I have a hangingTiffany tortoise-shell type light hanging down on a chain over a benchtop where I play chess, and wanted to increase the amount of light to illuminate the different coloured pieces of glass. But when I put a brighter standard bulb in there was too much glare coming from the chess board. This bulb was the perfect solution. It reflects a good amount of light upwards by way of a partial mirrored coating on the globe, whilst also allowing enough light downwards to illuminate what’s below. Great product. Reasonable delivery time too from Tasmania to NZ. And worth the price for the job it does. Thank you.
