Let me start by saying this lamp is a total game-changer. The 36W brightness is no joke—it floods my entire living room with crisp, even light. I use it behind my reading chair, and the 350° rotating head lets me angle it perfectly whether I'm diving into a book or binge-watching Netflix.

The stepless dimming is where this lamp really shines (pun intended). Holding down the touch panel smoothly transitions from a cozy 3000K amber glow to a energizing 6000K daylight. No more harsh jumps between preset modes like cheaper lamps! The magnetic remote is genius—it sticks right to the pole so I never lose it in couch cushions.

Assembly took me exactly 4 minutes (yes, I timed it). Just slot together three pole sections and screw on the weighted base. Speaking of which—this thing doesn't wobble AT ALL, even when my cat rubs against it. The matte black finish looks way more expensive than its price tag would suggest.

Minor gripes? The pole has a very slight lean (maybe 2° off vertical), but only noticeable if you're OCD like me. Also wish it came with AAA batteries for the remote—had to raid my TV remote stash.

After two months of daily use: zero flickering, no overheating, and the RGB color-changing mode makes for killer ambiance during game nights. At this price point? Absolute steal. Buy one now before they realize they're undercharging.
