160 degrees. You will see light in the entire room but not good light. This is more for lighting a specific thing

I have it above my dining room table. I have a couple of high wattage equivalent eco bulbs in it. It puts out plenty of light. It really sets off the dining room when lit!

I love my light it is over my sink.it gives plenty oflight over my sink. As a light for a full kitchen its not enough. I ordered the companion ceiling light to go with it.

As long as it is not closing off the vents on the light and it is open above the light you should be fine. The noise can be an issue. One of my three lights had developed a very loud fan noise while the other two have remained very quiet. I think the fan has become unbalanced but I have no idea how to fix it. After about 10 minuets mine gets quieter but not as quiet as the other lights.

It isn't as bright as i would like it to be. It also requires a certain kind of bulb that doesn't give off a lot of light. It also depends on how big the room is. Hope this helps!

Without knowing how much room and depth you have to place the light, yes, the light will light it up; no sweat. You'll have to play the "light placement" game. Hope it works out.

It produces a good amount of light, but the light is filtered through the crystals, so it's not very intense. I have it as the main light source in a 10x12' room and it works great. Might need to turn on a lamp if I was reading though. Not sure it'd work great in a large room. I do love this light though.

I think it best to hang it on the wall. Since the light points down when hung on a wall, if you hang it on the ceiling, it would point outward. The fixture is fixed on the rails and not positionable.

The lights spins around. You have to aim the lights where you want them. The farther away from the surface it is, the wider the pattern. Mine were hung 10ft above the floor, and I angled it so it hit the wall and the floor. I had 2 in the space. It was about 14 x 20? But I wanted a tight pattern. Hope this helps

Jake, The sign is awesome. It still looks good in a well lit room. Naturally the brighter the light the more muted the colors will be but under normal lighting it looks great. It also pays to have it against a darker wall but not a requirement to enjoy it. Go for it.

I don't see how a light fits on this fan. If you want one with a light, I think you need a different fan.

It gives enough light for our hallway. I'm not sure how much light you need for your dining area.
