would this light be good to use in a prep and cooking area. I have a 10x10 area, would you use 1or2 lights

In a kitchen area, you want bright lights. I'd use 4 unless you have other lights (under the counter, sink lights, etc.).

Well, it has a nice finish to it. However, it is a bit industrial looking. I used it in my garage & a friend bought one & used it on their out door covered patio . So, it will depend on the look you are trying to attain.

Well, for sure the light(s) would be good-looking in your kitchen. The issue would be ENOUGH LIGHT to cover what you want in the way of prep and cooking. Ours is over the dining table with a low-energy bulb and it takes awhile to heat up for brightness. Hope this helps.

Sure. I have 2 in a similar capacity w/ 95W LED's and a dimmer. Plenty of light.

I purchased two of these lights for my prep and cooking area in a space about that size. I love the direct overhead light it provides.

I have one of these in my kitchen and it works as a great nightlite. I also have one in my bedroom and it is behind a door so the light is not so bright as to keep me awake. I think, for me, if it was not part way hidden it would be bright enough to keep me awake. I have not ever had to use it during a power failure yet. So I can't say how long it would stay lit.

We placed three lights along a 7'x3' counter. I am not sure two would be enough. The light is very focused, almost like a task light. The shade is on the small side so it also limits the spread of the light. That being said, I love our grouping of three!

I would choose another light. The soldering on this light looks like a child did it. But as far as the size, it might work.

Keep in mind it's only 5" tall, so you'd probably want to set it up off the table or hang it over your work space in order to illuminate a broader area. But it's pretty bright considering its size, so unless you're doing something fairly detailed, I think it would provide enough light for cooking. I've used it while tent camping several times, and I love it! In fact, I bought two!

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!

John,I used my light for under the counter task lighting. I don't think it will do the job for a larger area of 25 square feet.

It's a cool light. We have these lights in our kitchen ceiling. No heat, just a clean bright light. Perfect for cooking.

I think it is great at close range in a well lit room which is how I use it. If you would like to be 10ft away and the lights are dim I am sure it would be just fine.

Yes. That is what I used it for. I recommend warm white (27000K) for most indoor lighting.

This is an ideal light to use indoors. If you use two lights you can get a nice backlight effect and the dimmer switch is convenient for adjusting the brightness quickly. I only use the white diffuser screen to get a flat neutral shot and I can adjust the temperature of the picture in Photoshop. This light can get extremely bright and could easily light up an object from 7-10 feet away depending on how much light you need.

I would say this is the type of light to give you "bright daylight". It is fantastic for reading and making a well lit room as you can choose the wattage you want. 2 lamps in a room that size should be sufficient .

it has good light if working on an item close around it....but would be better I think with a brighter light for a little more distance.

DeeDoo, of course it depends on the size of your kitchen. We are using it in a relatively modest size bathroom and it does a good enough job. However, the bathroom is narrow. If you have a square shaped kitchen, and the light is flush with your ceiling it may not be providing enough light on the periphery. It is pointing downward. Again, nice light for narrow spaces. Also, it has a matte screen, so not terribly bright for working area of a kitchen.Hope this helps.

Yes, the light needs to be brighter. Maybe 2 bulbs instead of 1. It does not light our small kitchen.

Depends on how much other light there is in the room...it's not the brightest fixture ever. It'd be good for effect lighting but not for primary lighting.

I've only used it outdoors & in my tent but it gives out a lot of light so it should be adequate. I usually take it apart & only need one small light for walking around while camping. I love it!
