How bright will it be? Will we lose complete darkness at night? That would be a huge bummer.
It’ll be about as bright as a full moon, but obviously it won't be as big. The light will be concentrated in a much smaller point. It'll "drown out" some of the other stars you would usually be able to see, but the night won't suddenly be super bright at all times.
