We bought a pair of these lights to place them in a skylight tunnel as sconces. The amount of light was less than we expected (I did not read carefully that they use ONLY 3 Watts!); they may work well on a step where a smaller and closer-by area is illuminated but for our larger surfaces, the illumination is not strong. They are small and nice, clearly well made. They turn easily to allow focusing on any part of the wall. They protrude very little out of the wall so quite an effective way to illuminate some wall without having a large sconce sticking out.
We tried using Lutron dimmer Maestro (Lutron MACL-153M) this dimmer will NOT work since the lights consume so little electricity and WILL NOT TURN OFF. Dimming was happening and was fine. Spec sheet states only 2 recommended dimmers (that are of course quite a bit more expensive -"Approved dimmers: Lutron Skylark SELV-300P-WH and Leviton Vizia VPE04"). With the normal dimmer, you can dim but not turn off except by pulling a special switch on some dimmers so be careful in selecting your (expensive) dimmers for these (expensive) lights.
They claim a 40,000 hour LED life; not clear how I will replace the LED after some 4 years... I will enjoy them for now and not worry.
If you want strong light, stay away from these VERY expensive lights.
