Is the Jupiter V1 bright enough to read by?

No. It is designed for warm ambient light, so it works for mood and dining but not as a reading or task lamp.

Does it need to stay plugged in?

No. It is rechargeable and fully cordless, so you can move it between tables without a cable.

It is a textured glass-effect diffuser, not real glass or crystal, though it is made to mimic hand-cut crystal.

Runtime depends on the brightness setting; expect shorter runs at higher output and longer runs dimmed.

It suits dining tables, bars, bedside tables and lounge settings where soft, movable light matters more than brightness.
