I want to use this in a crafting area, as I get older I need brighter light, do you think this would work for me?

As one who is getting older also I find that 750 lumens, the only real measure is adequate for general work but not detail. I use them to reduce energy cost and A/C but still miss my 85 watt incandescants.

I am 62, also a woodworker and machinest in my own shop. This bulb is very bright and the right warm color. I think this bulb is 65 watts, they have 100 watt bulbs in the BR40 configuration. I like this manufacture as compared to what I can get at the box stores. I have switched my shop to almost all LED lights

We use these in our office, and they get pretty bright. In a crafting area, they should be great. They do get quite warm, though.

Yes. The light is very bright and white. Not impressed with it's dimming capabilities though.

Brightness is personal preference. You might be fine with it, and another person may not be. So unfortunately I'm unable to answer that.keep in mind that the directions explain that the light should not be directly in front of you. So you might want to place the light in the corner of your desk.

Definitely should. It's bright. Safe distance I'd say is within 5' away and giving you a solid 3' wide lighting area. It's a spot light less "fanning" more direct beam.

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!

I have not used it, yet, but I got the highest lux available in the size I wanted to use. It is very bright so I think it will work, even on darker fabrics. The light is adjustable. I will use repositionable tape to secure the pattern and fabric to the frame. I got the tape at Staples.

It would probably work but the picture would be very dim, I do not think it is overly bright with the lights on dim.

Yes, this lamp would be good for any room where you need a lot of bright light. However, if you continue to use the lamp for a long time very late at night it could make it hard to get to sleep.

No I do not think this light would work well for that. It is bright but only for a small circle area under its top. The light doesn't project well. I think you would be straining your eyes.

in my opinion, NO it will not give off enough light to light up an area for the party. you would be better off with a quartz light for your application.

Perhaps you could get an LED bulb. A 20 Watt LED bulb can give you the brightness of a 100 watt incandescent.

it's good above a picture where I have it but don't think it would give a bright enough light to do hair, makeup, etc. I like a bright light for things like that.

My opinion is that it would be fine for such. If you needed brighter I would consider the Ray2 light but it might be too much for low light plants.

It's actually a bit small for that...that's the same reason I bought it, but it has not worked out very well for me. The light is very bright, but only if it is directly over your work.

Yes, the light needs to be brighter. Maybe 2 bulbs instead of 1. It does not light our small kitchen.

I don't think that would give you the light that you are looking for. It's very bright but you need to be sitting within 12 inches of the light to get any affect. You would probably want to get a bigger light that was meant for lighting a larger area. This is a great light for light therapy, but not for lighting a whole room. I also think the light bulbs wouldn't last very long in that situation.

It won't be as bright as normal lighting, and it's on the bluish side, but I've been able to light my studio apartment well enough to see everything. Plus, you can pop the top off, exposing the LEDs, and if you hang it by the bottom hook from the ceiling it will light things up pretty well.

It's nice and bright so it probably would work well for putting on makeup. I use one to provide a good source of light for dressing/bandage changes and for any other detail work.
