These lamps are small but mighty. I like the diffused light that they offer. It's perfect for ambiance. They're not going to give off a ton of light and be super bright but this is perfect for my needs. I hate bright white light, instead preferring atmospheric light and that's what these lamps give. They have a French Country vibe and fit in great with that type of decor. They are smallish and work for that type of space but I use them at opposite ends of a larger light to counterbalance. Very good lights.
