Does it put off enough light for an office - so you can work and see what you are working on?

Yes def....no worries produces a lot of light even with 40 watt bulbs....also gives off a lot of heat

I put 60 watt bulbs in it and it lights up my dining room very nicely. This is a gorgeous light fixture!

I have the lamp on one end of a work table that is 4 feet long and 16 inched deep. At full bright, the lamp illuminates the entire surface, but is brighter at or near the lamp. If it were elevated above the surface in the middle back of your desk, it should provide decent work light on most of the surface. This is LED light, not incandesant, so at the same brightness it has a softer bluish appearance. I hope this helps your decision.

Only if its not a well lit room..if the room has a lot of sunlight this light wont really show

yes it is plenty bright to read, no it only has on/off. You could cover the lamp with masking tape to dim it.

I don't think it will give you enough light. How it compares to 110 watts I'm not sure. I tried to shine it across the small bedroom we have it in and I don't think it gave off enough light.....especially for playing darts. It works great on my son't desk, bright but not to bright.

It would make an excellent task light. You can aim it as you like and the brightness is not excessive but just about right for reading etc. The quality is also very good along with the price.

I don't think it would give enough light for your purposes . Think of it as a good closet light or as a work lamp.

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.

It does not give off much light. We have one on either side of our television in the basement. We use them for ambient lighting.

I think it could work for that. Since it has white/ivory colored pieces, it is not as dark as some but not a harsh light either. It's akin to having a lamp with a white cloth shade. Very classy look! Obviously not able to be directed to your workspace though. It gives a general area lighting. I could make it work, especially with an LED light in there that would give more light for less power than it's 60 W max.

No, it's not a very bright light. We have recessed lighting in the bedroom as well as the fan light. I wouldn't recommend it as your only light source.

Absolutely. I use mine at work in an office. Definitely not overly bright but helps with the winter blues!!!!

I have 3 of them installed about 5 feet above my computer desk. It is adequate lighting for working at the desk, but not for the rest of the room.

Interesting question, Julie. I do not know if that is one of the advertised features, but I have not experienced any significant amount of glare in my home office, with an overhead compact fluorescent light on the ceiling above and behind my work surface.

You can read in an office environment but not necessarily outside.It gets about as dark as a a glowing poster after 20 minutes of light.

I use this to illuminate a double garage, and so there will be an adundance of light. There is also a fair amount of heat close to the lamp and so you would have to isolate it from nearby clothing, and in a confined space such as a closet it might warm the room too much. I would look for something in the 100 - 150 watt range. Hope this helps.
