Our apartment doesn’t have overhead lighting for the dinner table, didn’t want to deal with putting screws in the ceiling to hang something over the table. This works great and lights up the whole room! Just have it up against a wall next to the table and the whole ceiling is lit. It’s shocking how bright it is and how well this works. The remote never worked so I put a request for a replacement part for it, they said they didn’t have any extra remotes so instead they’re shipping me a whole new lamp and remote for free!
