w/ the Ikea bulbs, it's very good light because it's diffused over a large area - not orange, too

depends on the bulb you use i have found that if you use the spiral non see thro energy saving bulbs its not bright at all but does add a verry nice subtle glow to the room the paper on it is white so if its a white bulb or a see thro bulb it has a nice white glow to it i use a 40w see thro bulb its one of those reallly big ones thats completely see thro glass and thats what i prefer it gives off tons of light but the shade dampens it enough not to blind u if u look at it

No it's. Not very bright. A high Watt bulb (I'm my opinion) would be scary with the shade. There's only one bulb socket on this one too!

It's not overly bright but with the nice white shade and one of new flourscent bulbs the light is very white. I have it in a corner of my living room and it's just the right amount of light for me. Not sure if it would be enough for reading, guess it depends on the placement but it is white not orange

It will light up a corner or that area you put it in very well but it dosent have much of a wide range lighting from the paper thing

Yes, quite bright. The light it puts out is pretty directional though, so it doesn't necessarily dazzle the entire room. I have mine mounted on a side table next to the bed, and I can aim it toward the foot of the bed to give plenty of light for reading without keeping my wife awake on the other side of the bed. Of course, if you mount it on the headboard and have it pointing down over the pillows, it's going to be pretty well lit everywhere. It is not a pencil beam by any means.

Not a lot of light, but the elements definitely glow a very hot orange color. We have it in a private location we too do not want light-- and find it works great.

I have mine in my living room, so I'm not sure. I would say will light it up, but maybe not enough to read.

No where near as bright. But much more asthetic. Suggest you go to home box store and review similar.

It is orange, but not "in your face bright" orange. Muted colors that are still lively.

There is an orange light that is on when the heater is active. It isn't very bright, though. I still only see it faintly when it's dark in the chicken coop and I go to put in more water. It is only on, when the heater is actually heating, not always.

No it's not but the orange is very bright during the day light. All you can see is the Tritium inserts at night. In moderate light settings it can be a little difficult to see. both the orange or the Tritium. You have this issue with most sights though. Hasn't effected me much though. Usually there's enough light to still see the outline of your sights clearly.

Its very bright and you cannot adjust the intensity. I usually put it on a tripod and point it toward the ceiling to give back light instead of straight on. Pictures don't look washed out though. Hope this helps

Yes, very. This one's too bright for me. Good for larger rooms but for my small kitchen it lights up the room like flashbang or something....my eyes..

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.

My guess is this one will be too bright for you. It's almost too bright for us. There's no way it's the "very dim" you're looking for. We finally gave up looking for a dim one and settled for this. (At least it's cute.) Good luck!

Yes it puts out quite a bit of light. What's great is you can have one bulb on or both lights. It's a main light in the living room. Nice light.

Yes- this is my main light in my living room. The top is open- so a bright light bulb makes a big difference.

I have only used the brightest setting. Of course, you should not look directly at it. (Really you can't, or not for more than a second.) If you are using this lamp for SAD, I can't imagine why you wouldn't want it as bright as possible, unless you suddenly have more energy than you know what to do with! :)

I wouldn't call it bright like what I would want in a kitchen. We have it in a bedroom and need lamps to get full illumination. You might want to look for a fan that has both a downlight and an uplight. They cost more, but may give you what you need.

They are absolutely bright enough depending on the color. So if you put on RED then it is bright but not like the whitest light they can be. I have three in a medium sized living room and on the brightest setting it is very bright in the room.
