It's BRIGHT and JUST RIGHT !! ByRust Never Sleeps on December 1, 2017. Color: Classic Black|. I have had several of this type of floor lamp with the florescent bulb -- and they worked well. However, the Litespan LED lamp is in a class of it's own !!Easiest to assemble, it has a light cover, and the LEDs are WAAAAY brighter than the old bulb-type lamps.The lamp is E-Z to assemble -- it comes with pictured instructions and all parts needed to complete the assembly.It took 10-15 minutes to check the pictures closely and completely assemble the lamp. A feature that I liked was the lighted "On-Off" button -- and there is no "bulb" to go dim or burn out !! This bright lamp is perfect for reading, sewing, hobbies, or wherever a bright, clear light is needed.
