I really love these lamps!I bought two of these lamps; one for my desk and another for my wife's bedside table, where she likes to read in bed at night. I bought these because of their sleek design, as well as the fact that they can be used at different lighting levels. I got these after previously ordering two TaoTronics lamps that I was not happy with (see below) and I am totally pleased.The design is great. They feel like they're well made, with nice brushed metal, rather than shinny, cheap plastic.The touch power/dimming control is very responsive and easy to use. The lamp has three lighting levels, from very bright, to medium-bright, to a nice, dim mode which would be great for reading at night.The light is very sleek, consisting of a round base and two thin tubes that are maybe about 1/2" in diameter. The light can be moved in any direction and the head rotated 360 degrees. The vertical tube can also be pulled forward at an angle if desired.The light produced is completely defused, and therefore produces no shadows and specular refractions. It looks like there are many LEDs inside, very closely-spaced behind an opaque lens. The lamp produces almost no heat at all (the light head is barely warm to the touch.)The only thing this lamp doesn't have that I would wish for is a USB port for charging phones. However, I certainly can't complain about that as most lamps do not have this, and as a lamp this thing shines!I highly recommend this product and am ordering another one myself.I previously had bought two of the "TaoTronics® Elune TT-DL01 (Piano Black) Versatile Natural Light LED Desk Lamp (4 Lighting Modes: Reading Studying Relaxation & Bedtime, 5 dimmable Level / Touch Sensitive Control Panel / 1-Hour Off Timer / 5V/1A USB Charging Port)" lamps and ended up returning them because I just was not happy with too many things about them. They were very flimsy, the plastic looked and felt very cheap and attracted fingerprints like crazy. The touch controls were a pain to operate and only responded with significant effort (the power and lighting modes worked pretty well, but the brightness controls almost never worked.) The light also was quite bulky in my opinion, especially for an LED light, considering how small LEDs are. It just looked clunky. It did offer different color tones which this lamp does not do, but overall brightness is similar. One other thing I didn't like about the TaoTronics compared to this light is the it had multiple sharp points of light that were harsh and not defused, causing lots of specular refractions; this light does not do this and is beautifully defused, producing bright but soft light. The pivot joints were very sloppy and did not hold the light in position well. The point below the vertical point was the worst. You won't have that problem with this light.
