How bright is the lamp? So can it also brighten up the living room or is it only intended as a background light for the TV? 2500 lumens is not a small amount? Thank you!
I wouldn't recommend it as the sole main lamp, but it works very well for us as a reading lamp or as room lighting to deter burglars. White walls are helpful and together with additional lamps it creates wonderful indirect lighting.
It is certainly not intended as a stand-alone lamp. It only shines in one direction and is only used indirectly. But when it is set to white, it brightens up well.
