I bought 2 of these for each side of my couch, they are very bright with a 60 watt bulb, I grabbed one 40 watt bulb which is better, but I'm going to find some softer led bulbs.  You can turn each light on individually, one of the questions asks if you can turn them on individually and wayfair answered no they cannot, but they can! I don't even need all 3 lights on one lamp to light up our living room.  I wanted lamps with glass shades because we burn wood to heat, so fabric shades are not ideal for cleaning.  They are heavy, seem well made.
