I want to use this for a party, will it illuminate an entire room?

It just depends on what you have in the room. Frustrating, I know. But you can't really "see" black light, only the things it illuminates. I would say, just go for it, or buy a nearly identical one at Walmart for $10. If it's too dark, tack a white sheet on one of the walls, and then you'll have plenty of light. You could also buy a regular black light bulb super cheap right now at almost any local store. (all on clearance post-halloween) .... Though it now occurs to me this was probably a Halloween party you were throwing... So I'll just stop talking now.

No, it won't illuminate the room itself, but it would probably make anything that is backlight reactive glow a bit--and the closer those things are to the light fixture, the brighter and more intense they will be. It will provide some room light, but not enough to keep guests from tripping over one another.

yes, it is at a different light spectrum from regular incandescent bulbs, fluorescent bulbs give a true black-light experience. The light should cover 400 sq ft about a size of 20x20 ft room. If you want the very bright glow of neon colors and white objects I suggest at least two of them or one 48'' inch flourescent fixture. If you are looking to use this light to illuminate a room that has dark colors such as browns , blacks and blues and walls are a dark color too, the light will not illuminate these objects. If you are using it for a party, be sure to have other lights available to turn on, when navigating thru the room yes, it is at a different light spectrum from regular incandescent bulbs, fluorescent bulbs give a true black-light experience.

It depends on how large of a room. It should illuminate an entire bedroom, but not a living room. But you're definitely going to need at least 2 if you want the blacklight to illuminate the front and back sides of the partygoers.

This chandelier will light up an entire room. I seriously doubt you'll have any problems lighting up a 9 ft table. As a matter of fact, I think it'll be too much light for that table. My dinning area is more than well lit with this chandelier.

It gives off a very bright light that is white in color. This will look fine as long as the rest of the lights in the room are not incandescent bulbs.

No! It only works well in a very darkened room with very little background light. It just does not put out enough lumens for lighted room use.

In a fully dark room, once your eyes adjust then this would work. The lighting it very dim. Sorry I cant give you an empirical measurement in lumens.

It depends on your needs. They'll illuminate, but odds are they all won't produce a very strong spotlight effect although some will. They're also about the size of a woman's fist and they are a very cool light.

that's how I use mine. it lights up the side of the house has multi color patterns but it has a very intense light if you look directly at it. if it shines in Windows it could be a little bit glaring.

I'm using it in my living room area and I would say it would make a bedroom very bright. One thing you can do is use the more expensive lightbulbs that they talk about but I'm using the older version so it is not so bright for me. Hope this helps.

It is limited to a 60 watt bulb. Not going to be super bright in a big room.

Absolutely. But it will only illuminate with whichever wattage the lamp is set to. The lamp is always switched on and the controller varies the power between the wall and the lamp.

Kind of depends on the room and what you're going for. Probably not. It's a fairy subdued look and the light isn't overpowering. Wouldn't recommend that for a bedroom or anything along those lines though.

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

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.

Depends on how much other light there is in the room...it's not the brightest fixture ever. It'd be good for effect lighting but not for primary lighting.

I think that would definitely light the whole table. I'm using mine 36" above the table with a 43 watt bulb and it covers almost 80".

Yes it should be fine. I use it to illuminate my audio/visual equipment in a home theater room. It's bright enough but not obnoxious. Good luck

The spinning plastic cone at the end of the bulb will produce light around a room as long as the light isn't blocked. So if you have a light bulb in the socket now, and the light fills the room, then these lights will fill the same area with disco lighting.
