How bright is the light? (Roughly speaking) This is for a bedroom with a narrow window. Thx

We replaced track lighting, and it works well for general lighting in this small bedroom (10 x 12') with bedside lamps for reading.

The light is very dim and with a yellow/orange color. Even at it brightest setting, it's more of an accent light than a usable light. This Minka fan replaced a fan with a 75W incandescent bulb, and is much dimmer and much more yellow/orange in color. I'm going to try another light bulb and hope that helps. UPDATE: I replaced the light bulb in my fan with a 150W bulb. The new bulb is much brighter. Now, while not real bright (maybe equivalent to my old fan with a 75W or 100W incandescent bulb), my Minka fan has a useable brightness.

It works in a room with other lighting sources but it is not terribly bright. Love the fan and the remote features and looks great.

lighting level is just fair - not sufficient to replace a 100 watt bulb - other then that - I would not suggest buying the Minka unit - its a disaster to install and not engineered very well , a very poor choice even though it looks good.

Pretty bright - we do not use it much because we prefer other light in the room that is available. We LOVE the fan though. . . .

Not sure how to measure the brightness. To me for bedroom use, the brightness is pretty decent; you can do some clean up under the light. However, if you want to read a book, then you'd better to use a table lamp.

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.

I think it's brighter than an ordinary flashlight. I have one in my hallway and when the lights recently went out, it lit up the hallway bright enough to see where I was going. It's not a very long hallway though.

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

Brightness is relative to the size of your space. I installed two of these in a small powder room. They are definitely BRIGHT. Perfect with a dimmer switch set at about 2/3 power.

It's definitely bright enough for using as an under cabinet light. You can adjust the angle/direction to get the response you want.I do find it comes on with minimal movement, but that is what I want. If I didn't I'd find a way to turn it or partially cover the sensor to make it less sensitive.

The light on this fan is good. I found it to be better than the fan that was in that room. I don't consider it great. The room it is in is 12x12 with light colors. If it is going in a bigger or darker room it may not be bright enough. Overall I would give this light on this fan a rating of about 7 or 8 out of 10.

It's bright but not extremely bright. At night I had it across the room and pointed it toward the window but with a light on in the room, you could not see the fake TV. It's no different than having your TV on during the day. You probably couldn't see a real TV flickering light against your blinds or curtains either. If you position it too close to the window, then it's obvious it's a small light source pointed at the window. I think it's excellent on a second story with the blinds slightly open. With blinds, you need the room dark. During the day, you'll need the blinds open (but fake TV can't be visible) or sheer blinds. It's bright but not extremely bright.

It's not very bright at all. It is a very attractive light but that is about all is offers. I had to throw mine out because it made a zzz sound and smelled like smoke. Although I am sure it was damaged in the shipment. So I doubt this is the norm for this product.

The light is quite directional - but is also very bright. I would say that the output and spread is more than some may want if another person is trying to sleep next to you in same bed. Very good light- is very strong.

It shouldn't be too bright especially since you can control the angle of the light. Worse case scenario? Try it, and if it doesn't work it's very handy for a lot of other things....or send it back. I think you'll like it.

I have it in a bedroom (150 sq ft with 9' ceilings) and it's more than enough light. Might not be suitable for a large room with very high ceilings though.

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

My guess would be 75 to 90 lumen, its not super bright, but it is plenty bright enough to light up a dark hallway or parts of your home inside well enough to see pretty good. It does work well but its no Surefire. If your wanting it for use indoors, it should put off enough light for you. It does make a bit more light then those cheapo handgun mini lights.

I think it would be to bright. I installed in a small galley style kitchen. It's almost as bright as daylight on a sunny day. Great light but not soft.

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.

Hi Jerome, I read a lot in bed, and I use this lamp. The light is a bit whiter than I would like, but it is bright enough for a good reading, and at the same time very discrete for any other person sleeping in the same bedroom. Hope his helps !Regards,Rodrigo
