It throws light outwards pretty well then? I read a review that says that the led lanterns with the diodes on the bottom shining up don't throw that much light to the sides and most of it just goes straight up. Is that your experience as well?
That review says that either side facing or downward facing leds are better.
The ufo lights, something like this?
