I had a small, bright bedside lamp sought that fits under our sloping roof. This lamp is ideal for the purpose because it is flexible, thereby swiveling height and direction adjustable. Visually, I like it well, but that's a matter of taste. For me as a reading light bright enough, even much brighter than it should be, but I set the simmetric then slightly to the side and then adjusts the brightness. In principle, they could easily ausleichten our entire bedroom if I would place them accordingly. For me, the life of the lamp remains to be seen, because the LED lamp, as with all LED table lamps I have ever found, is not replaceable. Is this so broken, I must throw away the whole lamp.
