How would you describe the intensity of the light from these fixtures? I'm looking for something that gives plenty of bright light.

I have 60 watt bulbs and it's plenty bright enough over breakfast bar counter top.

The picture looks deceptive. They are not dim. Just use a higher wattage bulb and you will achieve the brightness your looking for.

If I put higher watt bulbs in I get more light... its not like the florescent I had, really bright light. I like the "look" of the lights, I am still working on the watt bulbs to be using. Right now I have two outer higher watt, and the center less. Will probably be changing around until I get the adjustment I like. Its not a direct bright light.

They are a slight downgrade in terms of brightness. If you need a lot of light try the led tube fixtures by mings mark here on amazon.

I have three paintings 18" X 22" and one 22" x 30" all four of them luminate very well. Im still very happy with these lights!! I hope that helps you,,,I agree with the other comment as well. It's your own interpretation of illumination. I have a couple hard wired painting lights in another room they of course are like a spot light and I use a dimmer to keep the lighting right for my own taste. I have three of the Rite Lite LPL602B in my living room I use with the 18" X 22" paintings and the ambience is perfect. occasionally Ill will even dim them a bit .

I used these lights as a retrofit for my fluorescent fixtures and I am more than pleased with them. They give off much brighter and better light than the fluorescent tubes they replaced. One of these fixtures was above the vanity and my wife has never complained about not having enough light. Our coach also has a vanity light right below this fixture (at the top of the mirror) and she never uses it because she doesn't like the light it gives off. Hope that helps.

They are pretty bright. It can lighten up a dark room. You can see it clearly out in the sun.

I have put these bulbs along side 40 watt incandescent, and I'd say the light output was comparable...perhaps just a tad less. 50 watt seems to be common in vanity fixtures, so you would certainly say that the output was not enough if replacing all. As I said earlier, the color is more of an issue (to me) than the output. Noticeably 'cooler' than incandescent, and not warm enough (IMO) to be called 'warm white.'

Mine were all bright. I set them up kind of like the product picture. However no there is no way to make them brighter. Try straightening the stalks and adjust from the center

I ended up returning this fixture because it was a little bigger and bulkier than what I wanted. Check out lumens.com. They have tons of selections and their customer support is probably the nicest and most helpful of any website I have ever dealt with.

I'm not a light expert but I would describe it as bright white. I used them in the fixtures on my boat and I wanted as much light as possible.

50 watts x 16= 800. You shouldn't be using the included lights though, unless you want to climb up and change them annually and rack up electricity charges on your bill. Do what I did and get LED. The wattage I got for them was like 5 watts, but they are equivalent to 50 watts. Uses a total of 80 watts on brightest mode. Less on dim... The chandelier is amazing and people think I have spent 4 to 7k on the display. Do it right though. LED 5 Watt lights, and replace these immediately.

These are full spectrum lites which means it give off light closest to the daytime sun. I use the equal to 100 watters for over diningroom and in sun room in winter time. I have no complaints.

The Cree bulbs at Home Depot are *outstanding* and they throw around 450 lumens. They have 60w A19 equivalents too that throw a lot more than that.

I agree with the previous answer, the light is minimal. If you had them on either side of you path and spaced pretty close, probably every foot or two you might have enough light. Cool idea, but no sure if these are the right choice.

Hello. I would recommend using two lower wattage bulbs for an optimum look if brightness is an issue. Please let me know if there is anything more I can do to help. -Beth

It is fairly bright I'd estimate 40W or 60W equivalent. The light is not as warm as I was hoping for though. It is more daylight than warm.

It gives off plenty of light. I am using a 75 watt bulb in both and they light up my whole living room. I think it will be perfect for your area.
