It provides a large amount of directed light and works like a charm.  I was surprised by just how small the lamp and light were and didnt realize I was buying a lamp that has a bulb that is not available to be replaced, making this a lamp that is only good until the bulb goes out.  In that respect, I am not happy with it.  If it could be replaced, I would rate it 5 stars.   IF THERE IS A WAY TO BUY REPLACEMENT BULBS, I would greatly appreciate being notified by customer service.
