It is for this small lamp, as so often, obviously on the individual applications. I can with the best will not be described as bright, unfortunately! Not for the trunk, not for the shed, not as a bedside lamp replacement (I can not read this, then I'd have you been directly put into the book), not as an additional light to the series connected lamps below the wall units in the kitchen, which I acquired they had (2 pieces) - because it pales in literally compared to other emitters. As Schlummerlicht or even in complete darkness, so if you just seem weak brightness needs, but only a little guidance, you're certainly well served by her. Since I had to test but the brightness in one of two ordered lamps, I had to remove the "contraceptive" foil between battery and contact. This lamp can I then unfortunately no longer return. However, the second goes back again.
