The LEDs are white, very bright and ideal to illuminate the keyboard of my laptop at Dämmerlich. So I do not need additional lamp. Hides? Sure, but only if it is bent into shape unfavorable. I have it sideways off the screen, so that the keyboard is illuminated from the side and no reflection on the display is. Previously I had a single LED as the light cone was punctual. Now the lighting is good.
The function is properly fulfilled and by the small size and weight can travel with the lamp prima in laptop backpack, so - buy recommendation!
