I needed a lamp for lighting my embroidery as I work on it from my little "nest" on the corner of my couch. My last one gave out.
This one is bright LED. You can switch modes between cool white, warm white and both on at the same time. Of course, the LED is integral to the construction. Once the LEDs burn out, you will need to buy a whole new lamp... you won't be able to just replace the lightbulb.
It comes with a remote, although I am not great at keeping track of them. I stuffed the remote in a drawer someplace and I'm sure my heirs will wonder what it goes to when they are clearing out my "stuff!" The controls are close enough to just reach over and use without the need for a remote.
Assembly went fine. It would be nice if you didn't have to assemble it yourself, but that's not the way the world works anymore! I was concerned that the weighted bottom would not be heavy enough to hold it in place, but so far it is proving me wrong... even with a robot vacuum that likes to bump into it daily.
My only "wish" is that the snake neck were longer and more maneuverable, but as I shopped, looking for that feature, this one seemed to be the best available among the ones I looked at.
I recommend this product.
