I ordered the LivingColors Iris year before a half of Amazon when it was to have low in the warehouse deals and I'm still happy. Situated I have the iris in my bedroom and use it as a bedside lamp. But it is perfect! If no other light source in the room is on, the color perfectly to advantage. The colors are really very bright and strong. I find that even adjusting the colors is realtiv easily. I had earlier concerns, as I have often read, the operation was delayed and too slow. I have currently not yet been determined. Test, I have asked the lamp sometimes into the living room, and here also I was a little disappointed. If other lights are going the color of LivingColors under quickly. For use in the living room then would I think so at least 2 be present from the Iris. In summary, I can say that an iris is great alone as mood light, but then it does not reach the brightness of a normal lamp. Is it aware of this, you will be very satisfied.
