We originally bought this floor lamp for my mother who suffers from macular degeneration. She enjoys to read small print comics and because of her eyesight could no longer enjoy this past time. The Brightech Floorlamp allowed her to enjoy her comics easily. The second one we bougt was for our 13 year old granddaughter, who loves to paint with acrylics. She does her painting in her parent s garage, where she does detailed pieces, like mandalas. This lamp illuminates and magnifies and can be easily adjusted. This way our granddaughter can paint with strain. We love this lamp!
