Is it hard on the eyes? Going in the kids fort, don't want to hurt their eyes. Looking for a warm, pleasant light. Hard to find these days.

It has a "warm white" LED color temperature which is more like a incandescent light, not a harsh bright white or blue LED color. This will fit your needs.

The light is a warm yellow and can be adjusted to two levels of brightness. This is a fairly small lantern, about as tall as a soda can but not as big around.

No, I wouldn't say so. It has two settings, I always use the low setting to prolong battery life. Just enough light for a campsite.

The design of the lamp/reflector is such that they should be placed above as the light is reflected downward. If you hang it above their heads it is nice. I hang two in my 6'2'' high 9x 12 cabin tent and it illuminates it nicely with no glare and enough light to hang out in, though it is not really enough to read by. When you move them down to a table the glare is somewhat irritating but nothing like the traditional style camping lantern. If hung in a tent with a low ceiling I would guess they would be a good choice as well. The color is very good, and they do last quite awhile on one set of batteries.

That's why I got this lantern--I hated that harsh blue/white that the typical cheap LED lights have. This looks like it has a regular bulb in it, but with the long-life advantages of LED, and with a high-low brightness setting.

Yes, it is very well lit with a soft light that can be easily seen from across the room. This has been very effective with my two younger sons (if only I'd discovered this for my oldest!).

I found the same thing to be true. They were great at first, so bright I couldn't let my two year old grandson play with them, too bright for his eyes but in less yhan a week they were useless, barely lit up.

I have found it to be a very bright, white light. I would not call it "warm". Hope this helps.

Not sure. It's more in the warm side (slightly) it's not bad and it's a great deal. Just remember that this light will need a transformer. Thank you. NKH

The light isn't bright at all. A 60watt light bulb is 80% brighter. It comes with eye goggles. Probably don't need them as the light doesn't seem to hurt my eyes.

I had a slight reaction to light indoors, but for best results, go outdoors. The sun makes it so much more fun, and fresh air is wonderful, too! ;)

We got chandeleir lights. The lights were for my daughter and she had no idea what to get.when we got down there we went to Walgreens and picked them up. You may want to bring a lamp in there with you

I don't consider it to be too bright. It casts a lot of light behind and up the wall it's plugged into, but just a soft glow away from the wall. It's in our three year old's room after going his first two years with just a very dim blue light, and it doesn't bother him at all. You mentioned a small nursery; our room in about 10ft X 12ft.

I'm not an expert but it not about what light your eyes get, it's about your skin. And the light isn't dangerous, unless of course, you're putting your face right up against it, that just seems more uncomfortable than smart.

I like the Uncle Milton Star Theatre Pro, except the light is a little bit weak. This is "ok" for my wife and I sitting around in our living room listening to music, looking up at the planets. But for a really serious domed black surface, you need something that is brighter, in my opinion. Last year a lighting engineer (who owns the company that makes slides at http://www.microstru.com) emailed me and offered to make a brighter light if he got at least 500 orders. I emailed him that I was interested, but I don't think he every got enough order. You may want to email that company about getting a brighter light. It may cost you a premium, but I'm sure he can sup-up a brighter light. There are also other cool projectors that you can get, in addition to the Uncle Milton. For example, there are cool laser show type things which I'm considering myself.

I like mine. It's not too bright nor too dull. For the price I'd suggest trying it as you'll never have too much light..

It is not bright, soft mellow glow. Depending on how bright you want it, you will need multiples. We use it near our front door as a "nightlight" when our kids are out later than we are so they can see when they come in.

It is not so bright that it hurts MY eyes. I usually use it on low for reading at night but have turned it on high and have NOT been negatively effected by it. :)

This particular lamp gives off somewhat bright white light, which, from an emotional standpoint, feels cold. I don't believe it's necessarily brighter than, say, a 40 watt incandescent, but it gives a greater sense of glare because of its stark white coldness. I would, personally, prefer a warmer or more golden glow in a nursery room. It would, however be bright enough to see well enough to feed.

Tried to use it in low lighting outside recently and could not figure out how to get light (helps to read the manual ahead of time!). Later figured out that there is a low lux setting, which I have learned how to use...simple change in settings....but haven't tried it out yet.

in the right environment; doesn't do well in extreme temps so inside only and like light in small doses. I hope this helps!
