Though the light is beautiful, it doesn't give me enough light to read, etc.  I will have to find a lamp as an additional source of lighting to solve that problem.  The light is in a fairly small room so I thought it might work, but you just don't know these things until you try it.  I still love the light and so does everyone else!  The lamp which I have to find, I'm sure will solve this problem.  Don't hesitate to buy it if my situation is not yours.
