Great concept- bad "on off switch".  This light has an on/off switch on the BOTTOM of the fixture, meaning that I have to turn it over every time i want to turn it on and off.  I needed this for bedside, and its quite large, so its quite clumsy to turn it on and off that way.  It has a timer (6h on/18 off) but on a bedside table you need to be able to turn it on and off easily, maybe sometimes in the dark, etc.    I'll send it back BUT as soon as they put a switch on the side of the base I will re-buy it because its really pretty.
