I like to knit and watch TV in a dark room, so I needed the right light. Others I have tried needed batteries or were too bright or too dim. This one is PERFECT! It is sturdy and has easy to move wheels. It has a nice range of brightness levels and hues. The magnification is just right for jewelry or handyman projects where you use small screws and hooks. I would like to see some more flexibility in the arm being able to bend it 180-30 degrees for example, so I could place it behind my couch and pull it over my arm. Great price and worth every penny.
