They are of lower intensity and the more of them you have, the brighter they get. I believe they were largely meant to be decorative and ultimately to supplement lighting that came from separate decorative wall sconces.
The lights work but they do not stand up straight in the base some wobble and fall sideways. I have problems with the lights intermittently blinking, even when not dimmed. No flicker w/ filament bulbs.
The size of the room definitely changes how they look in terms of brightness. Having to use 6 bulbs together contributes to them working as daylight brightness. Although they are 40 watt, they are quite bright.
These have a terrible lifespan and are not worth the money. Was very displeased.
