This is a great light for needlework. ByNonnieTop Contributor: Cookingon May 1, 2017. Color: Classic Black|. This is a great light for needlework. Positioned is behind a recliner. The adjustable light is wonderful. I can make it as bright was I need for intricate needle work, or I can dim it down a bit for reading. I have had similar shaped daylight floor lamps that tended to tip while re-positioning. This one is not tipping at all. I can re-position the goose neck while seated, no problem. The weighted base is quite heavy. If this light truly does last for 12 years, it is a terrific value. Also, it was easy-peasy to assemble AND it does not get hot...... it does not even get warm which is a big plus. I have sat under it for hours at a time while it is turned on to full power and it really does stay cool to the touch. Highly recommend.
