This lamp gives off a ton of light!  We put it in the corner of our large conference room in our new office and the amount of light it adds to the room is amazing and what we needed!  We were contemplating getting two, but started with one to see if we liked it and if we would need another.  I'm not sure we need another one.  Love this lamp.  It was a little hard to move because of the design and the poles aren't super sturdy so I would recommend assembling it in the exact location where you plan to put it.
