It throws bright light on the shelf.

I attached these to a wooden headboard on a guest bed that doesn't have room for night stands. They are a great size and solution for my small room problem.

It is well made and the antique brass finish goes well with our church furniture.

added this light to our pc desk, it is perfect. small but adds enough light. adjustable to put light where you want it. 2 screws, plug it in and turn it on. It even came with the bulb! great buy.
