The lamp fulfills all promises. For work, I do not want to miss you, because they will donate enough light to read at any time day or night. If one really attaches importance to good working light, I can recommend anything else. So far I had only lights that were no longer suitable in the evening to read lower case text or in heavy use soon went broke. This lamp makes a stable and solid impression. However, it is not recommended to have them in a combined living and working area, since the light (although a daylight lamp so has per se and therefore can not be put to the Seller at the expense) but makes a rather unpleasant atmosphere, the more of a slaughterhouse like. You should also know that the lamp for a desk lamp but is quite large and bulky, which then also makes solid.
