The lights are barely used.
They just don't have the ambiance of table lamps.


Ambiance? I'd rather have light (-:

There you go..... I feel the same way. My living room is a place to
relax and watch tv, during which times a table lamp may be preferred,
but it's also a place I use to work on projects, do paperwork, and a lot
of other things. If the room had a ceiling light (which I wish it did),
I'd use it when I wanted it, and turn it off when not desired. Plus, in
my case, the LR is the room where the entry door is. When I walk into
the house with a bunch of groceries or other stuff in my hands, I want
to be able to flip a switch and see instantly.

More is not always "the best", but in this case, MORE LIGHT and more
lighting options, are best & preferred. Give me a ceiling light AND
some lamps, and I'm happy.

Let there be light.
I have the LV and FR lights on timers so they will be on when we get
home with the groceries. I get up at 5:30 AM and a light goes on in the
living room.

Driveway has a light with motion detector. Outdoor light is also on a
timer.

We also have had an under counter light in the kitchen that never gets
turned off. Been a homeowner for 47 years and that light has been on all
that time, day and night. I just put an LED light there.

In spite of all those light we do not have, nor do we want a ceiling
light in the LR.
