Is it bright enough as the only source of light in dining area?

Yes, it is and we have ours on a dimmer for nice candle-light level dinners. Plenty bright when you need the light, nice and low when you want the mood. I believe there are 5-20 watt halogens. Note the base is not normal ceiling box wide, and it would look GREAT recessed mounted with only the widest face plate showing. Comes from China.

I don't think that would give you the light that you are looking for. It's very bright but you need to be sitting within 12 inches of the light to get any affect. You would probably want to get a bigger light that was meant for lighting a larger area. This is a great light for light therapy, but not for lighting a whole room. I also think the light bulbs wouldn't last very long in that situation.

Not a bright light. It comes with a small bulb. I like it though I have over my dining table it makes me feel like we are having diner by candlelight. Would not work in a living room area.

Yes. The light is very bright for its size. If you don't think its bright enough add a second light.

I don't think it would put out enough light for your needs. It has an adjustable light selector, however, it is my opinion not what I would consider a study light. It really does provide wonderful atmosphere for your room though.

not yes/no answer, maybe this will help. We have ~ 12' * 15' room and we turn all 3 lights on (~60W equivalent CFLs each) for best light. It is fairly good. With only 2 turned on, it is ok for socializing but not for good reading.

Yes, quite bright. The light it puts out is pretty directional though, so it doesn't necessarily dazzle the entire room. I have mine mounted on a side table next to the bed, and I can aim it toward the foot of the bed to give plenty of light for reading without keeping my wife awake on the other side of the bed. Of course, if you mount it on the headboard and have it pointing down over the pillows, it's going to be pretty well lit everywhere. It is not a pencil beam by any means.

Depends on the size of your shop and how bright you need it to be. I would say generally, yes but it may be a little dim.

I think it would be to bright. I installed in a small galley style kitchen. It's almost as bright as daylight on a sunny day. Great light but not soft.

I wouldn't call it bright like what I would want in a kitchen. We have it in a bedroom and need lamps to get full illumination. You might want to look for a fan that has both a downlight and an uplight. They cost more, but may give you what you need.

It's definitely bright enough for using as an under cabinet light. You can adjust the angle/direction to get the response you want.I do find it comes on with minimal movement, but that is what I want. If I didn't I'd find a way to turn it or partially cover the sensor to make it less sensitive.

It's very bright, bright enough to see to walk around the room. You probably wouldn't want it any brighter than it is. It is also very soothing since it has continuous movement.

Yes, I think the light kit would give enough light for use over a dining room table. Very pleased with fan and lgiht.

Definitely. We have it in a not so sunny indoor location and it is doing OK, but really could use more light.

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

It is not very bright. It is more of a nightlight than a lamp. It is very pretty but won't brighten a dark room.

Yes bright enough for dining room table. You will get instructions when you purchase, re: wattage etc
