This is a fairly cool lamp. It has lots of neat colors and of course the standard cool and warm white. You must point the control￼ directly at ￼the plug to make it change colors or do all the fancy functions. The only thing I was disappointed in was the material – it is a soft paper like material. It came in a small box which was surprising. ￼ I got this lamp to put in my study to help with pictures and it will be perfect for that however it is not some thing I would leave in my living room on display. ￼
