How much light does this put out? I have a huge room, roughly 60x20 that I want to light and this will be the primary source. Will this do it?

I use mine in a 20X 30 environment w/candelabra based 60 w bulbs. According to Hunter this is the only kit that will fit this fan. (of interest to change bulb bases). I would bet a pretty that other Hunter bases could be engineered to work just fine.

I would say no. I bought led bulbs to put in it and it wasn't bright enough for my taste. I ended up purchasing a new light kit for it that uses 4 led regular bulbs. Love it!!! Search Hunter Fan 99143 Four Light Fitter, New Bronze here on amazon, this is what I bought and it will fit this fan. It puts out much more light and you can customize with your own light covers!

It's more of a bedroom light, say 15x15. I wouldn't think that you would be happy with it as the primary source.

Not in my opinion. Our room is smaller and we also use a table lamp. The fan is great.

The fan uses three candelabra type lightbulbs. If you use the brightest LED bulbs available instead of the incandescent ones provided it might give you the brightness you desire.

That varies somewhat depending on your needs. On the high mode, it outputs about as much light as two of the old-fashioned 60 watt incandescent bulbs. I find that to be enough for my approximately 16 foot by 16 foot living room, but if I'm at my desk, which is in the corner next to the light (and thus not as well lit by it), I generally use a task light as well.

Plenty, plenty of light. You will be very pleased. I build custom theaters for a living.

I have it in the bedroom... it lights the entire room (which is large) but I don't know how well it would light a kitchen. Different ambience in a kitchen.

I don't knos the lumens output but I certainly believe this would work well in that function. The light is bright and certainly is revealing. It will not light an entire room but I think it will complement the ceiling light well

Hi MaryKate: I don't recommend this product. It gives off very little light. I regret having bought it. It is purely decorative. Certainly not functional. I have it placed on the wall in lieu of a picture. Appx 9" across the top and 8" high.

It should give off a little bit more more light. I also replaced with clear and LED(?) lights and I think it helped. I wished I found one that came with 6-8 light bulbs for more lighting, but I needed one that is simple yet conservative/elegant, less frills... I'm still very happy with this purchase.

Use small candle light size LED bulbs, you get 60w of light from 15w power, makes it very bright.

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's not meant to illuminate a room by itself, if that helps to answer your question. Obviously, the higher the lumens/watts. the brighter it will be. Hope that helps?

It won't be as bright as normal lighting, and it's on the bluish side, but I've been able to light my studio apartment well enough to see everything. Plus, you can pop the top off, exposing the LEDs, and if you hang it by the bottom hook from the ceiling it will light things up pretty well.

I have it in bedroom that is about that size hardwired and it gives out lots of light. I think you'll be fine!

thank you for the question actually I returned it back as it didnt match my requirements using it in big room, regarding resolution and illumination (lumins units) wish to help you more :)

Yes. I only have a 60 watt bulb in there and the amount of light is considerable. It takes up to a100 or 120 so it will definitely put out alot of light at that wattage.

Yes, it will light up a whole room, we use it as the main lighting for my daughter's nursery.

I would say this is the type of light to give you "bright daylight". It is fantastic for reading and making a well lit room as you can choose the wattage you want. 2 lamps in a room that size should be sufficient .

It gives off adequate light in the bedroom (12x12)we have it in. Not sure it would be enough in a large formal dining or living room area. Hope it helps.
