Is it bright enough to read by?

I guess it would depend on what bulb you put in. I have mine above my bathroom mirror & it provides a lot of light.

Well? How good are your eyes and what bulb do you plan to use? It is a wall mount light that I hung above my kitchen sink. I have a cfl 13 watt bulb, my eyes aren't 25 anymore but I can read my cookbook.

My seven year old says it's not bright enough to read a chapter book by. She says she could see well enough to read a board book or other book with big letters but not a regular book. She has very good vision, so she's probably a reliable source. Blue is brighter than the other colors so it might work, but a headlamp would be probably be a better bet for reading in a dark room.

It's bright enough to see but not obnoxiously bright. You can change the level of brightness as well. My son loves his.

Yes, it would be quite nice as a reading lamp. Puts off enough light with the bulbs provided.

Yes, it's bright enough to read by, if it isn't located too far from the page. I have mine about 30" above my computer keyboard and it is quite bright. It gets on the hot-ish end of warm, but not so hot you can't touch it. And it uses batteries somewhat quickly, so I recommend either Enoloop rechargeables or the accessory power supply, depending on your placement needs. I think of this as wide-angle task lighting, not room lighting, so if you have dark corners, it helps a lot; for illuminating a dark room, not so much. HTH.

Yes, the display is lit. I just tried it in a closet, and I could read it fine.

No they are not bright enough to read by, but they are bright enough to be able to move around the room and not bump into anything.

These lights have many different brightness levels, you should be able to find a level that allows you to read by these lights.

The light is more mood lighting than reading light. It would have to be extremely close to even attempt to read!

It is not so bright that it hurts MY eyes. I usually use it on low for reading at night but have turned it on high and have NOT been negatively effected by it. :)

My husband and I both find it bright enough to read the paper and books. We're very pleased with this item, and particularly with the ability to move it around the house if we need additional light somewhere.

Yes, it has a backlight that stays on, so you can read it in most any light. It's not too bright, just bright enough to do the job.

Probably bright enough depending on how bright you need it. Would recommend at least two.i.have two in a 3x2 cabinet and it is plenty bright

I don't know how many lumens. It would be bright enough for you to move around and probably see to eat, but not to read.

I don't think it's really THAT bright. It's good for reading a book in the dark but wouldn't depend too much on it for anything else.

It will, of course, depend upon your personal needs/preferences. As the light has three settings, I'm sure one will be sufficient for your reading needs.

I think its bright enough for reading in bed. I use it for that purpose and it works well.
