Luxury Furnishings: Culanda and Varla Stone, Glowing are ridiculously bright!

So I like the idea of these but do they have to melt the eyes? What's worse is they cannot be turned down or off. They make good decorations for a high ceiling, but it overpowers everything in a room.

Pictured is the Varla stones, but the Culanda Stone, Glowing is also similarly bright (but golden in color and less eye burning)

    Working as intended. Many housing enthusiasts <3 these items for their brightness as they do a great job of lighting up dark interiors. If you need something not so bright, please use any of the hundreds of other lighting options, but kindly don't ask for these 2 to be changed.

    No new crafting or game systems for 2019? "Season of the Dragon" would be better named "The Year of no New Major Features"

    If you don't believe me for how beloved these lights are, check out the reactions to having them back in the Luxury Vendor this weekend in this thread:

    If you place a blue + yellow one close together, they give off an almost perfectly white light that brightens the entire room. <3 They're quite wonderful, really. Please don't nerf!

    If you want to dim their brightness a little, you could always place them inside a wall. That way you'll mostly have their glow. :)

    I made a lighthouse beacon for my Hunding's Palace tower using these bright lights + the achievement skyshard beams.

    They are intended to be that bright, its honestly the best thing about them, as you don't need many of them to light up a large interior, thus saving furnishing slots.

    Well, I stand corrected.

    It would be nice if they were interactive, that way they can serve as both bright illumination sources as well as decorations.

    I wish they were available more then once a year. I just finished decorating the Lakemire Xanmeer and was totally broke when they hit the vendor, have to wait a year to be able to get them now.

    They're not terribly expensive in guild stores and probably won't be for a bit, so if you get some more $ saved up, it's probably worth a look.

    I totally agree with this (and am a bit surprised to find out they didn't have a toggle in the first place, since most lights do) :)

    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there a vendor version in Auridon or some other AD zone (its been a while) with a much dimmer/interactive version?

    Yes, in Skywatch - https://eso.mmo-fashion.com/veiled-crystal/ Much nicer light IMO, not interactable though.
    I don't like those cold, blinding Varla/Culanda Stones either. They look like cheap LEDs.
