The light that it gives is fine. However, I find the on /off button is difficult to use. I find it is recessed too much. I suspect you are trying to keep the unit profile sleek and refined but I find it VERY frustrating to try to turn it on and off the way it is. If the unit had an on/off switch placed on a cord I would find that easier to turn on and off. Plus there would be less chance of the unit falling over when reaching for the on/off button while trying to hit just the right spot to make it work. A longer electrical cord would be helpful as often wall outlets are sparsely placed. Also I had hoped I could use the light with a timer so that I could use it in a similar way as an alarm clock in that when the light turned on at a pre set time its brightness would wake me up like sunshine coming into my room.. so I was disappointed with that. But it is still a good product.
                    Sincerely, L.A.H.
