Would the brightness of this fixture be sufficient as the sole light source in a 12x 14 kitchen?

It is great for the dining room area but in the kitchen you may want to add some task lighting also

It will, however mine worked for about a week before melting and the black box inside blew up. I do NOT recommend this!!!!

I have a dimmer on mine. I think it COULD possibly be sole source but you'd have to have them turned all the way up and they would b burning hot over a long period of time. It's a beautiful but simple light and is in my dining room which is open to a den so I do have other lights around

For a kitchen your size it's depends on how much light u want. It gives off a total of 120 watts from 6 bulbs. I installed it in my bedroom which is 16x16 using the yellow bulbs that came with it and it's pretty bright. If u install it in the kitchen, u can get the white light bulbs because the light comes with the yellow light bulbs. It depends on how much light u want.

I don't think so. It's great in my daughter's room, which is about the same size as your kitchen. It's bright enough for her room to read casually. Her room is light colors with no obstructions (like cabinets) on the wall though. You know your kitchen best. Hope this helps.

The brightness of this fixture is equivalent to a 40watt incandescent bulb. For a kitchen you might need additional lighting along with it.

Yes... I think so. The room it's in is 10x12 and is very bright! This fixture allows up to 60 watt bulbs. If memory serves me right, we down graded to 40 watts. Still plenty of light. We added shades...

I would say yes....these are really decent lights.Now i got some phillips that are twice the price for use in the in the kitchen and the are a little more brilliant.These replaced 40 watt incandesent bulbs in a bathroom fixture,and they are just a tic less bright but i really dont notice it.

These fixtures have rods that can be cut to the length needed. Hanging closer to the work surface would give more light. I installed LED bulbs (about $8 ea) and there is plenty of light now over my kitchen counter!

It will definitely not be enough light, IMO. Light does not penetrate very deep and the light itself is not very wide either.

no the light is very dim, even two will not be sufficient especially if it is a work space.

Sure. I have 2 in a similar capacity w/ 95W LED's and a dimmer. Plenty of light.

I think so, we did 4 of these all at same time and the lights are all we need for a small bedroom. NOT a night-light low wattage lamp - a regular ceiling fixture brightness

Due to its bulb, not sure it would work very well. When I initially purchased it, some said that it would only work in a very small area. I installed it in a kitchen and it not only looks fantastic, but is more than enough light.

Im not surw, but since its a standard fixture, I believe a dimmer would be fine.

I don't think it would be to bright but at full power its a very cold or 'white ' light. We have enjoyed these light but they need to be in direct sunlight.

No - I don't believe it would be bright enough. This requires the room to be very dark.

Yes, there will be enough light, but its a very yellow hue. These are old fashioned filament light bulbs so they have a very yellow cast. It's bright, but not like an LED or CFL bulb. I think thet're really made for indoor lighting for ambiance.

It's the same as any other recessed light as far as light output. If one is enough for you then yes. I think I'd want at least one other light if it was me.

It will not be as bright as flood lights or most kitchen lighting. But it does a good job of lighting say a living room, I'm just afraid you may need more in a kitchen.

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 wouldn't call it bright like what I would want in a kitchen. We have it in a bedroom and need lamps to get full illumination. You might want to look for a fan that has both a downlight and an uplight. They cost more, but may give you what you need.
