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.

Light is warm and soft and can increase 2 levels to a very bright reading lamp. There are three settings and each one gets brighter when tapping the base or the stem. It has 3 brightness levels.

Great for space saver, doesn't use a lot of energy. Great light output for its footprint. Brightness levels which are perfect.

I use this at night on the lowest setting & it flickers. The lamp makes a loud noise when it’s plugged in. Too sensitive to change the brightness/dimming.

This is the last time that i buy some generic five-capital letter deaoow word brand item from amazon, they are all trash. It's not worth the headache. Feel ripped off.
