Purchased for desk lamp with swing arm to provide more light when working on computer. Pretty bright and looks good. The lamp actually hangs about 3/4 inch below the lampshade, but that wasn't a problem, at least for me. I used to buy these guys from a home store but they don't have them anymore. They actually have higher power (75 vs 60) than the ones I originally bought. The only downside is the price, but if they hold up as well as my originals then it's worth it.
