Is this a good lamp for a nursery? Don't want it too bright to scare the baby, but bright enough to see to feed.

I can not give you an answer as the lamp was not in working condition when it came. I had ordered it for my son who has night blindness while I was overseas. It never worked and by the time I returned, it was well over the return policy time period. It is very flimsy plastic material. Wish I could have told you about the brightness.

It gives a nice glow. It allows you to see around the room, but it is not the type of light you can read by. I ended up buying 4 of them. One for each bathroom and one for the hallway. When I get up in the middle of the night, I don't have to turn any lights on. I love these little lamps. Also, the older the batteries, the lower the light emission. You can set the lamp for motion, or, in the case of an electrical storm, you can slide the switch to on. It's a great little lamp.

It's a pretty soft light. However in a pitch black room it would seem pretty bright. I use it to light up the bottom of a stairway when I go downstairs in the middle of the night,and it lights the whole area. Say a 6ft circle. But it's not a blinding light even if you stare at the shade. You might consider one with a dimmer switch or install one on a corded lamp (check youtube). I love mine. I'll probably get another one at some point. Hope this helps.

This particular lamp gives off somewhat bright white light, which, from an emotional standpoint, feels cold. I don't believe it's necessarily brighter than, say, a 40 watt incandescent, but it gives a greater sense of glare because of its stark white coldness. I would, personally, prefer a warmer or more golden glow in a nursery room. It would, however be bright enough to see well enough to feed.

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.

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.

It isn't as bright as i would like it to be. It also requires a certain kind of bulb that doesn't give off a lot of light. It also depends on how big the room is. Hope this helps!

Yes it is a very nice lamp. We got it for our son that put it beside his desk to read and he loves it. Nice heavy base. Seems to be well made.

I think it would be perfect for such a use. They throw a fair amount of light at a short distance, so reading should be fine. I don't agree with the other users who said it's very low light. It would be way too bright as a night-light (IMO). It's not going to light up a room, but a kid doesn't need a lot of light for bedtime reading.

I have in my lamp only the bulbs Park-Madison suggests. I agree it does seem dim,however, I err on the safety side. Enjoy your purchase. It is a sturdy lamp!

It is not bright, soft mellow glow. Depending on how bright you want it, you will need multiples. We use it near our front door as a "nightlight" when our kids are out later than we are so they can see when they come in.

It's not meant to illuminate a room by itself, if that helps to answer your question. Obviously, the higher the lumens/watts. the brighter it will be. Hope that helps?

It's a soft light, but not too bright to keep a child awake, I don't believe. This one is a replacement for another that quit revolving, and my son put that one right next to the baby bed for the little one to look at while she went to sleep.

It is bright enough, but I should add always turn on the floor lamp which is nearby and I always open the blinds. I don't mean to discourage. I love this lamp and would definitely buy this one again. I should also say that I haven't needed to change the bulbs even though I've had this lamp for 3 years and use it daily. I would never think of replacing this with another.

I'm not sure what your question is(right lamp for what?),so i'll try to give you some general info.This lamp is good for the vegetative growing stage and two of them should cover a decent sized area.The good thing about these CFL's is that they really don't get hot so you can place them within inches of the top of your plants. If you want something stronger and more suited to the flowering stage,you can go with a high pressure sodium lamp,which hydrofarm makes in several different watt ratings.

You should definitely see a VERY apparent and bright light. If you take it into a dark room and don't see any light coming from the bulb, that means it's not working properly. In fact you shouldn't really even need a dark room, it's bright and you shouldn't look at it directly.

Hi, you would get plenty of light. I have this lamp on my bathroom and I live it. Super recommend.

I would not say this lamp is nice-looking. It is an effective way to provide lots of light. My mother has one at her bedside and one at her desk, placed behind the desk with the lamp curved over the work surface. It does mean that things can fall off the desk since it cannot be pushed up against the wall, to make room for the lamp.

I don't know how many watts the lamp is (it's made up of 6 or 8 little LED lights). It's bright enough to serve as a reading lamp, but not bright enough to light an entire room. It does have its own switch, independent of the switch for the stars.

It's as bright as any "real" candle. Personally I don't think it's suitable as a bedside lamp. Hard to say how many YOU might prefer for reading. Remember the base is about 3 1/2" in diameter so you'de need a fairly large nightstand. Also I think the flickering would get annoying. Abe may have done it, but I wouldn't recommend it at all. It may not bother you now, but you'll pay dearly for it in poor eyesight later in life.
