The lamp has a bright but not too bright light. The light color I find very pleasant. Almost like daylight. From lighting ago this is the best lamp that I've ever had. And I've tried many. A star deduction there, because it is quite large and especially difficult. In addition, their base is very hot. This heat stops also long. After turning off you have to wait a while until you can unscrew it. Nevertheless, I am very satisfied and would buy it again.
