I purchased this for a 14' x 15' guest room/office. We have led ceiling lighting so this was mostly for looks. I'm glad I don't have to rely on it for the only lighting in the room, because the light is very diffused. The color and quality of the globe is great, but finding the right bulb can be tricky. Our electrician was very patient as I tried to decide the correct height, we ended up at about 82".
