Love this lamp!
I just love this lamp! One of the reviews says that it's too short but I think its just perfect. With it sitting at the end of my couch, that has a recliner in each end, to read its just right. Any higher and it would make a glare on my glasses. With the diffuser, the silver grate looking thing, it keeps it from having a lot of glare when sitting below the head of it. It doesn't light up a whole room this way but it also keeps it from making a bright reflection on my TV screen like my other lamp did. The diffuser also makes it so that it puts out a cone of nice bright white light under and around it so when sitting next to you can have plenty of light to read without being bright enough to bother anybody else in the room. This makes it a more personal lamp kinda like the little lights over your seat in a airplane. If you want more light from it just take the diffuser off. This will double or almost triple the area that it lights up. But then it does make a lot of glare.<br /><br /> About the only thing I would change would be to put the switch on the column instead of under the head. That way it would be easier to reach while sitting next to it. And it had a little too much wire so when putting it together it was a bit difficult to get all of it poked inside the tube so I could get the head on it. Other than that its a great light.
