I bought this lamp because I'm amateur radio, I often use my equipment in my vehicle, and I often need a light source at night in order to make the various frequency settings etc. I also recently used to change a flat tire, convenient to not have to hold a working lamp! The light source is high, the look is nice, the elastic is adjustable easily, one can also attach it to the inside to illuminate the retro dashboard of a vehicle etc. In short a good product.
