You need something - No. But it's still nice

I have long wondered whether such a product could be really worth 120 euros. After the purchase I have to say - it is in the sense of the word "inexpensive". You get a lamp that is not intended for the illumination of complete living rooms (one uplight can not replace it) but to watch TV or to relax and snuggle up on the couch there is nothing better. I have accustomed myself a matching color to the film set, which greatly improved the film impression, almost a replacement for the expensive Ambilight from Philips flatscreens. The mentioned in advertising "16 million displayable colors" are naturally not be reached in practice, purely emotional, I would sometimes estimated at 250-300 shades. More precision is with the remote control simply not possible.

The lamp itself can only be positioned at an angle, the old model with 10 Watt was a standing ring included with which one could vary the angle. If necessary, you can buy more for these few Euros. Philips is also for this lamp has an estimated service life of 8-10 years, in 1.5-hour visit every day.
The remote is functional, but occasionally you change times by mistake the color, so petite fingers have a small advantage. On the remote control is the color wheel, with which you can adjust the corresponding color by simply touching the color segment. Add to that a controller for the brightness (+/-) and the white color in the light (+/-). You can freely connect up to 6 lamps with a remote control, to whom is not enough, the light output can thus conveniently operate several lamps simultaneously.

(To convince or for additional arguments to the partner) for bargain hunters: For example, my uplight consumes 320 watts. The lamp by Philips more than 15 watts. When I go out of 2 hours use a day then I save almost 35 euros a year ... in a little over 3 years she pays for itself. :-)

So who is looking for a mood lighting and no reading lamp is the best advice here. I would also recommend to choose the location carefully, if it is too close to a wall, the light output is weaker. With me about 35 cm away from a white wall were optimal.
