Love this! I bought it to use by a sofa which sits in the middle of a room and there are no outlets nearby. It works very well for that purpose but I am now moving it around the house for extra light for reading, or knitting by the fire when you want to keep the rest of the room darker and cozy. I am buying one as a Christmas gift for a couple of friends. Very helpful that you can choose the color warmth and dim when you want. Easy to use.
