Just how bright are these? I assume there is no way to control that? I don't want it to light up my office like a strange blue sun... I think.

They are quite bright! Unfortunately there isn't a brightness control. If your case has a large side window and you don't want it to be very bright then you might want to try another product and or a different color. The blue ones put out a whiter glow then the picture suggests. Also the cables are a bit short so if you don't know how to cut and extend the wires you might have to look it up. Hope this helped!

Unfortunately, there is no way to dim these lights, but I would say they are not overly bright. If you're going to use them in a room that has other lighting, these should be just fine. My PC has a clear side panel, where these cathodes are installed. When my room lights are off, these units give off a very nice blue glow, similar to, but not brighter than neon.

They are very bright. In fact, I added a dimmer to tone them down when not working under the cabinets

No, these are not brighter. Not sure if the bulb can be replaced for something brighter.

No they are not that bright. Would probably compare it to those led night light bulbs. Best guess would be around 20 to 30 lumins?

Lumins don't seem to mean much as far as brightness. I finally went by colortemp. Higher the temp the brighter. I just used a dimmer.

They are somewhat less bright than a 5W incandescent bulb.The first LED bulb that I found was less bright & I replaced it with one of these, because I wanted more light.It might have been a Fiet BPC7/LED.

They will be bright enough. Some people experience a humming sound with them, but I haven't had that problem. The biggest problem is that it's difficult, at times, to connect to the lights. This is particularly bothersome when you're trying to turn them off at night.

I've tried but don't notice much if any of a startup delay. I'd say they are at nearly 90% brightness instantly.

The lights are pretty bright that make my pc look cool they are not intrusive bright at least I don't think they are from my prospective .Hope this helps .

No yellow - LED bluish. By the way. these lights are battery hogs and are fine for lighting in a confined space wherein you turn them on and off as needed. I do not recommend the motion detection feature because, at least in my kitchen, when used for under-counter lighting, the batteries didn't last one day.

For office use you might want to get bulbs from 4500K (cool white) to 6500K (Daylight), soft white (2700K-3500K) is not suitable.

I'm sorry, I can't tell you. I havent gotten them hooked up yet so I can't even tell you if I am happy with how bright they are. I'm hoping with that many led's in them that I won't be disappointed. I mounted them on the visors of my truck so I'd have a strong light right over me. You might get online to Amico and see if they can give some technical data for you. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

The light is not blinding at eye level. I have these lights in a stairway, so they're at different heights. It's never been a problem. I do wish they were on a dimmer switch, though.

No, they can't. Just buy a different style with the same brightness. You'll like them.

Well, nothing scientific, but they are blindingly bright. I can not look at the leds withput it hurting my eyes. The actual brightness will vary depending on the voltage applied. I don't know of anyone who had done an actual measurement.

Yes, They are hardwired. They are bright, but don't know if they would be enough to light an office. Depends on the office space and if they are the only light source.

They are pretty bright. But they are more limited to shine where you put them. Not the best choice for whole room lighting. I have a central along with these light.
