This is a nice small footprint using light for a nightstand or a desk or anywhere you need some extra light close by at your fingertips.
It doesn't have dimming but it does have the cool/daylight/warm setting, which changes the way the light looks and how bright it appears, so kind of a pseudo dimming I suppose. The single LED with the magnification lense over top is pretty dang bright, much brighter than i expected given the "light, but not harsh" light from the side of the light.
This will be handy in a power outage for sure, but it will make a great desk light, the neck is extendable, so you have around 6 inches of travel, which would give you a little less direct light so it wasn't so harsh on pages if you're book reading with it, if anyone reads books anymore that is.
Nice light, nice and heavy, but just held on with the magic of the magnet, very secure, tilt and angle however you like, it's a good buy
