I use it as office/workshop lighting. It was very bright and completely changed the rules of the game until it disappeared. One morning I was sitting in my office and suddenly I heard a hiss and a pop and all the wings went out, only the central light remained. Luckily I bought Asurion insurance and filed a claim. Although I will probably order more. I loved the brightness of the light. But I WILL get Asurion coverage again (just in case).
