If you need extra light in your room close up, this is the perfect light to have. It’s great for arts and crafts. It’s good when new baby and you need a taller light closer to the crib, in an office where you need something close to your computer, many different ways to use it. I used it in my office for extra lighting and I’m retired now so I don’t need it anymore. But it’s a great light to have especially in bedrooms.
