I am thrilled with this light. It is just what I needed for my bedroom with very few outlets and not large enough for bigger lamps. This light stays out of the way, yet is easily accessible with the remote control. It has various stages of light, and I really appreciate the fact it can be dimmed and slanted so bright lights are not in my face. I highly recommend this item. The only negative I have is that the battery that came with the remote is not readily available in all stores. At first I didn't think it worked, but it had extra plastic on the battery and after figuring that out it is wonderful! The colors can be changed and muted or brightened. I highly recommend this light.
