It illuminates very well, fortunately, moreover, that it was not designed for a bedroom or living room but the kitchen would be perfect also for a bathroom. Before I had a single 1 watt LED bulb that does not really shone much, now I even think I illuminates the sidewalk by the kitchen window at night! Small flat anyway on quality, there is a plate of diodes that moves up and down but that does not really care, considering the price in any case it illuminates very well and I think it will last! It remains me two, they broadly enough to illuminate half the cellar of 60m2!
