This replaced a fluorescent builder's box light in our kitchen. I cannot believe the difference it makes. I love it and I'm so glad I found it on Wayfair. You can adjust the individual lamps to direct light where you need it. You can also configure the shape however you need it. We have it in a horseshoe shape. It is so much more bright and warm than the fluorescent light it replaced. I have no doubt it would work in a home office or family room.
