    Title: Geometric Stained Glass Oil Floor Lamp
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker?
    Details: Just purchased the 3 pack Geometric Stained Glass Oil Floor Lamp. Attempted to place them in several different areas, but they only emit a very small radius of light so I cannot use them as intended because they do not actually light up a reasonable amount of the surrounding space. When substituting a tall silver candlestick instead, there is a very noticeable difference in the amount of light provided. Please make the coto item lamp into a viable light source for deco since it does still count against the number of lights limit. Thank you.

    Just some thoughts and thanks for pointing me to your report Serenia:

    Might be more of a feedback item, or even wishlist for wanting to have multiple brightness settings or options for different light brightnesses, dunno. But truthfully, for every light someone wants brighter, there'll be someone else who wished it stayed where it was or even want it brighter than what you want for their lighting scheme. Me for instance, I prefer to not wash out my deco area with bright lights where all shadow is removed. I'd prefer for there to be dips into shadow so I can use lights to emphasize certain areas.

    My suggestion, use additional lights.

    I guess my main problem at this point is that it just seems impossible to light the larger player dungeon rooms (the 3-entrance stone foyer, the Blue Marble Pool Room, the White Marble Ballroom A). I have wasted a HUGE amount of gold placing more and more and more lights (and trying different types of lights) and getting very little actual lighting effect for all that expense. It is easy to have shaded/shadowed areas. It is really extremely hard to have a fully or even mostly lit area. And there are a lot of nuances to color and pattern on some of the nicer deco items that is wasted if it can't be seen, and these things certainly do not show up in low lighting.
