For me, the lamp is on my bedside table. The first dimming level is wonderful as lighting while watching TV, the other two for reading and illuminating the room. Grade watching TV makes your high quality noticeable, because the glass lampshade is provided inside with a second glass layer (~ see. White porcelain), so that the halogen lamp not durchleutet punctually, but is reasonably evenly across the screen distributed (indirect lighting). You will therefore not be reflected on your TV and also appears not when viewed directly. For completeness, it should be noted that the outer glass layer appears somewhat like sandblasted glass.
I can therefore highly recommend purchasing this lamp.
