These lights are bright! We installed two on each of 4, 10-foot long, steps. We actually tried to put a dimmer on them but the lights aren't dimmable.

I use this in a basement utility room above an exit door and it gives out enough light to see in a 9' X 8' area. Check the size they are really big.

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)

Plenty, plenty of light. You will be very pleased. I build custom theaters for a living.

This is not that bright only because it's designed to shine downward. It's for a hallway or a staircase. It works fine for my application but I wish it was slightly brighter.

It's not very bright at all. In fact I was very disappointed with the amount of lumens actually put out. I'm thinking of replacing the two that I purchased because they're just not doing the job.

These lights are huge, not the normal step light size. You will have to cut into the skirting to make these fit.

It is relatively bright. I bought 3 but 2 bulbs are more than sufficient to light up the dining area. I used to have 6 40-watt bulbs and 6 7- watt bulbs on the chandelier. As far as I c an remember I did not buy a dimmable bulb because I don't have a dimmer switch.

Love the light... I would say if you put in 60 watt bulbs you would be fine (I have lower wattage bulbs in mine...as it is in a hallway).

I like mine. It's not too bright nor too dull. For the price I'd suggest trying it as you'll never have too much light..

I tryed it for a landscape up light and it wasn't bright enough, went with a 100w led and it worked great. It was to replace a 175w metal halide. .

It depends on the bulbs you put in! It can handle up to 100w bulbs, so it should be as bright as you want it.

Hi Kenneth, they do a really good job lighting up my entire back yard. I'm currently utilizing a 65 watt bulb and I'm pretty happy with the amount of brightness. I plan on replacing the bulbs with a 70 watt, when they eventually go out. I'm really happy with the product! I went through two motion lights from Home Depot and they both failed on me in less than a year. You won't be disappointed.

Find one with a higher wattage equivalent, they work but not as bright as i would like. I also need to keep one of the original bulbs in the circut. (7) LED & (1) regular filament bulb. If I didn't bulbs would constantly flash. Has to do with Malibu transformer voltage regulator.

Hmm...I don't think it gets THAT bright. It does get pretty bright. I would say more like a 60w bulb.

Dear Harriette, i just can recomand this bulb, we are very pleased with it. It is not just bright enough, it is also saving a lot of energie. I am pretty sure that you will love it. It is work to try it out. Best regards Diana

yes it is - it has 6 watts - that is about equivalent to a 60 watt "classic" light bulb ...... the thing is not bright at all ..... and as it "ages" (within a few month) it is getting worse .... i had 12 of those and within a year - 4 are burned out completely - 4 are really dim and 4 still work .....

Oh sorry that question is too technical for me but we replaced an old regular light fixture from the 70's that was at bottom of staircase with this one and it was easygoing and I really like this light, looks great. Sorry can't be more help.

We have 2 bedrooms which have this ceiling fan. The light is not bright but works great for bedroom use. On a 1 - 10 scale of "bright", I would rate it a 7.

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?

I think the label on the fixture says 60 watts. I used an LED 60W equivalent ( I think about 9 watts) and get plenty of light from it.

for me, using a high wattage bulb with this fixture causes too much brightness which makes it harsh in the eyes. For me, this 5W LED bulb that gives off 350 lumens is just enough. It works great for me.
