How much light does it give off? I need it to light an office without much other lighting

I love it--and as long as it is close to the desk you'll be fine. If it is in corner away from the desk, you'll need a snazzy desk lamp.

It has three different settings, 2 lights, 3 lights or 5 lights. Depending on how you set up the plastic shades around the bulbs those will give off varying amounts of light (example: I use the two darkest shades for the 2 light setting to give off the dimmest light as we use it for night time in my sons room. It gives off a fair amount of light overall, especially on the 5 light setting.

It isn't as bright as i would like it to be. It also requires a certain kind of bulb that doesn't give off a lot of light. It also depends on how big the room is. Hope this helps!

Most of the time it is the only light I have on in the living room. (Aside from the tv). As the individual arms are position able I can made it as light it dark in one area as I want in addition to 3 settings. I liked it so much I bought one for a different room in the house.

That will probably depend on what size/type bulbs you put in it. Check to see what watts it can handle. We have compact fluorescents in ours, and it's in the corner of a bedroom. Personally, it would not be enough office lighting for me with our bulbs. My daughter uses it to light an area over a chair so she can study. I would see it more as accent or spot area lighting, not whole room lighting, at least with our bulbs which I think are probably compact fluorescent equivilents to 40 watts each.

It gives off adequate light in the bedroom (12x12)we have it in. Not sure it would be enough in a large formal dining or living room area. Hope it helps.

Takes 3 _60w light bulbs.. room would be to dark with 20w, it would be like lighting 3 lighters in a room

Hmm, maybe if your outdoor area is really dark. In an office, it really needs to be fairly dark to be seen. I wouldn't think it would hold up if you had ambient light from outdoor street lamps or from your home.

1800 lumens is just enough to light up a specific area. You can use it in your room when you're working. It's really bright. I've had the original bulb replaced with this one and it's brighter for me Triangle Bulbs T50026 - FML27/65K, 27 Watt, 6500K Natural Daylight, 4-pin GX10q-4 Base, FML Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

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.

Its more of a directional lamp. The room wouldnt be dark but I doubt it would be the effect your looking for. I use it over the couch similar to task lighting.

I am not sure, I use it at my office, but the light on it is really bright if you are looking to light the room up.

I really don't think one would light much. We use it to light a aluminum Christmas tree works well, but not great. would work well as a disco light color changer in a multi-light set-up, I believe.

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.

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.

I use a fluorescent Bulb and it gives plenty of light... also is very quiet.

It uses a particular type of light-I've never seen this type of "bulb" before but Amazon sells them. I have the desk size (usb) so others might take another type of bulb

No power consumption is given - it is a very bright array of LED's (28!) - almost too bright for my purpose of a key-board light - almost like a small desk lamp.So, based on brightness alone, it is not the lowest one out there for low power. Good light source however -

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.

Yes, There is a lot of light with this unit and some times it is too bright. The down side to the unit is that it does not have any support other then the "USB socket". (don't bump into it or try to maneuver it without supporting the socket). I put a rubber base on it to allow it to touch the desk when plugged in for support of the socket and have had no issues.

Doesn't give off any glare at my 60 watts. But this is a bounce light meant to light by bouncing light off the ceiling (mostly) and it calls for some more serious wattage to light a room.
