Is the lamp bright enough to slightly illuminate a small table, or is it only for focusing on a specific area?

It really isn't bright enough for a table, but is a good light to read or focusing on specific area.

It has a narrow focus. It might light a small table if it mounted high enough. We use it just to light a small spot for close up work.

It is mostly a focused light. For most desk purposes like general lighting it would not be adequate.

I use it beside my sewing machine and it allows me to sew at night, so it's bright enoughh for that. It's a different kind of bulb and the light is concentrated where you need it.

Yes, it's bright enough to read by, if it isn't located too far from the page. I have mine about 30" above my computer keyboard and it is quite bright. It gets on the hot-ish end of warm, but not so hot you can't touch it. And it uses batteries somewhat quickly, so I recommend either Enoloop rechargeables or the accessory power supply, depending on your placement needs. I think of this as wide-angle task lighting, not room lighting, so if you have dark corners, it helps a lot; for illuminating a dark room, not so much. HTH.

The bulb is bright, though the light is mostly directional from the bulbs tip. Depending on your light fixture (lamp, ceiling fixture, ect.) this bulb may or may not be what you want. If your fixture orients the lamp on its side it may not be as bright for you, or in most table lamps the light gets shined up, if your lamp points the bulb down at what you are working on it will be more than bright enough.

Yes. I occasionally work at the table and I find that there is enough light. Of course it would depend on how low the light is over the table. Overall I have been very happy with this light.

No it would not be too bright. If someone were to be 12 to 16 inches and staring into the lamp, perhaps.

It is bright enough. It progressively lights depending on how low or high you want it. It's like the IKEA one. I love it!

It produces a good amount of light, but the light is filtered through the crystals, so it's not very intense. I have it as the main light source in a 10x12' room and it works great. Might need to turn on a lamp if I was reading though. Not sure it'd work great in a large room. I do love this light though.

The lamp has three light levels. The lowest level would be good for bed side. The lamp itself, depending on table size, might be okay size wise. The vertical arm and horizontal top are adjustable enough to make it work. If I were looking for a lamp, and knowing what I do now about this lamp, I would go for it if it fit my decor.

no, not really, the lamp is bright enough to light the keyboard on your lap top so you can type in the dark, but the "square area" of illumination is limited, if you are reading a paperback, maybe. and no the light has only the one setting, on and off.

It is more than bright enough for my moderately dark room. In fact, I have set it to Eco mode to preserve lamp life (and reduce fan noise, which isn't that bad) and even at that reduced setting it is more than bright enough.

Sorry to say, the answer is no. It is intended for task/spot lighting; for minute handwork. For my purposes, I am a little disappointed with this lamp.

With the light on its stand on the table in front of you with the lamp pointing to the left or right you should be fine. With the lamp pointing towards you it may be too bright for your eyes.Distance from the lamp depends on what you consider comfortable lighting.Typical LED lamps do not get hot, they do not even get warm.

I do not believe it is bright enough for that purpose. It works well to light a small room but it is definitely a lantern.

It's pretty bright, but it's not going to illuminate a whole room like a lamp. With it on I am able to see around my sons room well enough to avoid tripping over something.

Yes, you can aim it right at your book and it won't bother other people, either. It is a very white light, though. I will try to correct that when I have to change the bulb someday. I am happy with this lamp. It looks more expensive than it is.

It won't light up a huge amount of space, but it will definitely provide very bright light in a moderate size spot wherever it's pointed. Less lantern, more flashlight. For the purpose of seeing a trail, it will work great, but you won't be able to illuminate things well too far off the trail.
