This is our third Tube Top Lamp with clear bases and white shades, due to their simple and beautiful design, and abundant light. We have two of the smallest lamps on night stands on both sides of a queen bed, and a larger lamp on a night stand next to a single bed. The dimmer switch allows fir graduated light from night light to reading levels and is conveniently located on the cord close to the bed. Sleek design, high functionality and versatility in a single product wins my admiration enough that this is my first ever review!
