Title: almost perfect
Product review: Perfect for what I needed. I needed a desk light for computer graphics work. Something that would illuminate what I was reading but not interfere with my my monitors. I knew I needed a piano style lamp and this was perfect. If you are looking for a lamp that will also give you ambient lighting for the room this is not the one. The light is very directional. I would estimate the optimal illumination area with the light 2' hight is around 30" with a rapid drop off. But that's exactly what I needed for my tasks. The light is also in the daylight spectrum, which for me being used to incandescent and halogen lamps seemed very blue and cold. It was a little jarring at first to me but I found this spectrum is very easy to read with and to my eye, doesn't affect the colors of my monitors. Emotionally I want the warmer light but intellectually I think this might be better. So I'll just get used to the blueness. The reputed energy efficiency and lamp longevity are gravy.
