wonderful reading lamp
I ordered this lamp when my halogen reading lamp broke, and in most ways it's perfect for my needs. It was easy to set up (even for me) and the quality of the lighting makes reading a pleasure. The halogen lamp was very intense and very hot, while this one is cool and relaxing for the eyes. The only down-side is that it provides very little lighting outside of its immediate area. Others' reviews had warned about this feature, so I knew what I was buying, but I've had to supplement the lighting for other areas of the room, areas that the halogen lamp had made very bright.  Even so, I'm very glad I bought this verilux lamp. When I read in its light, eyestrain is gone, and that is priceless.
