How bright is this light? I want to use it to light up my small backyard fountain. I am afraid it will be too dim...

I have not installed it yet. Waiting for two more to arrive. 10 watts are pretty bright. Will let you know when I install.

I am using this light for my three tear fountain and it works just fine, but the location of my fountain is exactly below the light. Do not forget this light does not come with an outdoor needed power supply but one can be found on amazon. Also the remote works fine but it only has a three or four foot range. Long and short of it is I am satisified with it.

I have mine install on a fountain and it is bright and very pretty. It is as bright as a 100 watt spot light. Quality is very good. Make sure to pick up a power supply/ driver. As these are 12 volt, the driver/ power supplies are very inexpensive, around 5- 15 dollars. So you need a 12 volt to 120 volt driver/ power supply. But trust me for the price these are awesome lights. I have 25 around my yard and it make a stunning lighting effect. They can also be connected to a low voltage system. We will be very happy with it.

I wrote a review on the light after I bought it and was quite skeptacle on the brightness of the claimed 1200 lumens. I saw the pic and was impressed as well but now that I have it not so much. I'm not buying it ... The photo that is. Hope helps.

It provides a dim spot of light more like a 10 watt bulb. You are NOTwrong! There is a 18 watt CFL bug light that provides a more useful amount of light

I don't consider it to be too bright. It casts a lot of light behind and up the wall it's plugged into, but just a soft glow away from the wall. It's in our three year old's room after going his first two years with just a very dim blue light, and it doesn't bother him at all. You mentioned a small nursery; our room in about 10ft X 12ft.

Sort of, I have mine 20 ft. up in a tree to provide light in the yard below. It is a soft glow. If you were trying to light something you wanted people to see from the street I would suggest going to a brighter one.

This light is like any other. Hook it to 12 VDC and it will light up. There are 2 circuits in the light and depending on which one you connect to will make it brighter or dimmer. Just make sure you have the width and that it won't be in an area where it may be impacted. There are only 2 small dog ears with screws that hold it on.

I'd say it's definitely bright enough. The strobe is very bright and fast, but it would take you a few seconds to access that function. I accidentally looked into the bulb at 2 lumens today and I was seeing a white spot for about a minute.

The light output is roughly that of a 30 to 40 watt bulb so it would not be bright. That said, I bet these would work great for landscaping. I used one for the balcony light and it works wonderfully - another lights up a silk tree in the corner and the effect is very cool. Too much exposure to the weather might not be too friendly for the bulb so keep that in mind. My first bulb, btw, has lasted over a year now.

I don't think it would be to bright but at full power its a very cold or 'white ' light. We have enjoyed these light but they need to be in direct sunlight.

it is pretty bright it easily lights up a reading area. i have never thought to use it to light up a sump pump but i think it will work. if not it has a great many other uses. i have bought eight of them so far and all continue to work. i have them in the kitchen, garage, bbq grill etc. i even have on installed in our matrix as it has an outlet to plug in items.

Well David, that is a good question. I have a light meter, but not where I have this equipment. What would you like to use this to illuminate? I may be able to answer based on your application. The range of color is amazing and it has worked perfect for anything where I have used this item. I have been quite pleased and I was trying to imagine the brightest setting and I can say that the light this strip throws is quite impressive. Sorry I cannot be exact with the lumens but If I knew what you would be using this for I could tell you if it would work, possibly.

The light is NOT dimmable. I bought it to grow an herb plant and it wasn't very helpful. I wish I would of bought another flourscent instead. Hope this helps.

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.

We are using this as a spotlight in front of our building at night. We have a series of them to light up the front. The LED is extremely bright. I would suggest going to a store that sells this product so you can see how it illuminates. I am not sure how big an area you are looking to light but this throws light up about 20 ft. and about 15 ft. wide with the fixture being about 2 ft. from the front of the building.

No, it would not be bright enough. I bought two as flood lights and they hardly light 10 feet ahead

Its not too bright. It has two settings which differ slightly so you can always dim it a bit.

I feel that it is a very bright light, I use it to light up an American Flag. However, it only lasts about 4 hours. Hope this helps.
