I wanted the vintage look but the soft amber light isn't functional for me. I want the look with normal bright light. Thought this was it. Guess not?

I bought this light for the look, they hang over our kitchen island, they are what I imagined, at their brightest (their on a dimmer switch) they are functional and light is I would say not for reading under.

I was a little disappointed as well. Amber isn't really bright enough. It's just like a lamp over an area that needs brighter light. Don't think it said Amber when I ordered it.

I too was disappointed with the amber lighting. I thought it would be a bright white light. They still fit in the sconces nicely and look ok but I would have preferred white as well. The amber doesn't produce much light.

I was thinking the same thing, I hate the battery powered light. If I had known this I wouldn't have ordered it. I will read more carefully next time

I would strongly suggest the bulb strength advised. The notice is there for a reason. Unfortunately, I find that most lamps, pendants etc. have insufficient lighting for my 40+ old eyes!

Hello there!As a fellow poster M. Baird said, using your finger you firmly tap the silver base. NOT too hard, but firmly tap it. These lamps have 3 light settings which get brighter each time you tap the silver metal base of the lamp. I ordered this 2-lamp set, but one of the lamps was defective, so I had to send them back. But they were what I wanted. I will probably order them again at some point. These lamps give off great light. Better than I expected.Good Luck. I think you'll really love these small lamps which give off GREAT light!

Amber lights. They are dim so they aren't overbearing but if you have to have white lights you might be bugged by it. I really can't figure out why they would make them with amber, its really kind of a strange color. Maybe keeps the bugs away.

I bought this product and was a little disappointed with the brightness. I would have liked a little more light. It's hard cause I didn't know wattage or anything, but reviews on this sounded like it was brighter than others. If you're looking for something dimmer then it's probably a good fit. It's also a 5000k like light color which is more natural light but looks a little blue after the sun goes down. (Which is when you obviously need it)

I'm sorry. I returned both lights that I ordered. I was unhappy with quality.

There are some awesome "vintage look" bulbs at Lowe's that give a nice amber light. Would look awesome with this!!

Stephie, I contacted the manufacturer and it is not. But I went to Lowes and picked up light that were really accent lights instead. I only wanted these for my bedroom near our night stands so we had more room. What I bought worked really great, good light and about 20% of the cost. Try that otherwise the cost is rich.

my light died a short time after I got it. Didn't bother me much though, I didn't really get it for the light.

That's exactly why I purchased them. But after removing my grill and the right headlight I realized the shape of the lights were totally different. I called Ano and asked if I could get them modified to fit and the answer was no. I even thought about hollowing out my old set and retro fitting the new light set but they said they highly recommended I did not do that.

This is not a very bright light. I had 2 of these next too a classic art work. The light they produced was mediocre at best. Worst, it was more greenish.didn't like that at all.but for a massage room. They might be right. It ultimately boils down to your personal preference. Good luck.

If yours isn't doing like this video at the beginning then return it. It should look like lighting in the sky quick flashes etc...Hope it helps...really is a great light!http://youtu.be/CZXFgRxgj34

To me this is more of a soft white light. Not bright white, but not really pink.
