Great for reading, especially in the evening
Great for reading, especially in the evenings when normal bulbs make the page look yellow.  Not great if you want ambient light - but then again, that's not it's purpose.  When sitting under it you'll feel a little like a plant under a grow lamp, but it really is excellent for reading.  I probably sit and read for 2-3 hours at a time with no eye strain at all.  Nice finish, too.  Looks far more expensive that it is.<br /><br />Update: Lasted about 9 years before the clamp that adjusts the heavy lamp part failed.  Not bad!
