These are beautiful. I thought my husband would be unhappy with changing our bedroom lamps, as he is a creature of habit. He loves (as do I) how easy it is to turn the light on by simply touching any metal part of the lamp. The lowest is like a night light and can be left on if you are going to bed later and don't want to stub your toe in the dark. While it is a tri light and you have to cycle through to turn the light off, the cycling is quick. The ambiance of the lamp as well is very nice and one can easily read in bed with the highest setting. Highly recommend.
