Can adjust the intensity, perfect for reading, small size in the base if you have a small table but a a very decent size lamp, perfect tall tall, the touch sensor is a little bit tricky but eventually you get it right! After weeks of using we realized the battery don’t last long, we have to charged them very frequently and they are not that bright as they were the first day, I am worry that I paid a good amount of money for two lamps a the batteries will not last long, we will see!
