Okay, so the camera is absolutely incapable of picking up the light that is being cast around the shop, but this lamp is honestly a great light source.
It gives off a great amount of light that allows me to make out things in the shop and at the work bench. It is much brighter than an individual candle. The light is warm and yellow and easy on the eyes.

About four or five of these will cast a good amount of light in the workshop and would be absolutely fine in terms of lighting.

Now since I aim to actually use these for light, that brings the question of "Isn't that dangerous?" and provokes the statement of "That's a fire hazard." from those who see this.

Yes, it's a fire. Fires are known to be dangerous if they have something around them capable of burning.

It is not a candle that could fall into a pile of wood shavings, nor is it near drapes or anything else. That spike holds it 8 inches away from the wall and the flames are tiny.

It is completely above my head and does not get jostled or shaken. The only risk of burning the shop down with this kind of lamp is if I were to, for some daft reason, feel the need to commit arson on my own workshop.

All I have to do to be safe with it is blow out the flames when ever I am no longer needing light to see.
