Nice design, but the light is very warm (I think even warmer than the 3000K advertised).  Not very bright.  Can only be used for small area accent.  Biggest complaint is the foot switch.  It's the cheapest of all construction and, effectively, doesn't work.  I'm just going to go buy another switch at the hardware store  and replace it myself.  I did come up with an alternative use for it:  I'm disconnecting the base and securing just the vertical shaft as an under cabinet light for my bookshelf/desk.  I think that's going to end up making it a useful item.
