We had a time an old bedside lamp with ON / OFF switch and when at night our little hunger had been first everything was swept off the bedside table to the other switches found. Why this table lamp? Because it looks not bad and makes a robust impression! A few days after the order came to the lamp. Unpacked and get screwed the ancient E14 bulb from the disused old table lamp. With some fumbling the light bulb screwed into the new light (of course you can also unscrew the matte round glass, then go lighter). Plug into the socket (cable length I do not know, is also important for us as bedside tables directly in socket) and try the same times. Completely satisfied. A very light touch of the base, the lamp turns on. One more touch and the average illuminance level is reached. Another contact and the lamp with all your strength. To identify this marvel, again tapping lightly. The table lamp is now four weeks every night in action and we have not therefore be the slightest reason dissatisfied.
