I have to admit that I thought I would be able to manually change to whichever color light I was feeling depending on my mood, but instead this lamp fades in and out to all of these colors, non-stop and there is no way to select one at a time, change speed, pattern, etc. That wasn't what I initially wanted, but I was pleasantly surprised after a few weeks of using this that the fade in/out is very lulling and relaxing, so I ended up really liking it.
