wondering if it gives off enough light or does it make the room too dark?

I was worried about that too, but It does give out plenty of light. It's a beautiful shade. I have a fluorescent energy bulb in it and it does take a couple of minutes, but it puts out just the right amount of light. Not too bright, but not dark either. I get a lot of compliments about it.

Hi, Lori. Depends on what your bulb situation/wattage is. I have it on a lamp with more than one bulb, and there's plenty of light. The shade does filter quite a bit, though, making a large contrast between the amount of light coming out from the top and bottom of the shade, versus through it. Very warm color, though.

If this is your only light source it may be to dark.I have other lights in the room.

It's a beautiful shade. It is not really bright, but gives the room a soft glow. My lamp is a dark brown metal captains lantern and it looks perfect with it. I actually ordered this by mistake and had already notified Amazon that I wanted to return it. When it came I really liked it and decided to keep it.

I use more than this light to illuminate the room, so it's fine. You can read y just this light, if it's more than 100 watts

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.

I don't know how dark you mean. I use it in a classroom and my problem is usually too much light. I prefer to turn off the lights and just leave the blinds open enough to give the students some light in order to write. In general, the less light in the room, the better the students can see it.

I have it in a 12x12 room and it has a large window, so it puts off good light. But if the room was much bigger I would think it wouldn't do for single source light. I am in love tho with this chandelier!

Kind of depends on the room and what you're going for. Probably not. It's a fairy subdued look and the light isn't overpowering. Wouldn't recommend that for a bedroom or anything along those lines though.

In my opinion, no. I replaced a chandelier with this one and while I am quite happy with the look and quality of the light it doesn't put off a ton of light. Lucky for me I have other can lighting in this room therefore it is not an issue.

Yes. It gives a lot of light. Love it but just be prepared to put it together piece by piece took me over 3,hours alot of work but beautiful when its done

I would say it gives a medium amount of light. It does have a plastic diffuser disk covering the bulbs that dims it a bit but it's not super dim. We put it over a dining room table and had it on a dimmer so we could turn down the amount of light.

It won't be as bright as normal lighting, and it's on the bluish side, but I've been able to light my studio apartment well enough to see everything. Plus, you can pop the top off, exposing the LEDs, and if you hang it by the bottom hook from the ceiling it will light things up pretty well.

Not very well. It's open a crack at the top bottom and side. When a light is on in one room it shines through to the next. We added a black out curtain to on side of it and that helped a lot.

It will definitely not be enough light, IMO. Light does not penetrate very deep and the light itself is not very wide either.

Ours is in a dim hallway with no direct natural light, and it is off during the day. It only comes on at night when none of the bedroom lights are on and the hall is dark. It does exactly what we wanted it to do.

I would have to say no. It's more of a spotlight. It's good for lighting up a table top for when you're doing crafts or sewing, but it wouldn't light the whole room.

Yes. I occasionally work at the table and I find that there is enough light. Of course it would depend on how low the light is over the table. Overall I have been very happy with this light.

I personally think it is very bright and gives off plenty of light. My daughter room is 16'x14'. Hope this is helpful.

No, we don't find that it darkens the room. It lets the light through, but adds privacy.

since this is most effective in a darkened room, if the room is too bright it is not visible or effective from outside the building. I do not have any problem with the lighting level when it turns itself on or off. You may want to try repositioning the one you have so the back of the unit is exposed to the light coming in from a window.
