I do may things in my living including doing crafts at a small desk to the side, and I could never get good enough lighting without more the one light on. Well problem solved with this 5 bulb lamp with dimmer switch. I turn it all the way up when I'm creating, and down to softer light when just relaxing 
or watching TV.  Another nice feature is the extra heavy base (which is quite large) but easy yo hide under the couch. You can move the arms and put the  lights where you need them or just randomly around the room.    Really glad I made this purchase.

Pros: see context above
Cons: I haven't found any yet
