Let me start by saying this lamp is *gorgeous*. The gold finish is subtle and elegant, and the opal glass shade gives off a warm, diffused glow that instantly elevates any space. I’ve placed mine on my bedside table, and it’s become a little decor piece that also (sort of) functions as a lamp.

The portability is a major win. No cords mean I can move it from my bedroom to my patio without hassle. It’s perfect for power outages or cozying up with a book in different spots. The touch controls are intuitive—tap to switch between warm, neutral, and white light, hold to dim. Super easy!

But here’s the catch: the battery life is *not* what’s advertised. At full brightness, mine lasts maybe 3-4 hours, not the promised 9-10. And forget about 48 hours on low—it dims significantly after just a few hours. I end up keeping it plugged in most of the time, which defeats the purpose of ‘cordless.’

Another issue? The light doesn’t illuminate much beyond its immediate vicinity. It’s more of a mood lamp than a functional one. Don’t expect to read by it unless you’re holding the book inches away.

Final verdict: If you want a pretty accent lamp that you don’t mind charging often, go for it. But if you need reliable, long-lasting light, keep looking.
