We have this Philips Living Colors lamp ordered us to do for the living room and we are thrilled. Unwrapped - plugged in - and off you go !!! This cool air is super as a backlight for the living room while consuming only 10 watts. Thus, in the future we will save significantly more than with our old uplight. The remote control can be either one-ellen a color or choose the automatic gradient. The light can be dimmed and adjusted additionally.
