Exactly what I wanted
I had been on the lookout for some time for the perfect reading lamp and decided to try this Verilux Original Natural Spectrum lamp when I saw it at a friend's house and learned that she uses it while hooking rugs, a task that is very demanding on the eyes.  I am very pleased with the purchase.  I find it provides excellent light for reading - no glare, no shadow, two options for brightness. Also I like the looks of it - sleek and not too big.  It was easy to assemble, although 2 screws were missing from the package.  When I called Verilux, they were very pleasant to deal with and sent the screws right out.
