would you put this over a dinning table or is the light not big enough?

only if it is a very small table. I put mine over my kitchen sink which is in front of a small window and it fits nicely there. However my kitchen and dining area is pretty small so this light was perfect for the area I needed

my dining room table is 48 inch diameter. I have it mounted above approx 25inch and it lights the area perfectly

I used the lamp very successfully over a 4'x4' dining room table that seats four people .The light given off is excellent.

It is over our kitchen table and looks great...BUT...even with a dimmer switch attached we find it too glary. I've been trying to find some sort of shield or baffle to block the direct light but haven't had any luck online. All the ones I've found are for light bulbs that face up or down, while these are horizontal.

I think it would work over a dining table. It measures 18" in diameter for a reference point. It's really pretty!

I have this beautiful light over my table which is between the kitchen and living room. It isn't a bright light because of the different colored panes. That said, it is plenty bright enough and I love it.

We have it over our kitchen table. It has two 60 watt bulbes. We have plenty of light.

I have it above my dining room table. I have a couple of high wattage equivalent eco bulbs in it. It puts out plenty of light. It really sets off the dining room when lit!

Yes, we have it over a small 42" round table that was in a dark corner of our large living room. Now that area is well lit and our kids also do their homework and other crafts and projects there. also it is a nice fixture and very stylish.

We have a breakfast bar too, but no cabinet above it. The one thing that might bother you is seeing the actual light fixture if you're going to be eating right under it. It's not pretty especially since you have to attach the adapter right next to it. If you have a lightrail around your cabinet, you may not see it (needs to be at least 1.5"), and would definitely look great. The light is very pleasing to the eyes, we use it in the morning all the time, as opposed to regular recessed lighting. Also at night it makes for a pretty cool night light! Did I mention the lights don't get hot?

I am not sure. I never asked. Perhaps a higher wattage bulb or a globe that is clear would improve the amount of light.

I guess it looks ok as a complimentary lighting, like next to the bed. as a reading light though, I won't recommend it. I couldn't find a bulb bright enough though.

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.

Maybe not. This is a purely decorative light. Looks great, but does not give off a tremendous amount of light and uses a special bulb.

I think 100W is too much light, I'm using only a 60W bulb with the dome about 30 inches above the table...

It really isn't bright enough for a table, but is a good light to read or focusing on specific area.

yes it would work sitting on the table with the light shining up - and it definitely would be the brightest.

If you are sitting near it, yes. We have it as the main light in our living room and I need to turn on a table lamp to have it bright enough when about 10-12 feet from the lamp. Our living room is about 16ft x 12ft.

The picture we light with this is just 24 wide and 30 high. I agree with what T says, it's not going to be enough light on the picture you want. We have other art in our home that we use electrical light fixtures and they work perfectly for something of the size you refer to. One is similar in size to what you mention and we use about a 26/28 inch electrical light on it.

You might have to cut it or wrap around sides. Depending on room it might put out too much light. You could always put a dimmer switch on it.

Possibly. Its not bright like a lantern, you will be able to see enough, but it depends how lit up you want the table to be. It has a nice glow to it but it's definitely not a lantern.

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.

Not sure about that, I use a 60 watt bulb with a wall dimmer for a very nice warm effect. I have the fixture above my dining table.

I think so. My father-in-law uses it on his end table. It has 2 lights under the shade & then it also has a nite lite in the base of it.
