The power lead clicks in and is a narrow wire attached to a small transformer. The base has a usb output which will charge a phone. It has a mobile phone charger which is common nowadays. Unpacked and plugged in.

The illumination is good, especially for reading. My wife suffers from an eye condition that makes her surroundings darker. As we have * blinds the blue led, that is always on, is quite bright.

Really looks sleek on the desk and can be folded away. The neck is very flexible and offers easy directional adjustment. This is also adjustable for brightness.

The m button is for colour temperature control in 5 modes. It makes a nice little beep when it's switched on. The * are responsive and it just has a feeling of quality about it.

Table lamp for artwork to verify colours without distortion. I use it for crafting and it perfect. Keep it on small table next to me & use for reading, doing crosswords etc.
