Great for reading in bed!
I use this lamp at my bedside either for reading books or with my Kindle Fire for reading and apps.  Before getting this lamp, I was content with using my overhead lighting to read in my room.  Since getting the Verilux lamp, I use either the lamp alone (particularly at night) or the overhead and Verilux lamp combined.  It also improves use of my Kindle Fire or other tablet/cell devices.  In any of these situations, using the Verilux lamp makes a clear difference in ease on the eyes so there is no eye strain or related headaches.  The contrast of a black and white text page is perfect.  The gooseneck of the lamp is adjustable to get just the right angle for your reading or craft work.  It does provide a good pool of light for these purposes as opposed to lighting up the room.  If you are reading at night it won't disturb a partner sleeping for example but is significantly higher quality than using a booklight.  Replacement bulbs are available currently priced at around $20.  A comparable product in desk/table top lamp is also available, though for the bedside or an armchair this floor lamp is just the right height.  I have also submitted pictures of what the lamp looks like in my room to show the height.  Most people think of a floor lamp as being taller than this is.  I wouldn't want it at a taller height for my purposes.  I have also added pictures of what text looks like under the light so check out customer images for those pictures.  I will absolutely continue using this light for reading and I suspect replace the bulb maybe once a year?  It could even last longer but $20/yr or so is very reasonable for good reading light.  Now that I am used to this, I couldn't go back to just my overhead lamp or a table lamp at my bedside. I will recommend this product to friends and family as well.
