We just hung this in the entryway to our bedroom- I was really worried that the amber shade would cloud out the light, but it gives off enough light for this space and has a nice soothing glow.  - Also, I had purchased some of the outdoor lanterns from this collection to use inside, and the shade for those is white, which I hadn't noticed when I ordered them,- I was first upset, because I wanted them all to match, but since they are not right next to each other,so I think they work well together anyway..
