I got more than I expected from this lamp set. The included light bulb is a 3 way LCD bulb. I like the variable light settings. I was confused at first because I couldn't find a switch to turn it on, but when I tried the lamp out I discovered that it's actually a touch switch built into the frame. This is a very nice feature as well. In addition the lamp base includes two usb charging ports and a 110 volt outlet too. I don't know how much more handy this could be. I'm enjoying the lamp very much. I am glad I made this purchase. Also, assembly was very easy and I didn't even need any instructions. That's good because the instructions were so tiny that I couldn't read them anyway.
