My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Is it enough to light a room or will I need additional floor lamps in a small living room?

    Hello, thanks for your question. It would depend what kind of bulbs you use. Some customers do not use the Edsion bulbs and opt for yellow-style LED bulbs. It provides enough brightness for a small or average-sized dining room or living room. Your preference for brightness and whether you're reading books or watching television will also have an impact. Happy Houzzing!
