For $35, good value. For $40 maybe not....
I knocked a star off my review to reflect the recent price hike.<br /><br />At $35 this is a good value.<br /><br />It solved both my needs for flexible overhead lighting and a magnifying glass.<br /><br />PROS<br /><br />- Affordable.<br />- Elegant design that hides the gaudy springs underneath.<br />- Bright enough for most tasks.<br />- Easy to manipulate in various positions.<br />- Can serve as overhead lighting when diopter is not in use.<br /><br />CONS<br /><br />- No way to lock the lamp at the base so it's prone to swiveling around when you don't want it to.<br />- The brightness seems to reset itself each time the power is turned off. So, I have to adjust the brightness each time I turn on the lamp.<br />- Due to the placement of the buttons I constantly hit them by accident when moving the lamp.
