The plastic shade included really emits the light from the lamp to light up a dark room even on the 50w setting

and it brightens the room up!!

I was looking for a lamp to brighten my computer room and also provide light to my work area.

The combination of uplight and downlight results in a very well-lit room.

excellent, illuminates the whole room

The up light on this bounces off the ceiling to help illuminate the room exactly as I needed, the side light is a great plus as I use this unit in my sewing room, and better lighting was a must

It isn't enough to light up a medium - large sized room on its own but it is a fantastic addition to brighten up a room that has a low light otherwise.

Simple design, nothing fancy but with the bright room light plus the reading lamp, it effectively takes care of lighting my home office.

Love it , it give my living room a beautiful look.

With a 150 W-equivalent three-way bulb in the top, the lamp lights a large apartment room very well

It works fine, brightens the room

I've used this so far just to illuminate my living room and as a craft lamp.
