The light is not bright enough for my kitchen. With the design allowing for 360 spread of light, I thought it would light the room ... and I guess it does, but with the piddly little bulbs it comes with, the light is just not adequate. I was given information to contact the mfg for advice on best bulb to increase brightness and they never responded. The fan performs well. It is an okay product that could be made great if designed for more bulbs/brighter lumens.
