I have been using mine for 6 months now, and a lot depends on the existing ambient lighting in your area and the desk layout/size. For the money, I think there are better alternatives available that require less arm-extension space and provide for better control over the color temperature and light direction. Personally, I find it cumbersome to adjust and focus on a specific area. They are very well designed, aesthetically speaking, but from a practical and ergonomical standpoint, not overly impressed. (2) strategically placed Luxo-style architect’s lights with color balanced bulbs with the proper lumens/wattage still seem to be the best answer for me. LED lighting is a tremendous eye saver for overall illumination, especially if your loosing crap on your desk like I do all the time, but for figures, especially 54mm, I want the ability to position and “point” light. I also have shop-lights with LED lamps overhead 6’-8” and this washes the remaining space. My advice, save your money, experiment with bulbs and fixtures or and a combination of them.
