ARE THE LIGHTS PRETTY BRIGHT WHEN IT'S ON?

I would say it's mostly like a soft glow (so it won't light up a room), but because they are led, they are brighter than traditional Christmas lights.

My daughter has it in the corner of her living room in her apartment. The lights are just right for a soft mood effect. If all the lights are off in the living room it provides a soft glow. It is light enough to see everything in the room, but not light enough for reading etc.

Yes, it is very well lit with a soft light that can be easily seen from across the room. This has been very effective with my two younger sons (if only I'd discovered this for my oldest!).

Its not too bright. It has two settings which differ slightly so you can always dim it a bit.

Yes, light is very bright. I have mine mounted on 2nd story and it casts very sufficient light

Yes they are pretty bright for a small light, it can light up part of a room

Yes, they are "instant on", as soon as you switch the light on it is bright

Yep! The green power light stays on, but its hardly noticeable. The night lite part is really pleasant and subtle when it is on.

They are pretty bright. They light up where I put them pretty decent. The white isn't true white though. Its not as crystal clear white as a regular light bulb. Hope that helps

Yes. It lights up as soon as you turn the power on. I'm still trying to get more familiar with it, but so far I'm very impressed with the quality. Hope that helps!

Yes they are, very bright I might add. I really like that about this clock/radio....

yes they are brighter, I would probably say about half again brighter than your halogen lights. I have these hooked up where they turn on when my bright lights do. When other people flash there bright lights at me thinking I have my brights on when I only have my dims on these lights will make them think there's an airplane fixing to land on them. They are awesome.

I don't consider it to be too bright. It casts a lot of light behind and up the wall it's plugged into, but just a soft glow away from the wall. It's in our three year old's room after going his first two years with just a very dim blue light, and it doesn't bother him at all. You mentioned a small nursery; our room in about 10ft X 12ft.

They seem to be all around. I used them for courtesy lamp replacement in my boat. They are so bright that I had to replace them with the original incandescent lights. Whether or not that is a plus, or a minus has to do with application, and preference.

Yes. It's not as bright as it normally is but you can still see pretty well.

To a certain extent. On my honda, the dimmest setting is still pretty bright.

I would say it pretty bright but it could be better and its a blue light. But its not dim it is readable for the most part.

Yes, it's bright. I have a small area and it brightens it up. Not quite sure about the total watts? ...it is beautiful! I needed it plug into outlet and the wiring for that was a little tricky but they give a help number to call and their assistance made it easy. Enjoy!
