I seriously can’t recommend this desk lamp enough! It is super bright (there’s 3 different brightness settings), very sturdy, quick and easy to turn on and off, and even has a USB port on it that you can use to charge your phone or any number of other things! It worked great as a lamp for my home office, for coloring or homework with my kids, as a bedroom nightstand light, and has since worked even better at my makeup and nails station lately! It’s absolutely PERFECT for doing my makeup and nails! It is a nice matte black color and is a gooseneck lamp, so you can adjust the light however you want (range from high to low shown in my pictures). This part is is perfect for doing my nails, especially when applying tips or tiny rhinestones with my bad eyes! To make it turn on or turn off you just tap the top of the base however many times you want, it’s very sensitive to your touch and is just a breeze to use! And one of the best parts is that you don’t have to change out the light bulb(s)! I’m pretty sure it’s an LED light, but I’ve had mine for about 6 and a half years and used the heck out of it and have never had to change any lighting or had any issues with lights burning out! The only reason I bought a new one (being delivered today) is because my kids are SUPER rough and unintentionally destructive and just recently there seems to be a short in the cord or something because it’ll work great until I move it and then it turns off and won’t turn back on again until I jiggle the cord around or physically move the light back to where it was before I tired to move it. Since I primarily use it for my nails and I move it frequently while using it I just went ahead and ordered another one. I’ll honestly probably still keep this one and just use it if I’m doing my makeup in the bathroom or something where I don’t have to move it, because it still works great as long as you don’t move it!It for some reason the quality has changed and the new lamp doesn’t meet the same standards then I’ll come back here and update my review. But otherwise I say don’t even take a second to consider it, just buy now and I promise you won’t be disappointed!!!
