Does it have good lighting; I find as I get older, I need really good light &amp; no windows in my sewing space?

I find the light to be satisfactory...but I do have an extra light I use when I sew evenings that enhances the light.

I think it is a flourescent light. But whatever it is, it really lightsup the area on my sewing center.

yes, This is a very good product. You will get powerful LIGHT with LOW Electric use and less heat! because of the low power bulbs. It lights the room like a studio.

Yes, a nice bright one. Unfortunately, I have mine set up in a stand. With the blade vertical, it casts a shadow over my cut line and I find this very annoying. I wish there was some way to turn the light off other than releasing the trigger. I get around this problem by setting up a halogen desk lamp next to the saw and adjusting it to counter the shadow. I' sure this would not be an issue using the saw freestyle as it was designed, I just prefer having it full time in a stand because it is so darn convenient .... I use mine every day, wish I could say the same about some of my other tools. Yes, a nice bright one. Unfortunately, I have mine set up in a stand.

Yes, it is bright. . . like sunlight. I use it to see my knitting and sewing projects more clearly.

Yes, Id does put out a fair amount of light. The upper part holds two light bulbs and I put 60W in each. It is well worth it because of how pretty it is. Hope this helps

I have a 46" of this model in a brightly lit room. NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. I was worried too. But, one thing for me is that my window is on the side of my tv not directly behind. I,too, viewed it at several different Best Buys and it worried me how much reflection I saw. However, it's been strange to me. It doesn't seem as reflective since I got it in a home environment. One morning, with the blinds open even...I walked by and looked at the tv and had to stop because for a moment it almost looked matte.

I ordered it and returned it...I would have used it for cross stitching and I didn't give enough of a circle light. I now use a Daylight lamp which seems to have a larger surface of light. This might be OK for a desk if you are working right under it.

Yes it has a light, I do really like it. It is very light and good for home. But you need stronger if you are looking for business.

yes, it does light up the room but is better if it is a small room. Very nice I do like it!

This is a very subjective question with a lot of variables. I am an artist myself with a large studio. The 10' ceilingIs not the problem, the light distribution is. Four lights is definitely insufficient. My studio is 17' x 30' and I have18 of these LED lights. But again, enough light, is a very personal issue. Make a temporary hookup and test.

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.

I think thaty that I have seen that it was Dim-able. I use mine where I need a lot of light. Like the area to eat and cool. They have enough light that even when fly tying you do not have to have a close light.

It gives off quite a bit of light but also throws shadows because of the design. Its perfect in out entryway but I dont know if I would want it as my only source of light in a walkin closet.

In my opinion, yes. The fabric is a nice, "winter white" color, and I think it lights up a room nicely. I've had mine for 10 months now and am very happy with it. Also, some lampshades have a darker, almost plastic-like material coating the inside of the drum, and this one does not. I used the term "winter white" for the color rather than "cream," since some cream fabrics can look yellowish. The outer stitching on the shade is beautiful. Hope this helps.Oh, I noticed some people are using this for a table lampshade. I should state that ours is on a pendant light above our breakfast table, and it provides nice light there, too.

This is not a very bright light. I had 2 of these next too a classic art work. The light they produced was mediocre at best. Worst, it was more greenish.didn't like that at all.but for a massage room. They might be right. It ultimately boils down to your personal preference. Good luck.
