These lights are great since the base comes with extra storage.  Thing like ipods, cell phones, and cords fit nicely in the storage space.  The only negative is that it needs a special lightbulb.  They are easy to find at Lowes or Home Depot, but they aren't the kind that you are going to keep on hand at home.  That's the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of five!  It is a great lam overall.
