How about for an under cabinet light? Bright enough? Do you think it would be switching as you walked around the room if if pointed straight down?

It's definitely bright enough for using as an under cabinet light. You can adjust the angle/direction to get the response you want. I do find it comes on with minimal movement, but that is what I want. If I didn't I'd find a way to turn it or partially cover the sensor to make it less sensitive.

Im sure it is bright enough. It depends on how high it is, if it is a lower cabinet and the sensor is faceing to the back I dont think it will come on. But if it can see your feet move as you walk by it will. It does not see through cabinet doors so it would not come on unless you opened the door.

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

Yes. I use this as a switch for my under the counter lights and some extra track lighting I have above my kitchen cabinets. It works great.

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.

No. The light is good for use inside cabinets and walls or anywhere that's hard to see.

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

I think it would be great for that purpose! It sits alone and has an adjustable head to orient the direction (up and down) as desired. It's sufficiently bright for me. He might want to set it up on a box or cinder block or something so that it floods down over his newspaper page for efficiency. It's very portable and handy. Hope this helps.

I suppose it could be with limitations,. The light can be adjusted up and down. I believe they are made for wall mounting though, which how I mounted mine, under a soffit. Good product,

These lights are about 50% bigger than a halogen bulb. However, be advised that these LEDs are very directional (i.e. the light shines only out of the end of the bulb, not much shines 360 degrees around). If the under cabinet fixture you're planning to put them in has the bulbs oriented pointing straight down, then that would work OK. If they are oriented horizontal like most are, the light will not distribute well.

The light from this fixture is focused downward. I use two fixtures over some heavy equipment. It lights the equipment well, but not the rest of the room. Of course, you'd be trading two bulbs for one, so, at best, it would be half as bright as what you currently have.

I suppose you could just install them upside down. Doesn't seem like a good solution to what you're trying to accomplish though. They make fixtures designed to light stairways safely and properly.

Possibly but would recommend it. Glass is heavy and I would trust to stay. Lighting is great going up. We have two over our two sinks and it's very bright. Dimmer switch for night is a good idea.

I agree with previous answer. I will post a picture of the switch in the dark

The light is focused, yet soft. I use it at my laptop. As a small spotlight at close distance I think it would work if the room is sufficiently dark. I'm trying to imagine how you are going to set it up. As a foot light aimed from the floor or an intervening table. In either case you should not expect good results in a bright room or from a distance. I guess I didn't answer, did I?

The light is definitely bright enough to be effective across the bedroom. It'd probably be better than on the nightstand since you'd need to get out of bed to turn it off.

Yes, this is fairly bright. It works great in our hallway but sounds like it would be too bright for you situation.

I have it mounted under a cabinet in the kitchen. It works just fine. You can direct each light to where you want itto shine and the light is good. I often leave it as the lit light in the evening, in the kitchen. Good light.
