Love this for my long table.   I’ve used the lights in the evening and love the ambiance.  I would probably want more light if we were reading or doing some detailed.  
I do recommend ensuring you have the right weight of base.  I use mine through a table which helps some with stability but in a heavy wind, it definitely leans.  I went with 25lbs base because so many were out of stock.  Definitely not enough.  I have a 50 lbs base coming that should keep it in place better.
