is this lamp decorative only or does it also light up a room as where I need to place it, I need to see

It puts out a decent amount of light, but is definitely not a good light source for reading or any kind of project. I do however love the lamp and would recommend picking it up for a good price.

Yes, Diana, it lights up very nicely. I have it in my bedroom in the corner near my bed and at least in my opinion it does very well; I do read by it. I don't think I will tire of this lamp soon; for me it is a keeper.

I really like this lamp. It does light up a room and is a unique piece in the room as well.

yes, it does light up the room but is better if it is a small room. Very nice I do like it!

I have it in my dining room and it's only 10x12 and it is very dim in there. I have very bright bulbs in but I would say its def more a decorative piece

I have 65 watt bulb in it, and I believe it accepts more than double that amount. It adds a nice mood lighting to my office, and all I add is a desk lamp, which lights my work surface. I think if you were to use the maximum wattage, it woul be enough to light a small room.

I wouldn't say it can light up a room (especially a large one), but it does cast more light than a strictly decorative lamp. I have it in the corner of my living room/dining room (about 200 sq feet) and it lights that area well enough to read by. If I had two in the room I'd feel it was a pretty well-lit space. (But then I don't particularly care for bright lights.) Hope that helps!

No problem. If I point the lamp straignt down, I can get it to throw a 14" diameter circle of bright light. If I angle it to the side a bit the spot becomes an oval easily over 2 feet wide and 3 feet long. This lamp is a spot light that makes a great task light, but it doesn't contribute much to lighting a room. Without another lamp near by, there is a spot of bright light and not much else.

The lamp is very bright. However, because you point it in a direction, it would be kind of a weird way to light a whole room (it would be like having the sun in the corner). If that's your goal, I think something like a halogen floor lamp (that bounces light up off the ceiling) would be better. I've used the Atlas lamp for extra reading light when it's behind me, but we put a silver tip bulb in because the bulb itself pointing at you is really bright.

I use mine over a table in a craft room. It provides enough light for my tasks at night and is very pretty! It is a plug in light and is not hard-wired so it does not have the versatility of a dimmer switch as you might need in a children's nursery when changing diapers at night.

It does put out a bright light but there are 2 settings that you can choose. I have it on the higher setting and love the lamps

The lamp has three light levels. The lowest level would be good for bed side. The lamp itself, depending on table size, might be okay size wise. The vertical arm and horizontal top are adjustable enough to make it work. If I were looking for a lamp, and knowing what I do now about this lamp, I would go for it if it fit my decor.

Its more of a directional lamp. The room wouldnt be dark but I doubt it would be the effect your looking for. I use it over the couch similar to task lighting.

The room can be lit, however, the picture quality will not be nearly as high as when the lights are off. Partial lighting will not hinder the quality. I normally have a few lamps on in the room I use it in and the picture looks fine.

The lamp is assembled and plugs into an outlet. I have had mine for quite awhile and love it and receive many compliments on it.

I have 2 of these lamps amd they are just gorgeous when lit. the bottom light is like a night light and I leave it on all the time. The top of the lamp has 2 light bulbs and it puts out strong light. You will love them.

I guess that depends on the size of the room. I have it hanging over a rectangular dining table in a very long room that serves as my dining room and living room. It is the only source of light for the "dining" side of that room. I have four 40 watt bulbs in it, and have it on a dimmer. When at full power, it is quite bright.

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 for one just use this particular lighting fixture behind my head post bed for a very nice reading lamp in my room but, I do not think it is real extravant for office use.... anyway's works great for my needs.

It is not very bright. It is more of a nightlight than a lamp. It is very pretty but won't brighten a dark room.

It is an up light but it provides lots of light. Mine is over a vanity mirror and it works great.

The lamp is the same as shown on the picture. I bought one recently and now it's hanging on top of my new kitchen island. I am very happy with the purchase and got many complements. However, be aware that it is not a very bright lamp, so if you are planning on using it as a main light source, you might want to look elsewhere and spend more.

It is a 'plug in table lamp. I don't quite understand why the pictured one appears to be a hanging lamp. Four to five feet is usually adequate for a table/desktop type lamp. If you need more cord than use an extension cord. If you are going to hang the light more than five feet from the ceiling then if probably should be rewired by someone who knows what they are doing - although it isn't that difficult. I've purchased probably a dozen lamps of that type and this one is by far the most beautiful of all and at a more than reasonable price. charlie b
