Would this fixture be too bright for a small NYC kitchen? 7' x 5.5' x 12' ceiling.

1100 lumens. Compare that to what you have now. It replaced my 75 watt bulb just fine. You could always get a dimmer switch to if it's too bright.

Probably, it's intensely bright which I love. Initially I had 3 in a 12 x 12 kitchen and was glad when one of them succumbed to a freak power surge that occurred during other electrical work. I only use the remaining two at the same time on really overcast days.

I have it in my computer room, 8 x7 and it is perfect. I'm very pleased with it.

Way too bright. In hindsight I would only use this in a much larger room. My entry way is close to the size of you kitchen and all in wood Finnish that is dark. It's too bright for that.

I use it in a kitchen and it works for that purpose. I would imagine it would be bright enough for you

It depends on how bright you want the light to be - see Manufacturer's website

My guess is this one will be too bright for you. It's almost too bright for us. There's no way it's the "very dim" you're looking for. We finally gave up looking for a dim one and settled for this. (At least it's cute.) Good luck!

Probably. Would check with manufacturer. Mine is plenty bright but we installed it above a sink.

I installed these in my kitchen for under cabinet lights and they are plenty bright. You should plan to run a strip the length of each shelf. They are available in different lengths. Leave a bit of room at each end to make the connection.

These fixtures have fittings on the back that allow direct wiring into the unit. Depending on the size, they give off a nice amount of light. These are designed as under cabinet lights that shine on a surface 16-18" below. In that application, they give off plenty of light. I think they would be good up to 20-22" but after that they may not work well unless you have a lot of ambient light in that area. The website has a chart for each of the sizes that gives you the average lumens on the backsplash and the countertop which may help you.

I like bright rooms too. That's why I bought this fixture that uses 3 bulbs. But I sorry, I don't know how how bright it actually is. I bought it to put into my tenant's living room, so I don't really know. I would think that if you use 3 high wattage bulbs, like 100 watts, it would be pretty bright. 300 watts would be very bright.

My counter tops extend out 25" from the wall. I have my lighting strips staggered at 10" and 11 1/2" out from the wall - 3 strips per cabinet. They do provide light to the front of the counter, but of course it's not as bright as within 12" out from the wall. It would be enough light to cut vegetables, etc., but I also have can lights over the counters and an overhead light in the center of the room. I don't use just the undercabinet lights alone if I'm preparing a full meal but they are helpful for smaller jobs or as additional lights to brighten the counter workspace.

Yes! There is never a problem going with lower wattage in a fixture, higher wattage would be a concern. I have this in the light over our kithchen table totally enclosed in a glass cover and no problem, just as bright if not brighter then the 75W incandesent it replaced.

No - I don't believe it would be bright enough. This requires the room to be very dark.

I guess it depends on how close they are to each other. By themselves I do not think they will be too bright. I have 2 in my kitchen about 3 feet apart over a counter and it's very bright. One thing to note is that you can (and I did) install a dimmer switch with LED lights so you can choose how bright you want the lights to be.

I think that depends. First of all I used these led fixtures in my garage. They have an bright white color however I don't really like them in a kitchen environment. It may be a personal preference. They are nice cool running tempature and mount in about 3/4 inch.

Probably bright enough depending on how bright you need it. Would recommend at least two.i.have two in a 3x2 cabinet and it is plenty bright

Mmm... I don't think it is intended for that application. It's not like is not bright enough, but maybe a bright room would be too much.

It's a very pretty fixture, however, it is not a large fixture, it may look a little small if the ceilings are really tall. You would also have to purchase a longer chain.

I have it in a bedroom (150 sq ft with 9' ceilings) and it's more than enough light. Might not be suitable for a large room with very high ceilings though.
