We have this lamp brought to our little daughter (2) because it finally falls asleep in her room, and we thought they could so when she wakes up at night turn on the lamp and so easily come to us and no longer needs to call us to be. From the light here, that would be no problem, the lamp is very bright, nice small and light. The crux of the matter is the on and off switch. This must be very firmly to what not only creates our daughter, because you just do not have the power. As a bedside lamp still great, because it is bright enough for the bedtime story and does not take up much space. According to the description, the lamp is also intended more for camping etc. and to use for an adult without problems.
