I recently moved and have a new location. Some areas in my new house are darker with very low light output, even with the standard 100W or more. I bought this lamp for experiments. The light is phenomenal. I installed recessed lighting throughout the kitchen and installed SANSI above the sink, which is of course where I work a lot. As I get older, I also tend to have trouble seeing objects as clearly as I used to. SANSI literally lit the entire sink area very brightly, almost like daylight. I am very happy with my purchase. I need to light four more rooms around the house and now only the cost doesn't allow me to buy bulbs for it. I will be with the times when finances weaken.
