Mercury silver to me is slightly transparent. These are they are silver. What really fries me is that apparently i have to pay for returning them! Shame on me.

Has 3 light brightness settings changeable by cycling through the power chain. It has multiple ports for different chords and came with the bulb which i appreciate.

The plugs plus usb ports make it so functional. The charging provides quick and efficient charge just like a wall plug-in. It has the charging ports for the new iphone chargers as well! Perfect for my daughters’ room to charge ipads.

Just bright enough to light up the room but not overpowering. It has enough brightness to see but not jarring. The dimming function is really nice too.

Kudos on the space saving design + extra outlets in the base. Easy to setup. Works well in an rv. Quality supports price.

Hunk of junk. Doesn't function the way its marketed. The supplied led bulb is way to bright.
