I have a pair of these small lamps with gimbals mounted in my boat saloon. They throw off a tad more light as a candle - it has a flat wick of about 1/2" wide - certainly will not create enough light to read (not even close). If you're looking for more than mood lighting, look for a lamp with a round wick. Over the years, my lamps have developed a dull, brass patina and look wonderful - much more durable than other lamps I purchased around the same time that must be brass plated, not solid brass. These little guys have gotten awfully expensive - I think I paid about $75 for mine with gimbals back in the early 1990's.
