It reached the ceiling of a middle school gymnasium and was totally visible, although it is definitely more impressive in a smaller venue. I love this light, and don't think you'll be disappointed.

I have 3 of them installed about 5 feet above my computer desk. It is adequate lighting for working at the desk, but not for the rest of the room.

No problem. If I point the lamp straignt down, I can get it to throw a 14" diameter circle of bright light. If I angle it to the side a bit the spot becomes an oval easily over 2 feet wide and 3 feet long. This lamp is a spot light that makes a great task light, but it doesn't contribute much to lighting a room. Without another lamp near by, there is a spot of bright light and not much else.

I am not sure, as I am not familiar with indoor ranges. It is plenty bright at 40' in normal house lighting. Shows up very faint in bright sunlight on a concrete surface at about 15-20'.

It's a difficult question, Lacey. As with ALL light it's a matter of physics, really - and it all comes down to distances. The 580EX is quite a powerful flash, but it is still a flash. Dependant on the church, the distance to the ceiling, the reflectiveness of the surface it will bounce off some amount of light, but if it's enough for your requirements is another matter all together. With that it mind, it is possible to get various modifiers and by using different shooting techniques there is very little this flash can't help you achieve. And if you, as I, doesn't have the budget and the temperament for setting up a larger lighting kit, it's a powerful tool to add to your arsenal.Happy shootings,Thomas Roger It's a difficult question, Lacey.

Plenty! Brightest light source in my house. I use it to light a large open area inside my homes entryway.

It depends heavily on how bright you want the effect to be and how far away you are able to place the fixture. In addition, there are two different lenses that allow you to have a wider or narrower field of effect based on your needs. In essence, there is no good way to answer. I can tell you from experience that I have had a usable effect covering an entire wall at the end of a large ballroom using the narrower lense in extremely low light, but to do so I had to place the unit itself at the opposite end of the room. Sorry if this is less than helpful...

It will illuminate the numbers if it is 6' away but not real bright. If yo could manage to attach the light closer to the numbers this product will be great. The photo cells and light have a speration of 6' is the photo cell device could be put in the ground by the post. So for the very best results find a way to attach the light closer.

Our bedroom is 30 by 17 feet. That's 510 square feet. We have two of them in that room. They are plenty bright enough for this much space. I'm pretty sure that if I only had one in the middle of our bedroom it would still produce enough light for the entire room. Not as much as two of them of course, but enough. Yours at 169 square feet should be just fine with one.

Luminous Intensity: 90-100Lm/W that's 1620 - 1800 . I have 3 in my hall way and they do an excellent job of lighting it, I've been very happy with them.

we used them as part of a backdrop for an indoor wedding reception. the lights weren't too bright for our needs.

I use it for a corner of my desk that the overhead light does not light up. This light is actually pretty bright. I am totally satisfied with it. I have the light about 10 inches above the base. Lights up a pretty decent amount of desk space.

Dear Emmitt，Thanks for your inquiry.The lights usually can shine a diatance of 800 to 1000 meters.Hope this can help.

I don't know its limit, as far as distance. However I shine it into the back of my yard, which is about 150 feet away, and it lights everything up quite well. As far as the spread of the beam, I would say it's in between a wide beam and a spot. I have owned the light for about 6 months, and I have no complaints, especially for the comparatively low cost.

I think it would work. It's not as bright as the overhead light I have, but it lights the room pretty well.

Katherine, if you are looking for whole room light I would go bigger. We use this in our tent and it is awesome for that but a larger room might want more light. We have a 6 person tent..hope that helps you:)
