I bought the lamp for our bookshelves in the living room as a reading lamp. Processing including the terminal is really a good and solid impression. Another positive aspect is the long "neck" of the lamp. You can turn this really well. Thus I could for example connect it to the lamp terminal for reasons of space behind a small box on the bookshelf and turn around the container. Negative is clearly the strong something acrid smell of the lamp. This is even after days (the lamp had a few days ago received) still clearly smell (distance of approximately one meter distance). We still have two other clamping lights from a hardware store. In these lamps, there was no strong odor, despite the same price range. Us disturbs this is not because it is yes is only the reading corner in the living room. However, I would lamp (until the smell hopefully gone;) in the first period) should not be applied in addition to a place to sleep in the bedroom or nursery. As mentioned in some other recessions I can recommend the use of heat reasons even with an energy saving lamp. Otherwise, there are other than the odor nothing to complain about. One star deduction for the strong odor. This is, incidentally, also available when using an energy-saving lamp.
